Once upon a time, Albert and Kane had a big man match that was better than it had any right to be, because both men had freaky chemistry with each other.

Monday night, we saw the second match between Aleister Black and Erick Rowan, and they had a pretty nice little back-and-forth, with Black battling not just Rowan, but injuries sustained from The OC earlier. The Dutch Destroyer absorbed a series of slams and stomps to finally put Rowan down, hitting him with a barrage of strikes, kicks and knees.

It helped that Rowan knocked his stupid animal cage off the steps, which led to him getting distracted and tending to it, then walking right back into two Black Mass kicks for Aleister’s win.

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.
