Set aside the idea of suddenly making Akira Tozawa the leader of a bunch of ninjas. Well, don’t set it aside, ridicule it and move on.

But rather than return to focus on the tag division Monday night, we got a truly bizarre situation with the Viking Raiders and Street Profits teaming up against Tozawa and three nameless ninjas, all of whom got the crap beaten out of them. Akira then summoned the seven-foot ninja into the ring, which then triggered the Viking Profits to call in the Big Show, who attacked the three faceless ninjas again, while Tozawa and the giant ninja escaped.

Of all the things that happened on Raw Monday night, this was one of them.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
