9 Times WWE Promoted 'Freak-show' Matches
9. Akebono Vs. Big Show
In the book of Genesis, a snake-stickered apple (Granny Ssssmith's?) was enough to tempt Eve. Since then, humanity has been living in sin (possibly), and the direct result of this Biblical transgression was Big Show in a mawashi - a true reminder that we're living life outside Paradise if ever there was one.

It's unknown which despicable reprobate dreamed up Big Show vs. Hawaiian sumo sensation Akebono in the dohyĆ, or why their perverted ideas came to fruition. Thankfully, it was as brief as Show's attire was unnecessarily revealing, as the experienced rikishi flung the dilettante outside the ring within a minute.
Akebono wasn't seen in WWE again, and mercifully, neither was Big Show's mawashi.
