WWE Raw - 12/24 - 5th Annual Tribute to the Troops - Taped in Iraq

[4wrestling]

Hope everyone is having a great holiday. I have to run as I'm on my way out to my aunt's for Christmas Eve, so just a very brief preview fortonight's show. This is arguably the most important show the WWE produces all year long. Sure, no major happenings occur at the show, and the results areknown as it is taped weeks in advance, but for the WWE to take their product live each year to our troops is just an amazing gesture on their part. You cancriticize the WWE all you want, and there is PLENTY to criticize them about, but this is one time when you just have to sit back and appreciate the good thatthey are doing.

December 24, 2007[/h1]

On Christmas Eve, WWE brings you our most important broadcast of the year. Spend the holiday with our troops in Iraq, as WWE presents its 5th Annual Tribute to the Troops.

As the only entertainment event broadcast from Iraq, WWE Superstars and staff brought the excitement of a WWE live event to our soldiers stationed in the Middle East. They also spent lots of time meeting with the brave men and women making up our Armed Forces.

Join us as Tribute to the Troops, WWE's way of bringing the troops home to you for the holidays, airs Christmas Eve at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Layla.

I give the WWE a lot of flack for the garbage they put on TV but Tribute to the Troops is one of the few things they do right.


Hopefully this will be the last Tribute to the Troops show the WWE ever does.

Anything on royal rumble tickets ?.......I'm try to resell them. There going to be like hotcakes.

 

[4wrestling]

Still nothing from what I've seen. Very strange selling strategy by the WWE to hold them for this long.

Major props to Vince and all the superstars who made the trip over there. Definitely one of WWE's best shows of the year.

you're right I never knew (if it's true) that Saddam did that to the soccer team.

I can't believe they don't bring Hacksaw along on these trips.

Great show.


I still hate DX.

 

[sohi 23]

Damn. I forgot about this show, ah well.

This thread is beyond dead

Does anyone know when royal rumble tickets go on sale? Last I heard it was supposed to be the last weekend of december but theres no substantial date it seems.

Last time I went to a wwe event was probably 02 but I wouldnt mind going to RR if I got a pair of decent seats. If the card if weak I could always flip them.
