The supersized men’s division on Monday Night Raw really deserves its own spot in this column.

Ivar, Otis and Bronson Reed have been highly entertaining far more often than not during the past few months, and Monday night, it was Ivar and Otis giving it a go in a hard-hitting sprint that featured one of the most jaw-dropping spots of the year: Ivar attempted a springboard crossbody, only for Otis to catch him and deliver a World’s Strongest Slam.

The two big men continued to swing for the fences, dodging each other’s attacks and showing off their agility, giving way to Ivar nailing his moonsault for the win. It was short, energetic and never dull. There’s not much else to ask for in a match like this.
