[Cole] You are looking at Camp Victory,
Baghdad, Iraq,

home of the Combined Joint Task Force 7.

24
00:01:41,434 --> 00:01:44,337
Welcome to a special presentation
of SmackDown,

25
00:01:44,404 --> 00:01:47,373
Christmas from Baghdad.

26
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,176
I'm Michael Cole alongside Tazz.

27
00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:51,711
[Chimel] Ladies and gentleman,

28
00:01:51,778 --> 00:01:54,113
the Chairman
of World Wrestling Entertainment,

29
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:56,483
Mr. McMahon.

30
00:01:56,549 --> 00:01:59,886
[Tazz] And, Cole, we are thrilled,
honored, and privileged

31
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:03,656
to entertain the real heroes
of our great country.

32
00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:09,128
It's amazing, Cole, Christmas in Baghdad,
SmackDown style.

33
00:02:09,195 --> 00:02:12,999
[Cole] Thousands of soldiers
from the 5th Corps of the US Army,

34
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:17,737
and the Combined Joint Task Force 7
greeting Mr. McMahon.

35
00:02:19,472 --> 00:02:22,775
Here on Christmas from Baghdad.

36
00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:31,284
On behalf of World Wrestling
Entertainment,

37
00:02:32,385 --> 00:02:34,921
on behalf of my fellow Americans…

38
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:37,657
[crowd cheering]

39
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:43,563
On behalf of freedom-loving people
all over the world,

40
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:48,168
we have come here on this very
special day in Iraq

41
00:02:48,234 --> 00:02:50,470
to simply say thank you.

42
00:02:50,537 --> 00:02:53,139
[crowd cheering]

43
00:02:56,876 --> 00:03:00,780
Thank you for allowing us the privilege
to perform before you.

44
00:03:02,248 --> 00:03:05,552
Thank you for serving in the Armed Forces.

45
00:03:06,986 --> 00:03:12,425
Thank you for providing the sacrifices
that it takes for that service.

46
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,130
We thank you for protecting
our great nation.

47

[crowd cheering]

48
00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:23,469
We thank you for defending her freedoms.

49
00:03:25,004 --> 00:03:26,506
And most importantly,

50
00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:31,778
we thank you for having the courage
to fight for what you believe in.

51
00:03:31,844 --> 00:03:34,814
[crowd cheering]

52
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:39,652
We thank you for kicking ass,
taking names,

53
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:41,554
and capturing Saddam.

54
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:44,724
[crowd cheering]

55
00:03:48,528 --> 00:03:51,531
This special holiday season
is the embodiment

56
00:03:51,598 --> 00:03:54,233
of the spirit of celebration.

57
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,936
And even though you men
and women here in Iraq

58
00:03:57,003 --> 00:04:01,608
cannot be back at home with
your loved ones and your family,

59
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:03,743
we've decided here in the WWE

60
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:07,146
to bring a little slice of Americana
to you here today.

61
00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:10,350
[crowd cheering]

62
00:04:10,416 --> 00:04:14,420
That slice of Americana
is known as the WWE,

63
00:04:14,487 --> 00:04:17,423
so I say let the celebration begin.

64
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:20,460
[crowd cheering]

65
00:04:23,162 --> 00:04:26,132
-Uh, there is one more thing…
-[festive music playing]

66
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:27,667
What the hell?

67
00:04:31,738 --> 00:04:34,240
-[Cole] Hey!
-[Tazz] Look at this, Cole.

68
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:37,977
-[Cole] Old St. Nick in Baghdad.
-[Tazz] Santa is everywhere.

69
00:04:38,044 --> 00:04:40,113
Oh, it's Santa Claus!

70
00:04:42,148 --> 00:04:43,816
[Cole] What do you think
he's got in the bags?

71
00:04:43,883 --> 00:04:46,352
-[Tazz] A little bit of a gut on him.
-[Cole chuckles]

72
00:04:46,419 --> 00:04:49,222
[Cole] Obviously,
he hasn't been in basic training.

73
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:52,392
[Vince] Looks like Santa is a little bit
out of shape this year.

74
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:58,264
Somebody help Santa
get in the ring, will you?

75
00:04:58,331 --> 00:04:59,932
Hold the ropes for him.

76
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:04,037
Easy there.

77
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:09,275
Okay. Look at the size
of the belly on Santa.

78
00:05:09,342 --> 00:05:10,943
Oh, that's a whopper.

79
00:05:11,678 --> 00:05:13,613
Yeah. [chuckles]

80
00:05:18,751 --> 00:05:20,987
I'm sure the reason Santa Claus is here

81
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:23,489
is because you came out
to give Mr. McMahon

82
00:05:23,556 --> 00:05:25,425
his Christmas present, right?

83
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:34,300
Well, that means that what's in those bags

84
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,703
must be a Christmas present
for somebody else?

85
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:40,239
-The troops, right?
-[crowd cheering]

86
00:05:40,306 --> 00:05:43,209
Well, then, go ahead,
give them out but save one for me.

87
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:44,877
Go ahead, Santa.

88
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:49,549
-[Cole] How great is this?
-[Tazz] But what's in the bags?

89
00:05:49,615 --> 00:05:51,217
[Cole] I don't know, we're gonna find out.

90
00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:54,787
-[Tazz] Well, I want one, whatever it is.
-[Cole] Christmas presents for the troops.

91
00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:56,723
What did Mr. McMahon call this?

92
00:05:56,789 --> 00:06:00,059
A slice of Americana
being brought to Baghdad.

93
00:06:02,261 --> 00:06:04,297
[Tazz] What's in the bags, though, Cole,
maybe he's got a…

94
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,933
[Cole] Will you stop? You sound
like a kid around the Christmas tree.

95
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:09,369
[Tazz] Well, I know, it's Santa Claus.
I mean, it is Christmas.

96
00:06:09,435 --> 00:06:10,770
What's in the… What's in the bag?

97
00:06:11,604 --> 00:06:13,439
Santa looks like he might be
half in the bag.

98
00:06:13,506 --> 00:06:15,408
[Cole chuckles]

99
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:18,845
[Tazz] He's giving out.

100
00:06:18,911 --> 00:06:21,347
[Cole] Oh, this is gonna be some show,
Christmas from Baghdad.

101
00:06:21,414 --> 00:06:22,949
[Vince] Santa's making his rounds.

102
00:06:26,819 --> 00:06:30,056
[Cole] Where are the reindeer, the sled?

103
00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:33,893
-He should use camels, right?
-[Tazz] There's definitely no snow here.

104
00:06:34,594 --> 00:06:36,562
What about Rudolph
with the red nose and all?

105
00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:38,731
[Cole] Yeah, camel with a red nose on it.

106
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:40,433
[Tazz] A camel with a red nose on it?

107
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,536
You've been drinking. Too much eggnog.

108
00:06:43,603 --> 00:06:46,939
[Cole] Hey, remember,
that's what the three kings used.

109
00:06:47,006 --> 00:06:48,674
-They rode camels.
-[Tazz] Three who?

110
00:06:48,741 --> 00:06:51,411
[Cole] The three kings, you know,
when they brought the gifts and stuff?

111
00:06:51,477 --> 00:06:52,612
[Tazz] Yeah, I like queens.

112
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:55,148
[Vince] Save one for me, Santa,
don't give all that stuff out now.

113
00:06:56,849 --> 00:06:58,885
I want the biggest present you've got.

114
00:07:00,119 --> 00:07:03,122
[Cole] Don't worry, Mr. McMahon,
I'm sure Tazz bought you a gift.

115
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:07,760
[Tazz] Santa's giving out some T-shirts.

116
00:07:07,827 --> 00:07:10,897
Probably the crown blue
of the SmackDown brand,

117
00:07:10,963 --> 00:07:12,865
SmackDown T-shirts probably.

118
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:15,034
[Cole] Santa Claus making his way

119
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:19,739
through this sea of troops
here at Camp Victory.

120
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:22,008
And throughout the show,
you're gonna meet troops

121
00:07:22,074 --> 00:07:25,244
from all over the United States.
In fact, all over the world.

122
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:28,114
[Tazz] Well, look back, isn't that tanks
back there on the hill there?

123
00:07:28,181 --> 00:07:30,883
We got tanks surrounding the ring,
and the Humvees, I mean…

124
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:33,052
It's an amazing setup here we got.

125
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:35,588
[Cole] Yeah, later on, on this show,
we're gonna tell everybody

126
00:07:35,655 --> 00:07:39,725
how the US Army joined the WWE
for the past three days

127
00:07:39,792 --> 00:07:42,962
to put this arena,
for a lack of a better term, together.

128
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:45,431
-[Vince] Let's hear it for Santa Claus.
-[crowd cheering]

129
00:07:45,498 --> 00:07:46,666
[Tazz chuckles] It's Santa.

130
00:07:53,139 --> 00:07:56,476
[Vince] Hey! Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

131
00:07:56,542 --> 00:08:00,213
Hey, Santa!
Hey, Santa, I'm talking to you.

132
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:05,885
[Cole] I think Santa was…

133
00:08:05,952 --> 00:08:08,187
[Vince] Back in here,
you forgot one thing.

134
00:08:08,254 --> 00:08:09,889
[Cole] I think Santa was leaving.

135
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,124
You forgot the most important thing.

136
00:08:12,191 --> 00:08:14,627
Come on up here,
I got a bone to pick with you anyhow.

137
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,543
Now, where's my present?

138
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:34,947
Must have it there somewhere hidden
in that big belly of yours, right?

139
00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:39,585
You… you don't have a present
for Mr. McMahon?

140
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:42,255
That's not good.

141
00:08:43,756 --> 00:08:45,324
And you know, Santa?

142
00:08:45,391 --> 00:08:49,128
I want an explanation from you,
I mean, when I was a little kid,

143
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,497
you passed over my house every year.

144
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:55,067
You never stopped at my house,
and I really wasn't that bad a kid.

145
00:08:55,134 --> 00:08:57,270
[Tazz] Oh, I don't know about that.
[chuckles]

146
00:08:58,237 --> 00:09:01,173
I would suggest then you turn
your big fat ass around

147
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,308
and get out of my ring.

148
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:05,177
[Cole] That's no way to talk to Santa.

149
00:09:05,244 --> 00:09:07,780
-[Tazz] McMahon just dissing St. Nick.
-I don't shake Santa's hand.

150
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:09,815
You don't bring me a gift,
I don't shake your hand.

151
00:09:11,550 --> 00:09:13,419
[crowd booing]

152
00:09:13,486 --> 00:09:15,555
[crowd cheering]

153
00:09:17,189 --> 00:09:18,658
[Cole] Hey!

154
00:09:19,525 --> 00:09:21,160
You see, that's what happens

155
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:24,764
when you disrespect
Mr. McMahon, all right?

156
00:09:24,830 --> 00:09:26,666
-[crowd cheering]
-[Tazz] Whoa, uh-oh!

157
00:09:26,732 --> 00:09:30,369
I'll kick Santa Claus's ass,
I'll kick your ass,

158
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:32,538
it doesn't matter whose ass
I'm gonna kick.

159
00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:33,873
I'll tell you that right now.

160
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:38,411
-[Cole] Is that…? It isn't!
-And as for Santa Claus, as far as I'm--

161
00:09:38,477 --> 00:09:42,048
[crowd cheering]

162
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:51,023
[Cole] Stunner!

163
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:55,494
[Tazz] Well, Santa Claus is
from Texas now, not the North Pole.

164
00:09:55,561 --> 00:09:57,930
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin!

165
00:09:57,997 --> 00:09:59,999
[Cole] Oh, wait a minute,
this is SmackDown,

166
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:01,500
Stone Cold is from Raw.

167
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:05,805
This really is a WWE Christmas in Baghdad!

168
00:10:05,871 --> 00:10:11,077
[Tazz] The Texas Rattlesnake on Christmas
right here in Baghdad!

169
00:10:11,143 --> 00:10:14,347
And our US troops are going nuts.

170
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:17,850
Mr. McMahon fell victim to the Stunner.

171
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:21,887
[Cole] Hey, Tazz, if you think about it,
Stone Cold sort of embodies

172
00:10:21,954 --> 00:10:24,023
what the Armed Forces are all about…

173
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,792
Kicking ass and taking names.

174
00:10:28,995 --> 00:10:32,665
[Tazz] And our US troops, man,
they are going bananas.

175
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:35,534
Bananas for this surprise right here,

176
00:10:35,601 --> 00:10:37,937
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

177
00:10:38,738 --> 00:10:40,706
in Stone Cold fashion

178
00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:43,175
dropping Mr. McMahon like a bad habit.

179
00:10:44,577 --> 00:10:47,079
[Cole] Good ol' happy, jolly St. Nick,

180
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:49,248
guzzling some brewskies.

181
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,384
[Cole] What a shocker. Take another look.

182
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:54,620
Mr. McMahon looked like
he had… he'd seen ghost.

183
00:10:54,687 --> 00:10:57,923
[Tazz] Yeah, a bald ghost. Way to go!

184
00:10:57,990 --> 00:11:00,726
That move will put you out quick too.

185
00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:03,729
[Cole] The Stunner heard 'round the world.

186
00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:08,801
[Tazz] And Mr. McMahon obviously
was on Santa Claus's naughty list.

187
00:11:08,868 --> 00:11:11,003
[Austin] Let me clear my throat.

188
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:14,006
I was back in the back
singing Christmas carols,

189
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:16,008
I got a little hoarse.

190
00:11:16,075 --> 00:11:18,577
-You heard, I got a little hoarse.
-[crowd] What?

191
00:11:18,644 --> 00:11:21,013
-I can't sing that good anyway.
-[crowd] What?

192
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,949
-So I probably guess…
-[crowd] What?

193
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:25,551
-…that you don't wanna hear…
-[crowd] What?

194
00:11:25,618 --> 00:11:29,255
-…old Stone Cold singing songs.
-[crowd] What? What?

195
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:31,390
-So I thought I'd come out here.
-[crowd] What?

196
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:33,626
-Maybe try to sing a little song.
-[crowd] What?

197
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,861
-But then after I drank a few beers…
-[crowd] What?

198
00:11:35,928 --> 00:11:37,229
-I figured…
-[crowd] What?

199
00:11:37,296 --> 00:11:39,699
-…I'd hold off on Christmas carols…
-[crowd] What?

200
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:41,734
-Go right to the back…
-[crowd] What?

201
00:11:41,801 --> 00:11:43,335
…and drink some more damn beer.

202
00:11:43,402 --> 00:11:45,805
[crowd cheering]

203
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,443
And if you're cool with Stone Cold
going to the back drinking some more beer,

204
00:11:50,509 --> 00:11:53,345
-give me a "hell yeah."
-[crowd] Hell yeah!

205
00:11:53,412 --> 00:11:55,848
[Austin] I didn't hear you,
I said, "Hell yeah."

206
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:57,550
[crowd] Hell yeah!

207
00:11:57,616 --> 00:12:00,352
And one more damn time…

208
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:02,488
[all] Hell yeah!

209
00:12:03,255 --> 00:12:04,623
All right.

210
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:07,827
Now, we got all the what's out of the way.

211
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,995
I just want to say on behalf of myself,

212
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:13,799
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
and World Wrestling Entertainment,

213
00:12:13,866 --> 00:12:17,303
it's been our pleasure and our privilege

214
00:12:17,369 --> 00:12:20,406
to come out here and hang out
with you guys,

215
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:22,775
to see exactly what you do

216
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:26,212
and I know Vince McMahon
along with the WWE,

217
00:12:26,278 --> 00:12:29,181
and especially "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

218
00:12:29,248 --> 00:12:32,918
has always supported
the United States Armed Forces.

219
00:12:36,522 --> 00:12:41,327
We appreciate the sacrifices you make,
allow us to do what we do,

220
00:12:41,393 --> 00:12:44,764
and we are behind you 120%.

221
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:47,566
[crowd cheering]

222
00:12:47,633 --> 00:12:49,502
Let me go off record here

223
00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:52,838
and let me see
a display of middle fingers.

224
00:12:58,644 --> 00:13:02,348
Now, Saddam Hussein can take that
and shove it straight up his ass.

225
00:13:02,414 --> 00:13:05,618
[crowd cheering]

226
00:13:05,684 --> 00:13:08,154
And that's the bottom line…

227
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:11,624
[with crowd] 'Cause Stone Cold said so.

228
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:14,927
[Cole] Now, that is a Stone Cold salute.

229
00:13:14,994 --> 00:13:17,029
[Tazz] No doubt. No doubt.

230
00:13:17,096 --> 00:13:20,366
Well put. Well put by The Rattlesnake.

231
00:13:22,234 --> 00:13:27,173
[Cole] What else is gonna happen
on Christmas from Baghdad?

232
00:13:28,607 --> 00:13:31,911
[Tazz] But you know what, it's great
seeing "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

233
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:33,612
right here on SmackDown.

234
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:39,685
But even better, checking him out
on Christmas in Baghdad. Awesome.

235
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:44,356
[Cole] Well, ladies and gentleman
earlier this week,

236
00:13:44,423 --> 00:13:47,693
the WWE Superstars had a briefing
with the Army

237
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,596
on the safety concerns in Camp Victory.

238
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:56,268
And that's when the gravity of
the situation really began to settle in.

239
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,472
I'm Sgt. Palmer, this is Maj. Newlander.

240
00:14:00,539 --> 00:14:03,475
I'm the anti-terrorism NCO
or the non-commission officer.

241
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:04,677
And he's the OIC.

242
00:14:04,743 --> 00:14:08,547
If there happens to be sniper fire,
which probably won't happen

243
00:14:08,614 --> 00:14:11,283
because we got hundred and hundreds
and hundreds of soldiers out there

244
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:13,519
protecting you guys from the show.

245
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:17,656
You won't realize it right off the bat
until it starts happening…

246
00:14:17,723 --> 00:14:19,892
Just get down like everything else.

247
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:21,827
Find a hard shelter,

248
00:14:21,894 --> 00:14:24,330
find cover where you can
hide behind something,

249
00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:26,498
and just wait until it subsides,

250
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:29,168
and we come out and say,
"Let's move to the van."

251
00:14:29,235 --> 00:14:33,138
You can have the mortars
that we typically get on this base,

252
00:14:34,106 --> 00:14:36,675
my building got hit four days ago,

253
00:14:36,742 --> 00:14:39,378
the guy was sitting, sleeping eight feet
away from it,

254
00:14:39,445 --> 00:14:41,013
but he was down low.

255
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,082
Good thing I'm from Atlanta,
I'm used to ducking.

256
00:14:43,148 --> 00:14:44,884
-Yeah.
-[laughter]

257
00:14:46,485 --> 00:14:50,990
Ladies and gentleman,
get ready to lay the smack down

258
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:54,126
in Baghdad, Iraq.

259
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:57,029
This is unbelievable,
these guys are incredible.

260
00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:59,999
This is like small potatoes compared
to what they do on a normal basis.

261
00:15:00,065 --> 00:15:03,068
This is Truck Squad from Baghdad, Iraq,

262
00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:05,738
and you're watching SmackDown.

263
00:15:05,804 --> 00:15:09,441
[Miller] We get things done around here
like pretty much twice as fast.

264
00:15:09,508 --> 00:15:11,477
It's like double time with
these guys, it's amazing.

265
00:15:11,543 --> 00:15:14,546
It looks pretty cool, man.
We got plywood ramp running down there.

266
00:15:14,613 --> 00:15:16,348
The monitors set up backstage.

267
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:18,684
Looking forward to entertaining
these troops out here.

268
00:15:19,852 --> 00:15:23,389
[all] SmackDown in Iraq! Hooah!

269
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:28,694
[Cole] Well, the Army became part
of the WWE for three days,

270
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:34,700
Captain Mike Kepner and 47 people
in charge of this entire setup.

271
00:15:36,302 --> 00:15:37,503
[bell rings]

272
00:15:37,569 --> 00:15:41,206
[Chimel] The following tag team contest
is scheduled for one fall.

273
00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:44,743
Approaching the ring
at a combined weight of 489 pounds,

274
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:47,980
Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin.

275
00:15:48,047 --> 00:15:51,917
The self-proclaimed
World's Greatest Tag Team.

276
00:15:51,984 --> 00:15:54,453
[Cole] Well, Captain Kepner's telling me
the communication section

277
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,621
in charge of the video,

278
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,890
the day laborers in charge
of setting up the ring,

279
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:59,892
and all those guys that helped out, Tazz,

280
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,428
sitting in the front row
right here tonight.

281
00:16:02,494 --> 00:16:05,230
[Tazz] And they should be. This place
is amazing. I mean, look at this?

282
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:09,635
There's tanks, I mean, soldiers are
sitting on tanks and jeeps and Humvees.

283
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:10,936
It's just an amazing setup.

284
00:16:11,003 --> 00:16:14,673
["Acolytes Protection Agency"
rock theme playing]

285
00:16:14,740 --> 00:16:18,744
[Chimel] At a combined weight
of 576 pounds,

286
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:23,816
Bradshaw and Faarooq, the APA.

287
00:16:23,882 --> 00:16:26,452
[Cole] I'm surprised that Faarooq
isn't the one wearing a flak jacket.

288
00:16:26,518 --> 00:16:28,821
He didn't wanna take it off all week long.

289
00:16:29,855 --> 00:16:31,056
And look at Bradshaw,

290
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:33,726
he really looks at home
with the helmet and flak jacket.

291
00:16:33,792 --> 00:16:35,561
[Tazz] Well, I'm telling you
Cole, Bradshaw…

292
00:16:35,627 --> 00:16:40,199
John Bradshaw played a major role in
helping to put this huge event together.

293
00:16:41,066 --> 00:16:44,536
I mean, this guy Bradshaw
has made more trips for our troops

294
00:16:44,603 --> 00:16:47,940
and visit our troops than anyone
on the SmackDown roster.

295
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:50,876
A major supporter of the US troops.

296
00:16:52,544 --> 00:16:54,380
He's just so happy to be here,
I'm telling you.

297
00:16:54,446 --> 00:16:56,915
[Cole] Well, Tazz, in fact, even when
we're done with SmackDown

298
00:16:56,982 --> 00:16:58,484
this Christmas from Baghdad,

299
00:16:58,550 --> 00:17:00,285
Bradshaw is gonna stay here
in the Middle East,

300
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:03,222
he's gonna be traveling
with Sergeant Major Jack Tilley

301
00:17:03,288 --> 00:17:06,191
and Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Preston

302
00:17:06,258 --> 00:17:08,494
to visit some more troops throughout Iraq.

303
00:17:09,561 --> 00:17:11,764
So set for our first mat action here,

304
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:14,233
we already had a surprise
with Raw's "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

305
00:17:14,299 --> 00:17:15,567
stunning Mr. McMahon,

306
00:17:15,634 --> 00:17:18,504
but it's the APA versus
the World's Greatest Tag Team.

307
00:17:18,570 --> 00:17:21,473
Faarooq and Shelton Benjamin
kicking this off.

308
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,143
[Tazz] Yeah, I don't think…
Speaking of kicking off, I don't think

309
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:26,478
Mr. McMahon's Christmas
has been that good already.

310
00:17:26,545 --> 00:17:28,614
Fell victim for that Stunner.
But right now,

311
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,751
a tie-up by Faarooq
and Shelton Benjamin here.

312
00:17:32,818 --> 00:17:36,789
-[crowd chanting] APA!
-[Cole] You hear the troops chanting APA.

313
00:17:36,855 --> 00:17:39,091
And Shelton Benjamin,
shot to the midsection.

314
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:42,061
Talking to Benjamin and Haas
over the past couple of days,

315
00:17:42,127 --> 00:17:46,465
telling us that they really learned
what these men and women are all about.

316
00:17:46,532 --> 00:17:50,636
That the WWE Superstars
aren't the stars in this theater here,

317
00:17:50,702 --> 00:17:52,404
that the Armed Forces are.

318
00:17:52,471 --> 00:17:55,707
And they're so… they're so excited
to be entertaining the troops.

319
00:17:55,774 --> 00:18:00,379
Faarooq off the rope, cover, hooked
the leg. Kickout by Shelton Benjamin.

320
00:18:00,446 --> 00:18:02,915
[Tazz] Well, here comes Bradshaw now.

321
00:18:02,981 --> 00:18:06,952
I tell you, this guy's been here so much,
he's damn near like he's a troop himself.

322
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:09,054
[Cole] Shelton Benjamin
off the top turnbuckle.

323
00:18:09,121 --> 00:18:11,890
And Bradshaw with a big knee
to the midsection.

324
00:18:11,957 --> 00:18:14,593
And Bradshaw hasn't just
visited the troops here in Iraq.

325
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:16,795
At one point, he visited our troops
who are…

326
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:19,698
who are still engaged in battle
in Afghanistan.

327
00:18:20,566 --> 00:18:24,136
[Tazz] Right there, rake to the eye
by Sheldon Benjamin on Bradshaw,

328
00:18:24,203 --> 00:18:27,072
and Charlie Haas just got
clubbed across the back.

329
00:18:27,139 --> 00:18:30,642
[Cole] You think Bradshaw's fired up
for Christmas from Baghdad,

330
00:18:30,709 --> 00:18:33,178
special presentation of SmackDown?

331
00:18:33,245 --> 00:18:36,415
Take down, Bradshaw off the ropes
delivering a forearm

332
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:39,284
into the small of the back.
Here's the cover, shoulders down.

333
00:18:39,351 --> 00:18:42,221
And a kickout by Charlie Haas.

334
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,056
[Tazz] Bradshaw now dominating
Charlie Haas.

335
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,191
-Got him in a backbreaker.
-[both exclaim]

336
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:47,826
[Cole] What a boot to Shelton Benjamin.

337
00:18:47,893 --> 00:18:49,995
[Tazz] That will shake off the jet lag.

338
00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:52,130
[Cole] And there's the slam
to Charlie Haas as well.

339
00:18:52,197 --> 00:18:55,567
Cover, shoulders down.
And Charlie Haas rolls the shoulder out.

340
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,403
Big thumbs up for the Director
of the Air Force Services

341
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:00,405
in conjunction with
the Armed Forces Entertainment,

342
00:19:00,472 --> 00:19:03,542
Art Myers for helping us
all put this together

343
00:19:03,609 --> 00:19:08,147
and inviting us to perform here
in Baghdad on this Christmas.

344
00:19:08,213 --> 00:19:10,782
[Tazz] Here we go, Faarooq now
going for a Dominator.

345
00:19:10,849 --> 00:19:12,451
But, oops, countered.

346
00:19:12,518 --> 00:19:14,353
[Cole] And Shelton Benjamin cheap shot,

347
00:19:14,419 --> 00:19:16,822
Faarooq walked into the clothesline
from Charlie Haas.

348
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:18,590
[Tazz] Referee had his back turned

349
00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:21,026
and the self-proclaimed
World's Greatest Tag Team,

350
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:23,162
ever the opportunist,
took advantage of it.

351
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:25,831
[Cole] Now, Shelton Benjamin
with the right hands to Faarooq.

352
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:27,733
Here's the cover, hook to the leg,
shoulders down.

353
00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:29,535
And Faarooq rolls the shoulder out.

354
00:19:29,601 --> 00:19:32,704
We talked about the arena here,
Tazz, M1 Abrams tanks,

355
00:19:32,771 --> 00:19:36,909
M2 Bradleys, Australian vehicles
called Piranhas, Humvees,

356
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:38,744
trucks, field ambulances,

357
00:19:38,810 --> 00:19:44,249
all encompassing the perimeter
of the ring here at Camp Victory.

358
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:46,051
[Tazz] Yeah, as we pointed out
earlier, Cole,

359
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:47,920
it's just an amazing atmosphere here.

360
00:19:47,986 --> 00:19:49,621
You could just look around and see it.

361
00:19:49,688 --> 00:19:52,157
[Cole] Cover again, hook of the leg!
And Faarooq just kicks out.

362
00:19:52,224 --> 00:19:54,459
[Tazz] I mean, this isn't
Madison Square Garden,

363
00:19:54,526 --> 00:19:55,994
that's pretty obvious.

364
00:19:56,061 --> 00:19:58,964
I mean, this is a… this is a war zone.
And we're here doing a show.

365
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:02,901
And again, to reiterate,
it's our privilege and pleasure

366
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:06,271
to do this in front of our
proud and tough troops,

367
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:07,539
applauding that right now.

368
00:20:07,606 --> 00:20:10,309
[Cole] We're talking about
Captain Mike Kepner and his crew

369
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:12,477
that made this all possible,

370
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:15,447
working for three and a half days
to set this up.

371
00:20:15,514 --> 00:20:19,484
Faarooq off the big back body drop,
really needs to make a tag to Bradshaw.

372
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:22,688
And I'll tell you, if Bradshaw tags in,
this place will explode.

373
00:20:22,754 --> 00:20:26,658
[Tazz] Yeah, well, Faarooq has closed
Bradshaw a couple of feet away,

374
00:20:26,725 --> 00:20:28,427
Boom, there's your tag.

375
00:20:28,493 --> 00:20:32,898
[Cole] And here comes the big Texan with
a shoulder knockdown to Charlie Haas,

376
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:35,267
World's Greatest Tag Team's in trouble.

377
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:38,604
Shelton Benjamin might think twice
about coming into the ring.

378
00:20:38,670 --> 00:20:40,606
[Tazz] Second boot to Shelton's face.

379
00:20:40,672 --> 00:20:43,775
[Cole] Oh, man!
That's like running into a tank.

380
00:20:43,842 --> 00:20:46,144
[Tazz] Bradshaw. Wow, what a DDT.
Bradshaw's on.

381
00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:48,080
[Cole] Goes into the cover,
hook of the leg…

382
00:20:48,146 --> 00:20:51,416
Shelton Benjamin saving the matchup
for the World's Greatest Tag Team.

383
00:20:51,483 --> 00:20:55,153
And Faarooq into the ring as well,
double-teamed by the APA.

384
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:57,990
[Tazz] Wow, with a double shoulder
block there,

385
00:20:58,056 --> 00:21:01,893
two ex-football players knocking
Shelton Benjamin right out of the ring,

386
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,129
now, Charlie Haas.

387
00:21:04,196 --> 00:21:07,432
-[Cole] Where is he going?
-[Tazz] He's going down. Last Call maybe.

388
00:21:07,499 --> 00:21:10,535
-Last Call from the…
-[Cole] Oh, man!

389
00:21:11,203 --> 00:21:14,239
The Last Call delivered by Bradshaw.

390
00:21:14,306 --> 00:21:17,242
[Tazz] Thanks for coming. I'm telling you,
Haas might be done.

391
00:21:17,309 --> 00:21:20,145
[Cole] And Faarooq and Benjamin
going at it outside the ring,

392
00:21:20,212 --> 00:21:21,980
Shelton Benjamin back into the ring.

393
00:21:22,047 --> 00:21:26,718
And a kick to the face of Bradshaw
echoing through the desert.

394
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,720
[Tazz] You just took the words
right out of my mouth,

395
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,188
I was about to say that.

396
00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:32,524
[Cole] Faarooq with a slam
to Shelton Benjamin.

397
00:21:34,059 --> 00:21:36,928
And there's Charlie Haas knocking
Faarooq through the second rope,

398
00:21:36,995 --> 00:21:39,364
and on the assault of Bradshaw.

399
00:21:41,867 --> 00:21:44,036
Whipped across the ring,
here comes Bradshaw,

400
00:21:44,102 --> 00:21:46,772
Clothesline From Hell!

401
00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:48,940
[crowd cheering]

402
00:21:49,007 --> 00:21:51,743
[Tazz] There's the salute
and there's your pin cover,

403
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,445
It's done, see you later, Haas.

404
00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:57,082
-[bell rings]
-APA picked up the win.

405
00:21:57,149 --> 00:22:01,219
[Chimel] Here are your winners, the APA.

406
00:22:02,554 --> 00:22:06,892
[Cole] That's an explosive way to start
things off on Christmas from Baghdad,

407
00:22:06,958 --> 00:22:10,295
a special presentation of SmackDown.

408
00:22:10,362 --> 00:22:13,532
And throughout the show,
you're gonna see shots of the troops

409
00:22:13,598 --> 00:22:16,335
interacting with the WWE Superstars,

410
00:22:16,401 --> 00:22:18,036
not only here at Camp Victory,

411
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:21,840
but at Camp Anaconda
and also in downtown Baghdad.

412
00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:25,344
What a night it's gonna be!
Christmas from Baghdad,

413
00:22:25,410 --> 00:22:27,713
smack middle of the desert.

414
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,682
-You ready, man?
-Oh, I'm ready.

415
00:22:30,749 --> 00:22:32,884
Did you see what just happened?
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin

416
00:22:32,951 --> 00:22:35,253
goes out as Santa Claus,
dishes out a few presents,

417
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,056
turns back into "Stone Cold" Steve Austin,
and, wham!

418
00:22:38,123 --> 00:22:41,193
You get 5,000 troops out there, man,
they're ready for a hell of a match.

419
00:22:41,259 --> 00:22:43,962
-You got Eddie Guerrero, are you ready?
-Oh, I'm on, I'm ready.

420
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:45,664
I got something
for Eddie Guerrero as well.

421
00:22:45,731 --> 00:22:46,865
-Do you?
-Oh, yeah.

422
00:22:46,932 --> 00:22:48,667
You're gonna give him a little
Christmas present?

423
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:50,202
I've seen you work a million times.

424
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:52,671
Go out there and you get
5,000 people out there

425
00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:55,107
who appreciate what we do,
and you know why we're here.

426
00:22:55,173 --> 00:22:57,676
So go out there and whoop some ass,
that's what I got to say to you.

427
00:22:57,743 --> 00:22:59,945
-All right. I'm gonna show him.
-Go get it.

428
00:23:00,011 --> 00:23:01,213
You got that right.

429
00:23:03,749 --> 00:23:06,084
[Cole] That was Stone Cold
psyching up our troops.

430
00:23:06,151 --> 00:23:08,387
[Tazz] Look at that, that's about
as large as that Humvee,

431
00:23:08,453 --> 00:23:10,455
look at that ass on Rikishi.

432
00:23:10,522 --> 00:23:15,560
[Cole] I hope the Armed Forces
are battening down the proverbial hatches.

433
00:23:15,627 --> 00:23:17,329
[Tazz] Yeah, look at that.

434
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,664
[Cole] It's rump-shaking time
in the desert.

435
00:23:19,731 --> 00:23:22,367
-[Tazz] Oh, my God.
-[Cole] Rikishi is next.

436
00:23:25,971 --> 00:23:29,307
That's my daughter. She was born
on June the 21st of this year.

437
00:23:29,374 --> 00:23:32,611
I heard she's growing like a weed,
she said "Dad" for the first

438
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:35,080
time three days ago.
So she didn't say it over the phone

439
00:23:35,147 --> 00:23:37,516
but my wife was telling me about it.
It's very hard.

440
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:40,318
Me and my wife, we've known each other
since we were a lot younger.

441
00:23:40,385 --> 00:23:42,754
We've been married for, uh…
going on four years.

442
00:23:42,821 --> 00:23:45,957
So it's hard, but we learned
not to let it eat you alive.

443
00:23:46,024 --> 00:23:47,726
The time has drawn shorter.

444
00:23:47,793 --> 00:23:51,062
It's closer to us going home
so that makes a little bit easier.

445
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:53,432
Just try to focus on what you're doing,

446
00:23:53,498 --> 00:23:56,835
and keep them in the back of your thoughts
and in your heart,

447
00:23:56,902 --> 00:23:58,837
and carry on with your mission.

448
00:24:00,972 --> 00:24:02,607
Hi, my name is Jackie Huber,

449
00:24:02,674 --> 00:24:04,943
I'm a captain with the North Dakota Army
National Guard.

450
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:06,945
I'm at LSA Anaconda in Iraq.

451
00:24:07,012 --> 00:24:10,949
I'm with HSC of the 142nd Engineer
Battalion from North Dakota.

452
00:24:11,016 --> 00:24:15,153
I would like to give a special
holiday greeting to my family back home,

453
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:19,124
my husband, Lane Huber,
my two sons, Jacob and Joey.

454
00:24:19,191 --> 00:24:20,725
Hi from Iraq.

455
00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:23,228
I'm Sergeant First Class
Petroni from Detroit, Michigan

456
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:24,896
Station 4, Carson, Colorado.

457
00:24:24,963 --> 00:24:27,098
I want to say Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year

458
00:24:27,165 --> 00:24:30,435
to my wife and my children,
all my loved ones back home.

459
00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:31,770
See you soon.

460
00:24:31,837 --> 00:24:33,939
[Cole] And merry Christmas to all of you.

461
00:24:34,005 --> 00:24:36,775
[Tazz] Well, Christmas from Baghdad
being brought to you by Lugz

462
00:24:36,842 --> 00:24:40,245
who presents the latest Funk Master Flex,
driving shoe advantage.

463
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:41,713
Lugz, the streets are on.

464
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:44,249
[Cole] And Paramount Pictures presents

465

[Tazz] And brought to you by
Tony Hawk's Underground.

Put your face in the game,

468
00:24:53,658 --> 00:24:56,595
Available on all gaming systems.

469
00:24:56,661 --> 00:24:58,463
That ain't no game right there.

470
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:00,799
Those crossing sabers…
Oh, speaking of games.

471
00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:05,670
-Santa's little helper.
-[crowd cheering]

472
00:25:05,737 --> 00:25:08,773
-How would you describe that, Cole?
-[Cole] Uh, hot?

473
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,309
-[Tazz] Check.
-[Cole] Well, Torrie Wilson, Sable,

474
00:25:11,376 --> 00:25:12,777
and Dawn Marie,

475
00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:16,715
all gonna be a part of
Santa's Little Helper competition

476
00:25:16,781 --> 00:25:18,884
a little bit later on tonight.

477
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:21,086
-[Tazz] Well, that should be a doodad.
-[Cole] Oh, man.

478
00:25:21,152 --> 00:25:22,521
[Tazz] Doodad, you like that?

479
00:25:22,587 --> 00:25:25,023
[Cole] Not talking about any elves there.

480
00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:28,159
-[crowd cheering]
-[bell rings]

481
00:25:28,226 --> 00:25:30,862
[Chimel] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

482
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:35,333
Approaching the ring
weighing in at 350 pounds,

483
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,202
Rikishi.

484
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:40,739
[Cole] 350 pounds of rump-shaking fun,

485
00:25:40,805 --> 00:25:43,174
Rikishi heading to the ring

486
00:25:43,241 --> 00:25:47,913
as we'd like to take this opportunity
to thank Armed Forces Entertainment

487
00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:49,781
for making this trip happen.

488
00:25:49,848 --> 00:25:54,519
What an honor and what a privilege
it is for the WWE

489
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:59,357
to be here in Baghdad performing
for the troops here on Christmas.

490
00:25:59,424 --> 00:26:02,360
-There's nothing like this!
-[Tazz] Now, this is amazing, Cole.

491
00:26:02,427 --> 00:26:06,631
This is a career highlight
for all of us from SmackDown,

492
00:26:06,698 --> 00:26:08,567
and the WWE as a whole.

493
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:10,135
It's a great opportunity,

494
00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:12,938
it's a great moment for us to come here

495
00:26:13,004 --> 00:26:17,008
and see these young men and women
protecting our country and our freedom.

496
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:18,176
["Tusk" playing]

497
00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:23,648
[Chimel] And from Detroit, Michigan,
weighing in at 275 pounds,

498
00:26:23,715 --> 00:26:25,483
Rhyno.

499
00:26:25,550 --> 00:26:27,686
[Cole] And who's ringing the bell,
the timekeeper?

500
00:26:27,752 --> 00:26:28,987
-[Tazz] Who?
-[Cole] Name's Maddy.

501
00:26:29,054 --> 00:26:31,590
He's a 19-year-old private
from Atlanta, Georgia.

502
00:26:31,656 --> 00:26:35,093
When the war began, he was involved
in those house-to-house searches.

503
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,928
-[Tazz] Cole, you hear that?
-[Cole] I hear it.

504
00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:39,497
[Tazz] Check it out, man,
those Black Hawks, those helicopters,

505
00:26:39,564 --> 00:26:41,800
that's part of the security detail here.

506
00:26:41,866 --> 00:26:44,469
Look at that, man, that's real stuff
right there, my friend.

507
00:26:44,536 --> 00:26:48,807
[Cole] We do want to remind everybody
that the Camp Victory Arena, so to speak,

508
00:26:48,873 --> 00:26:53,178
is in the middle of an active war zone
here in Baghdad, Iraq.

509
00:26:53,244 --> 00:26:57,148
And those helicopters, a reminder
of what is going on here

510
00:26:57,215 --> 00:26:58,550
in the middle of the desert.

511
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:01,152
[Tazz] Those helicopters
are watching our back, bro.

512
00:27:02,687 --> 00:27:07,125
[Cole] So it's Rikishi and Rhyno,
set to go one-on-one in this matchup.

513
00:27:07,192 --> 00:27:10,729
And Rikishi, we had an opportunity
to speak with him a little bit earlier on,

514
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:12,831
and he really said
some things to us about…

515
00:27:12,897 --> 00:27:15,333
which really hit home for what's
going on here in Baghdad.

516
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,970
It happened down at the 28 CSH Hospital
in downtown Baghdad.

517
00:27:19,037 --> 00:27:21,406
Rikishi actually saw a young child,

518
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:25,477
an Iraqi child walking
down the street on one leg.

519
00:27:25,543 --> 00:27:28,346
[Tazz] Yeah, and, you know, Rikishi,
like you and I, as a parent,

520
00:27:28,413 --> 00:27:32,384
as a father… It hit hard for him,
and it's just…

521
00:27:32,450 --> 00:27:36,287
It's a different world here.
It's a dangerous world, and our US troops…

522
00:27:37,222 --> 00:27:40,925
Our US troops are letting us
in their dangerous world.

523
00:27:40,992 --> 00:27:44,062
We're proud to do it…
And Rikishi having a good time

524
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:46,398
shaking that big rump of his.

525
00:27:46,464 --> 00:27:48,667
[Cole] Rhyno and Rikishi
lock up again, center of the ring.

526
00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:52,203
I'd like to take this opportunity
to thank the 34 people

527
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:54,873
who came to Baghdad
and put this all together,

528
00:27:54,939 --> 00:27:58,410
Eighteen Superstars
and 16 production people.

529
00:27:58,476 --> 00:28:00,478
Now, what you see at your bottom
of your screen here

530
00:28:00,545 --> 00:28:05,116
are the 16 production people
who did the work of 150 people

531
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:07,852
that would normally work
on a SmackDown event.

532
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:12,624
Can you believe it? 16 people did the work
of 150 here in Baghdad this week.

533
00:28:12,691 --> 00:28:15,894
[Tazz] Oh, wow, can you believe that? Oh!

534
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,231
Rhyno almost got splattered
right here in the desert.

535
00:28:20,298 --> 00:28:23,735
Well, I don't know why is Rhyno
kicking the ass of Rikishi.

536
00:28:23,802 --> 00:28:25,937
You don't wanna hit that,
that's armored, man.

537
00:28:26,004 --> 00:28:29,441
That's like a Sherman tank or one of those
Bradley Fighting Vehicles.

538
00:28:29,507 --> 00:28:31,376
-[Cole] I just noticed something.
-[Tazz] What?

539
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:33,044
[Cole] You're not in a suit and tie.

540
00:28:33,111 --> 00:28:35,246
[Tazz] It's hot as hell out here,
what do you expect?

541
00:28:35,313 --> 00:28:37,348
[Cole] I never thought I'd see you
in desert camo.

542
00:28:37,415 --> 00:28:38,850
[Tazz] Yeah, me either.

543
00:28:38,917 --> 00:28:42,821
[Cole] The Man Beast driving that shoulder
into the midsection of Rikishi.

544
00:28:42,887 --> 00:28:46,825
Rhyno saying he was overwhelmed
by the outpouring of support

545
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:51,396
that the troops had
for the WWE Superstars all week long,

546
00:28:51,463 --> 00:28:54,966
just an honor to play in front of them
here, Christmas from Baghdad.

547
00:28:55,033 --> 00:28:58,570
[Tazz] Rhyno just caught a real,
real tight kick right in the face.

548
00:28:58,636 --> 00:29:00,972
Rhyno might be a steak out
of straw real soon. Oh, no.

549
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:03,374
And Rikishi up to the second rope.

550
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:05,910
[Tazz] Uh-oh.
Uh-oh, it's rump-shaking time.

551
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:07,512
And the troops feel it!

552
00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:13,384
[Cole] And Rhyno countered
with a low blow apparently to Rikishi.

553
00:29:13,451 --> 00:29:16,521
I was gonna say Rhyno might want
to eject at this point in time.

554
00:29:16,588 --> 00:29:18,490
[Tazz] Caught one in the yam bag.
Here comes Rhyno.

555
00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:20,225
[Cole] Nobody home.

556
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:22,160
[Tazz] Missed with the Gore. Uh-oh…

557
00:29:22,227 --> 00:29:24,863
-[Cole] Samoan Drop.
-[Tazz] What a Samoan Drop it was.

558
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:26,865
[Cole] Cover, hook of the leg, he got him.

559
00:29:26,931 --> 00:29:28,666
[bell rings]

560
00:29:28,733 --> 00:29:31,035
["U Look Fly Today" playing]

561
00:29:31,102 --> 00:29:34,672
[Chimel] Here's your winner, Rikishi.

562
00:29:36,808 --> 00:29:41,312
[Cole] Rikishi picks up the win,
some rump-shaking fun.

563
00:29:41,379 --> 00:29:44,048
Christmas from Baghdad.

564
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:48,753
[Tazz] Big Kish getting it done right here
in the desert, in the war zone.

565
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:52,123
And that was a… That was a war
between two big bulls right there.

566
00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:54,392
But the Big Kish got it done.

567
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,028
-Uh-oh.
-[Cole] Oh, my.

568
00:29:57,095 --> 00:30:00,031
[Tazz] Can you hear the troops saying
"Stinkface! Stinkface!"

569
00:30:00,098 --> 00:30:02,333
[Cole] And Rikishi backing it up!

570
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,669
[Tazz] Oh, no, poor Rhyno.

571
00:30:04,736 --> 00:30:07,438
[Cole] Stinkface to The Man Beast!

572
00:30:07,505 --> 00:30:10,809
I'll tell you what, they should have
shoved Rikishi down that damn hole

573
00:30:10,875 --> 00:30:12,410
where Saddam Hussein came from.

574
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:15,613
[Tazz] Well, I don't know if Rikishi
would have fit in that hole, Cole.

575
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,384
But Rikishi fits right in here
with the US Army.

576
00:30:19,450 --> 00:30:22,253
They're loving the Big Kish
here in the desert.

577
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,722
[crowd cheering]

578
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:27,659
[Cole] Where is he going?

579
00:30:27,725 --> 00:30:30,128
[Tazz] It's like he's getting ready to
leave but then he stopped.

580
00:30:30,195 --> 00:30:31,930
[Cole] I think he forgot something.

581
00:30:33,064 --> 00:30:35,500
[Tazz] Well, he already Stinkfaced Rhyno.

582
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,869
There's nobody else in the ring
except Referee Brian Hebner,

583
00:30:37,936 --> 00:30:39,804
his face is too small to Stinkface.

584
00:30:41,472 --> 00:30:44,442
-[Cole] It's dance time.
-[Tazz] How do you know?

585
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:46,811
-[Cole] Rikishi always dances.
-[Tazz] 'Cause it's Christmas?

586
00:30:46,878 --> 00:30:48,446
[Cole] Right,
that's what the soldiers want.

587
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,315
[Tazz] So he only dances on Christmas?

588
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:52,050
[Cole] No, he dances all the time.

589
00:30:52,116 --> 00:30:54,052
-Check this out.
-[Tazz] Oh, look at this.

590
00:30:59,023 --> 00:31:04,195
[Cole] Rikishi taking members
of the Army here at Camp Victory…

591
00:31:04,262 --> 00:31:06,931
[Tazz] I hope that she puts that M16 down.

592
00:31:06,998 --> 00:31:08,466
[Cole] …into the ring.

593
00:31:11,269 --> 00:31:13,438
[Tazz] The Big Kish is gonna have
a good time here

594
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:16,140
with these two young ladies,
these two proud soldiers.

595
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,745
[Cole] Notice how Rikishi picks
the young ladies out of the crowd?

596
00:31:20,812 --> 00:31:22,814
[Tazz] You know, it's not you
in there, Cole.

597
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,284
But Rikishi just wants to have
a good time.

598
00:31:26,351 --> 00:31:28,720
Oh, check it. What the hell?

599
00:31:29,954 --> 00:31:32,323
Well, these people have been here
a long time, you know.

600
00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:35,393
[Cole] You know, Rikishi said earlier,

601
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,662
his hat really goes off
to the Armed Forces,

602
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:40,031
really get a feeling
for what they're going through

603
00:31:40,098 --> 00:31:41,933
when you're over here in Baghdad.

604
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,636
And Rikishi just wants to give
a little bit back.

605
00:31:44,702 --> 00:31:46,437
A little dance routine coming.

606
00:31:46,504 --> 00:31:47,939
[Tazz] It's a great release, Cole.

607
00:31:48,006 --> 00:31:50,408
And these men and women
here from our US troops,

608
00:31:50,475 --> 00:31:53,378
they need a release,
nothing like this to do it for them.

609
00:31:53,444 --> 00:31:55,813
They're having a great time right now
with the Big Kish.

610
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,684
[Cole] They're getting down!
Christmas from Baghdad.

611

[crowd cheering]

612
00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:05,590
[Tazz] That's a lot of booty there,
my man.

-["U Look Fly Today" continues]
-[crowd cheering]

614
00:32:13,531 --> 00:32:17,101
[Cole] You mentioned it before,
couldn't have said it better myself,

615
00:32:17,168 --> 00:32:21,806
a tremendous release for these troops
the past three days have been.

616
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:24,809
[crowd cheering]

617
00:32:28,212 --> 00:32:29,747
Go get 'em, Rikishi!

618
00:32:31,149 --> 00:32:34,886
[Tazz] Rikishi's been in a lot matches,
but he ain't never gonna forget this.

619
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:36,688
[dramatic music playing]

620
00:32:36,754 --> 00:32:40,391
[soldier] Yeah,
this is the 709th MP Battalion.

621
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,493
As part of the 18th MP Brigade,

622
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,364
Col. Spann is the commander of all the MPs
that's in Baghdad here.

623
00:32:46,431 --> 00:32:48,032
[speaking in Spanish]

624
00:32:48,099 --> 00:32:50,768
-[in English] What's up, all?
-[troops cheering]

625
00:32:50,835 --> 00:32:53,237
I'm more excited about this
than when President Bush came over.

626
00:32:53,304 --> 00:32:54,639
Thanks. And that's no kidding.

Stone Cold!

629
00:33:00,111 --> 00:33:02,547
We'll just get some of these Humvees,
man, cut them down a little,

630
00:33:02,613 --> 00:33:04,115
put some hydraulics in them.

631
00:33:04,182 --> 00:33:05,717
Yeah. All right.

632
00:33:05,783 --> 00:33:08,119
I wanna make a presentation
to Mr. McMahon.

633
00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:10,221
[crowd cheering]

634
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:16,327
On a very serious note, there's 13 MPs
that gave their life for this right here.

635
00:33:16,394 --> 00:33:19,097
So you're staying with a bunch of heroes.
I appreciate it very much.

636
00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:20,798
-Thank you.
-Thank you, it's an honor.

637
00:33:20,865 --> 00:33:22,667

It should be a 30-minute flight.

644
00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:48,526
There's gonna be no moving
in the helicopter unless I say so.

645
00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:49,827
Let's do it.

646
00:33:49,894 --> 00:33:51,796
[funky music playing]

647
00:33:52,530 --> 00:33:54,599
[Conroe] In the unlikely event
that anything will go wrong,

648
00:33:54,665 --> 00:33:56,234
we got survival kits in the back here.

649
00:33:56,300 --> 00:33:59,303
It's got food, water, whatever
you need to survive out here

650
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,205
if you're gonna be out there
for a little while.

651
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:04,275
And we're gonna be manning these weapons.

And in case anything happens to us,

whoever is the closest

all week long with the great Armed Forces.

Everywhere we went,

673
00:35:08,673 --> 00:35:12,777
John Cena had to get into rap-offs
with all the soldiers!

674
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:14,979
Some of the soldiers
were pretty damn good.

675
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:17,982
[Tazz] John Cena was telling me that
he almost lost with those rap-offs too.

676
00:35:18,049 --> 00:35:20,218
[Cole] I think he lost a rap-off
to one of the guys

677
00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:22,286

Massachusetts.

678

[Tazz] John Cena, a young proud
SmackDown star.

John Cena is in his prime.

680
00:35:30,328 --> 00:35:34,432
I mean, John's age, most of these soldiers
in the audience right now

681
00:35:34,499 --> 00:35:37,568
are probably the same age as Cena.
They're probably younger.

Saddam Hussein's mug shot.

They say I can't beat the Big Show.

696

I say go ahead and watch.

I maybe wrestling a giant
but the real big show is in my crotch.

Yo, no doubt.

699
00:36:43,568 --> 00:36:47,572
This match is huge,
but come on, y'all, let's be honest.

700
00:36:47,638 --> 00:36:51,943
I ain't losing to Big Show.
This ain't no pie-eating contest.

701
00:36:54,078 --> 00:36:58,349
And he can't see us, bro.
This game is tight.

Man, you can't see me?

703
00:37:05,456 --> 00:37:08,626
He can't see me? That's right

704
00:37:08,693 --> 00:37:11,195
He can't see me 'cause this game is tight.

705
00:37:11,262 --> 00:37:15,166
Big Show beating me is like
trying to get the French to fight.

707

that no one deserves this night
more than the US Armed Forces,

728
00:38:42,186 --> 00:38:43,654
and I echo that statement.

729
00:38:43,721 --> 00:38:46,157
[Tazz] Oh, I do too. John Cena is correct.

bring it, man.

That it was his greatest experience

from El Paso, Texas

820
00:43:37,247 --> 00:43:39,616
who grew up in the same neighborhood
as Eddie Guerrero.

821
00:43:39,683 --> 00:43:43,988
[Tazz] That's right and Lt. Rios
just found out he's gonna be a daddy,

822
00:43:44,054 --> 00:43:45,756
they're gonna have a baby.

823
00:43:45,823 --> 00:43:47,024
So congratulations.

824
00:43:47,091 --> 00:43:48,525
[crowd chanting]

825
00:43:48,592 --> 00:43:51,595
[Cole] And these troops having fun,
alternating chants

826
00:43:51,662 --> 00:43:55,299
between "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie"
and "Benoit, Benoit, Benoit."

827
00:43:55,366 --> 00:44:00,104
[Tazz] Well, these are two of the greatest
athletes in World Wrestling Entertainment.

828
00:44:00,170 --> 00:44:01,672
[Cole] And, Tazz, with that thought,

829
00:44:01,739 --> 00:44:05,075
the millions of people watching
this at home on Christmas

830
00:44:05,142 --> 00:44:08,479
and also those on the Armed Forces
Network all around the world,

831
00:44:08,545 --> 00:44:12,383
what can they expect out of this matchup
between Guerrero and Benoit?

832
00:44:12,449 --> 00:44:14,518
[Tazz] Well, technique,
technique, technique.

833
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:18,989
Both these men are two… Like I said,
just two phenomenal athletes.

834
00:44:19,056 --> 00:44:21,325
They're gonna go down, in my view,

835
00:44:21,392 --> 00:44:26,397
as two of the greatest WWE Superstars
in the history of our great sport.

836
00:44:26,463 --> 00:44:28,599
[Cole] And onetime great friends,
Benoit and Guerrero.

837
00:44:28,665 --> 00:44:31,835
[Tazz] That's right,
they were inseparable, but right now,

838
00:44:31,902 --> 00:44:35,539
they're going at it right here
in Baghdad on Christmas.

839
00:44:35,606 --> 00:44:39,410
Nice headlock takedown by Eddie Guerrero.

840
00:44:39,476 --> 00:44:42,413
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero going to work
on Chris Benoit, center of the ring.

841
00:44:42,479 --> 00:44:45,282
And what I learned about
Chris Benoit over the past few weeks

842
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:49,687
from all the Superstars here
is that he is a pretty big snorer.

843
00:44:49,753 --> 00:44:52,022
[Tazz] Well, Benoit is…
You know, he's a wolverine.

844
00:44:52,089 --> 00:44:54,525
Wolverines snore, you know? Come on.

845
00:44:54,591 --> 00:44:57,494
[Cole] And look at this now, Chris Benoit.
Backbreaker by Eddie Guerrero.

846
00:44:57,561 --> 00:44:59,730
Hook to the leg, shoulders down.
And a kickout.

847
00:44:59,797 --> 00:45:01,865
[Tazz] Yeah, nice tilt-a-whirl
backbreaker.

848
00:45:01,932 --> 00:45:03,600
[Cole] Again a cover,
and again a kickout.

849
00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:05,736
All the Superstars
and the production folks,

850
00:45:05,803 --> 00:45:07,671
stayed at the Al-Faw Palace,

851
00:45:07,738 --> 00:45:11,642
one of Saddam Hussein's
300 palaces here in Iraq.

852
00:45:11,709 --> 00:45:14,144
[Tazz] And let's get this straight,
you hear the word palace,

853
00:45:14,211 --> 00:45:16,914
you think plush, you think nice,
you think beautiful.

854
00:45:16,980 --> 00:45:19,083
Well, I'll tell you what,
these were not plush.

855
00:45:19,149 --> 00:45:23,087
There was no furniture in these palaces,
no hot water.

856
00:45:23,153 --> 00:45:26,056
I mean, these athletes,
the SmackDown Superstars

857
00:45:26,123 --> 00:45:29,560
along with the production staff
and Vince McMahon

858
00:45:29,626 --> 00:45:31,929
slept on cots in these palaces.

859
00:45:31,995 --> 00:45:35,766
[Cole] Thirty-four people divided
between two rooms

860
00:45:35,833 --> 00:45:37,868
here over the past few days in Baghdad.

861
00:45:37,935 --> 00:45:41,405
As Benoit, really taking it
to Eddie Guerrero here.

862
00:45:41,472 --> 00:45:43,107
[chuckles] Look at Eddie.

863
00:45:43,173 --> 00:45:46,009
[Tazz] You were talking about the living
conditions we had to put up with.

864
00:45:46,076 --> 00:45:48,645
That's nothing compared
to what these troops had to endure.

865
00:45:48,712 --> 00:45:51,882
But not only here in Baghdad,
but in tents in the desert.

866
00:45:51,949 --> 00:45:55,252
[Cole] And, listen,
there are the helicopters again

867
00:45:55,319 --> 00:46:00,591
providing around-the-clock security
here at the Camp Victory Arena.

868
00:46:00,657 --> 00:46:02,192
Again, this is an active war zone.

869
00:46:02,259 --> 00:46:04,962
We showed you the shot of those bunkers
in the entranceway.

870
00:46:05,028 --> 00:46:06,396
Check out Eddie Guerrero.

871
00:46:06,463 --> 00:46:09,199
[Tazz] Well, as far I know, it is
a little nerve-wracking. But Guerrero…

872
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:11,802
[Cole] Think he's putting on
the flak jacket 'cause it's a war zone

873
00:46:11,869 --> 00:46:14,338
or because he's scared
of the chops from Benoit?

874
00:46:14,404 --> 00:46:16,540
[Tazz] Well, probably
a little bit of both.

875
00:46:16,607 --> 00:46:19,009
Referee telling him to take it off,
I don't know why.

876
00:46:19,076 --> 00:46:21,445
-[Cole] Well, it's against the rules.
-[Tazz] What rules?

877
00:46:21,512 --> 00:46:24,214
[Cole] You're right. Maybe the rule book
is thrown out in Baghdad.

878
00:46:24,281 --> 00:46:26,283
[Tazz] What rule book,
there's a rule book?

879
00:46:26,350 --> 00:46:30,921
[Cole] Eddie doesn't want to hear it.
Maybe he doesn't understand Canadian?

880
00:46:30,988 --> 00:46:34,191
[Tazz] Are they saying "hit the ref"?
Maybe the ref is French.

881
00:46:35,192 --> 00:46:39,663
Referee Jim "Pierre" Korderas,
ladies and gentlemen.

882
00:46:39,730 --> 00:46:43,333
[Cole] Referee Jimmy Korderas saying
he's gonna disqualify Eddie Guerrero.

883
00:46:44,401 --> 00:46:47,671
And look at Guerrero, just shoved
the flak jacket into the face of Benoit.

884
00:46:47,738 --> 00:46:50,541
And there's a little bit of that lying
and cheating and stealing

885
00:46:50,607 --> 00:46:52,109
Eddie Guerrero has made a name of.

886
00:46:52,176 --> 00:46:56,446
[Tazz] Well, it's a family tradition.
Chops echoing through the desert here.

887
00:46:56,513 --> 00:46:58,816
-[Cole] I used that already.
-[Tazz] Did you?

888
00:46:58,882 --> 00:47:00,284
-[Cole] Yeah.
-[Tazz] Okay.

889
00:47:00,350 --> 00:47:01,585
[Cole] Listen to it again.

890
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:04,588
[Tazz] I guess your words were
echoing in my head, my ears.

891
00:47:04,655 --> 00:47:07,624
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit
going at it here,

892
00:47:07,691 --> 00:47:09,793
Christmas from Baghdad.

893
00:47:09,860 --> 00:47:12,162
Benoit lands on his feet,
shot to the midsection.

894
00:47:12,229 --> 00:47:14,698
And look at Eddie Guerrero and Benoit,

895
00:47:14,765 --> 00:47:17,467
dumped out right in front
of the bunkers here at ringside.

896
00:47:17,534 --> 00:47:20,837
[Tazz] Yeah, both men over the top rope,
hard landing for Eddie Guerrero.

897
00:47:22,372 --> 00:47:24,942
[Cole] Following in the footsteps
of the Thanksgiving Day visit

898
00:47:25,008 --> 00:47:28,145
by President Bush in the capture of
Saddam Hussein,

899
00:47:28,212 --> 00:47:30,747
the SmackDown Superstars
are here in Baghdad

900
00:47:30,814 --> 00:47:35,552
celebrating Christmas with the Armed
Forces in their own unique way.

901
00:47:35,619 --> 00:47:38,355
Welcome back to Christmas from Baghdad.

902
00:47:38,422 --> 00:47:41,158
Benoit, Guerrero, one-on-one.

903
00:47:42,392 --> 00:47:46,330
[Tazz] And Chris Benoit
is in total control right now

904
00:47:46,396 --> 00:47:47,631
over Eddie Guerrero,

905
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:50,601
bending both those arms
behind Eddie's back.

906
00:47:53,237 --> 00:47:56,440
[Cole] Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero,
longtime friends going at it

907
00:47:56,506 --> 00:47:58,208
here in Baghdad.

908
00:47:58,275 --> 00:48:01,478
This is Camp Victory.
And look at Benoit,

909
00:48:01,545 --> 00:48:04,581
off the top turnbuckle,
Guerrero is in control.

910
00:48:04,648 --> 00:48:08,185
[Tazz] And right now, Eddie Guerrero
is trying to get a victory over Benoit.

911
00:48:08,252 --> 00:48:11,121
Like that segue? That announcer's
segue talk in Baghdad.

912
00:48:11,188 --> 00:48:13,123
[Cole] I like that.
And look at Benoit from behind

913
00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:15,626
shot to the small of the back.
Eddie Guerrero, top rope,

914
00:48:15,692 --> 00:48:18,428
high-rent district here,
high-risk maneuver.

915
00:48:18,495 --> 00:48:19,897
Eddie Guerrero!

916
00:48:19,963 --> 00:48:21,098
Benoit in trouble!

917
00:48:21,164 --> 00:48:25,435
Shoulders down, and Benoit kicks out
before the count of three.

918
00:48:25,502 --> 00:48:29,006
[Tazz] And as you pointed out, both
Guerrero and Benoit are such good friends,

919
00:48:29,072 --> 00:48:33,143
They know each other so well in that ring,
they can counter each other's moves,

920
00:48:33,210 --> 00:48:36,446
but soon as they're wrestling each other,
being up and down the roads together,

921
00:48:36,513 --> 00:48:40,250
I don't think that they never thought
that it would come here to Baghdad

922
00:48:40,317 --> 00:48:42,653
in a war zone in front of our troops.

923
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,123
Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit
going at it.

924
00:48:46,189 --> 00:48:48,625
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero off the suplexes,
spinning the hips,

925
00:48:48,692 --> 00:48:50,694
going for a hat trick here.

926
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:53,964
And Benoit countered,
going for the crossface, has it locked in.

927
00:48:54,031 --> 00:48:55,699
Eddie Guerrero, quickly to his knees.

928
00:48:55,766 --> 00:48:58,502
[Tazz] Oh, Eddie is in trouble,
Eddie knows it. He rolls through,

929
00:48:58,568 --> 00:49:02,172
but Benoit, the pitbull, Chris Benoit.

930
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,341
[Cole] And Eddie Guerrero
wisely gets to the bottom rope

931
00:49:04,408 --> 00:49:06,643
forcing Benoit to break the hold.

932
00:49:06,710 --> 00:49:11,515
Heard the story of Private Cheney,
who over the past three days, Tazz,

933
00:49:11,581 --> 00:49:15,352
hasn't slept, so excited about
the WWE being in here.

934
00:49:15,419 --> 00:49:17,788
What he would do is he would come
help set up for the show,

935
00:49:17,854 --> 00:49:19,423
then he'd go work his normal tour of duty,

936
00:49:19,489 --> 00:49:22,392
come back and help
set up the show some more.

937
00:49:22,459 --> 00:49:25,095
He hasn't slept in three days,
and he's here at the show today.

938
00:49:25,162 --> 00:49:28,865
[Tazz] Well, that's just the great
support that we here in the WWE

939
00:49:28,932 --> 00:49:32,135
have gotten from all these great
troops here,

940
00:49:32,202 --> 00:49:35,105
all these great soldiers,
but they don't realize,

941
00:49:35,172 --> 00:49:40,210
it's full circle for us because
we asked, you know, people at the…

942
00:49:40,277 --> 00:49:41,878
From SmackDown, for the WWE,

943
00:49:41,945 --> 00:49:44,915
the support that we're giving them
and they're giving us.

944
00:49:44,982 --> 00:49:48,151
We love being here.
We love performing in front of these

945
00:49:48,218 --> 00:49:50,320
great, great Americans here.

946
00:49:50,387 --> 00:49:53,156
And we got a hell of a battle
going around in the ring here.

947
00:49:53,223 --> 00:49:55,492
[Cole] Here's the reversal,
Eddie Guerrero, off the rope.

948
00:49:55,559 --> 00:50:00,630
Face-first goes Guerrero,
Benoit quickly in control again.

949
00:50:00,697 --> 00:50:05,969
German suplex. Arms wrapped along the…
around the waist of Eddie Guerrero.

950
00:50:06,036 --> 00:50:08,138
[Tazz] Yeah, Benoit got a lot of height
in that suplex.

951
00:50:08,205 --> 00:50:10,774
Eddie looked like
one of those Black Hawks.

952
00:50:10,841 --> 00:50:13,310
[Cole] And another German suplex.

953
00:50:13,377 --> 00:50:17,314
Again, we are here at Camp Victory
in Baghdad, Iraq,

954
00:50:17,381 --> 00:50:20,283
home of the Combined Joint Task Force 7.

955
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:26,223
[Tazz] And right now,
Eddie's shooting off Chris Benoit,

956
00:50:26,289 --> 00:50:28,125
going for a… he's going for a
tilt-a-whirl but…

957
00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:31,328
[Cole] What strength by Benoit!

958
00:50:31,395 --> 00:50:34,531
-[Tazz] Piledriver tombstone position.
-[Cole] Actually, a shoulder breaker.

959
00:50:34,598 --> 00:50:38,468
-[Tazz] Yep, very good shoulder breaker.
-[crowd cheering]

960
00:50:38,535 --> 00:50:42,672
[Cole] And Benoit is set to fly like
one of those Black Hawk helicopters here.

961
00:50:42,739 --> 00:50:46,309
[Tazz] Yeah, I'm telling you, like a…
Like one of those big old fighter jets.

962
00:50:46,376 --> 00:50:51,148
Benoit, he's going up top
for that flying head butt.

963
00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:52,282
Benoit, top rope--

964
00:50:52,349 --> 00:50:55,385
[Cole] Misses as Eddie Guerrero
just rolls out of the way.

965
00:50:55,452 --> 00:50:58,922
And these two Superstars
know each other so well.

966
00:50:58,989 --> 00:51:03,093
[Tazz] Both athletes are down,
turning point of the matchup.

967
00:51:04,895 --> 00:51:06,463
Referee Jimmy Korderas begins the count.

968
00:51:06,530 --> 00:51:09,066
Eddie Guerrero trying to make it
to his feet quickly here.

969
00:51:09,132 --> 00:51:10,967
[Tazz] You don't really think he's French,
do you?

970
00:51:11,034 --> 00:51:13,203
-[Cole] Jimmy Korderas? He's Canadian.
-[Tazz] Same thing.

971
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:15,038
French-Canadian from Montreal.

972
00:51:15,105 --> 00:51:16,640
Well, Eddie Guerrero now…

973
00:51:16,706 --> 00:51:19,876
Eddie's maybe looking
for that frog splash possibly.

974
00:51:21,344 --> 00:51:24,581
[Cole] The crowd chanting for Eddie
Guerrero. Up to the top rope,

975
00:51:24,648 --> 00:51:28,151
Eddie Guerrero frog splashing.
Benoit rolls out of the way this time.

976
00:51:30,554 --> 00:51:34,024
Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit
leaving it all out, center of the mat

977
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:38,361
for all these great troops here
on Christmas from Baghdad.

978
00:51:39,429 --> 00:51:42,699
[Tazz] Right now, who's gonna
get the upper hand here?

979
00:51:44,234 --> 00:51:48,271
Another German standing switch by
Eddie Guerrero, another switch.

980
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:50,607
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero,
elbow to the side of the head.

981
00:51:50,674 --> 00:51:53,510
Chris Benoit. Look at this.
Reversal by Benoit.

982
00:51:53,577 --> 00:51:55,545
Shot to the midsection.
Eddie Guerrero in trouble.

983
00:51:55,612 --> 00:51:57,614
Chris Benoit lifted
Eddie Guerrero up high.

984
00:51:57,681 --> 00:52:00,250
Rolls through, sunset flip.
Shoulders down.

985
00:52:00,317 --> 00:52:03,653
Eddie using the ropes.
And picks up the win.

986
00:52:06,123 --> 00:52:09,426
[Chimel] Here is your winner,
Eddie Guerrero.

987
00:52:09,493 --> 00:52:13,129
[Tazz] Even in the desert,
the family tradition continues.

988
00:52:13,196 --> 00:52:15,332
The lying, the cheating, the stealing.

989
00:52:15,398 --> 00:52:20,871
Guerrero stealing a victory over Benoit
by using the ropes for leverage.

990
00:52:21,705 --> 00:52:25,242
[Cole] Eddie Guerrero picks up the win.
Chris Benoit says,

991
00:52:25,308 --> 00:52:27,544
"Come on, Eddie. I don't believe
we're through here."

992
00:52:27,611 --> 00:52:29,346
[Tazz] Oh, Benoit was going
for a powerbomb,

993
00:52:29,412 --> 00:52:34,584
and Eddie Guerrero floated over behind him
into a sunset flip roll-through there.

994
00:52:34,651 --> 00:52:36,820
And Eddie's back to that flak jacket.

995
00:52:38,922 --> 00:52:40,924
And he got the helmet and everything.

996
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:42,559
[Cole] Viva la raza.

997
00:52:44,628 --> 00:52:48,532
Eddie's gonna head back into the ring but
he's gonna make sure he has protection.

998
00:52:48,598 --> 00:52:51,735
[Tazz] He's got the helmet, he's got
the flak jacket, the whole deal.

999
00:52:51,801 --> 00:52:53,136
Look at Eddie.

1000
00:52:55,972 --> 00:52:57,641
What's the matter?

1001
00:52:57,707 --> 00:53:00,010
You know, if Benoit hits
one of those German suplexes,

1002
00:53:00,076 --> 00:53:02,512
Eddie will land on that helmet,
it probably wouldn't hurt any.

1003
00:53:04,948 --> 00:53:08,084
[Cole] That flak jacket's got to offer
some protection for his back as well.

1004
00:53:10,453 --> 00:53:13,023
Well, Jimmy Korderas is asking him
if he used the ropes.

1005
00:53:13,089 --> 00:53:14,824
[Tazz] That's enough for him,
the match is over.

1006
00:53:14,891 --> 00:53:16,493
What the hell is the matter with you?

1007
00:53:19,963 --> 00:53:23,099
Come on, ese, we're in Iraq, homes.

1008
00:53:25,535 --> 00:53:27,904
Saying we're in Iraq, let's shake.

1009
00:53:27,971 --> 00:53:29,873
USA!

1010
00:53:29,940 --> 00:53:35,278
[crowd chanting] USA! USA! USA!

1011
00:53:37,314 --> 00:53:40,617
USA! USA! USA!

1012
00:53:40,684 --> 00:53:42,519
[Cole] Eddie wanting to
wave the white flag.

1013
00:53:42,586 --> 00:53:44,654
No hard feelings here.

1014
00:53:49,626 --> 00:53:51,194
-That's cool.
-[Tazz] There you go.

1015
00:53:52,362 --> 00:53:54,798
Great show of sportsmanship.

1016
00:53:54,864 --> 00:53:57,934
[Cole] Well, earlier tonight, Mr. McMahon
came out with a message

1017
00:53:58,001 --> 00:54:00,971
for the troops, didn't realized he was
on somebody's naughty list.

1018
00:54:01,037 --> 00:54:03,573
Even though you men and women
here in Iraq cannot be

1019
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,277
back at home with your loved ones
and your family,

1020
00:54:07,344 --> 00:54:09,546
we've decided here in the WWE

1021
00:54:09,613 --> 00:54:12,782
to bring a little slice of Americana
to you here today.

1022
00:54:15,952 --> 00:54:18,288
Oh, it's Santa Claus.

1023
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:20,290
[Cole] And what a shocker!

1024
00:54:20,357 --> 00:54:23,226
A visit from old St. Nick
for the troops here in Baghdad.

1025
00:54:23,293 --> 00:54:26,329
[Tazz] Why is it a shocker?
It's Christmastime, for God sakes.

1026
00:54:26,396 --> 00:54:28,632
That's when Santa shows up,
Christmastime, Cole.

1027
00:54:28,698 --> 00:54:31,768
[Cole] Yeah, but Santa Claus was actually
in for a shock of his own.

1028
00:54:31,835 --> 00:54:36,906
A belligerent Mr. McMahon mouthing off
and even attacking Santa.

1029
00:54:36,973 --> 00:54:38,441
[Tazz] He's naughty.

1030
00:54:38,508 --> 00:54:41,611
And you know, Santa,
I want an explanation from you.

1031
00:54:41,678 --> 00:54:46,182
I mean, when I was a little kid,
you passed over my house every year.

1032
00:54:46,249 --> 00:54:50,320
You never stopped at my house,
and I really wasn't that bad a kid.

1033
00:54:52,889 --> 00:54:56,993
And I would suggest then you turn your
big fat ass around and get out of my ring.

1034
00:54:57,060 --> 00:54:59,262
[crowd cheering]

1035
00:55:01,431 --> 00:55:04,534
I don't shake Santa's hand. You don't
bring me a gift, I don't shake your hand.

1036
00:55:04,601 --> 00:55:08,138
[crowd booing]

1037
00:55:09,205 --> 00:55:11,107
[crowd cheering]

1038
00:55:14,244 --> 00:55:19,482
You see, that's what happens when you
disrespect Mr. McMahon, all right?

1039
00:55:21,418 --> 00:55:23,219
I'll kick Santa Claus's ass,

1040
00:55:23,286 --> 00:55:27,223
I'll kick your ass, it doesn't
matter whose ass I'm gonna kick.

1041
00:55:27,290 --> 00:55:28,558
I'll tell you that right now.

1042
00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:33,029
Therefore, Santa Claus, as far as I…

1043
00:55:38,568 --> 00:55:42,339
[Cole] But Mr. McMahon would actually
receive some coal in his stocking

1044
00:55:42,405 --> 00:55:45,942
courtesy of Raw's "Stone Cold"
Steve Austin.

1045
00:55:46,576 --> 00:55:49,379
[Tazz] Coal in his stocking?
Of course it wasn't even wrapped.

1046
00:55:50,246 --> 00:55:55,318
Stone Cold coming out here
and Stone Cold fans, that's like

1047
00:55:55,385 --> 00:55:59,456
good old, jolly, fat St. Nick
on Christmas.

1048
00:55:59,522 --> 00:56:01,591
[Cole] "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

1049
00:56:01,658 --> 00:56:04,394
having fun with the troops
here at Baghdad.

1050
00:56:04,461 --> 00:56:07,297
He would even offer up
an old Stone Cold salute

1051
00:56:07,364 --> 00:56:10,400
for the fighting men and women
in the Armed Forces.

1052
00:56:11,534 --> 00:56:14,971
[Tazz] No doubt, US troops
having a great time here.

1053
00:56:15,038 --> 00:56:17,874
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
also having a great time.

1054
00:56:17,941 --> 00:56:20,810
Everyone, except the Chairman of the Board
was having a great time.

1055
00:56:21,711 --> 00:56:24,013
Hi, I'm Sgt. Vasquez from Fort Bragg,
North Carolina.

1056
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,883
I want to shout out to my lovely wife,
Rebecca, and my two knuckleheads,

1057
00:56:26,950 --> 00:56:29,953

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas.

[Cole] Merry Christmas, everyone.
This is Christmas from Baghdad.

1075
00:57:26,276 --> 00:57:30,380
Here at Camp Victory,
and it's been a life-altering experience

1076
00:57:30,446 --> 00:57:33,783
for all the WWE Superstars
who made this trip.

1077
00:57:33,850 --> 00:57:35,251
[rock music playing]

1078
00:57:38,721 --> 00:57:39,856
I feel awesome.

1079
00:57:39,923 --> 00:57:42,225
It is an honor and a pleasure
just to be here,

1080
00:57:42,292 --> 00:57:43,860
just to be with the troops, man.

1081

[speaking in Spanish]

1082
00:57:46,362 --> 00:57:47,597

[crowd cheering]

1084
00:57:51,668 --> 00:57:53,736
They were happy to see us,
and we're happy to be here.

1085
00:57:53,803 --> 00:57:57,006
We're in the entertainment business
and these guys are defending our country.

1086
00:57:57,073 --> 00:57:58,374
So, like I said,

1087
00:57:58,441 --> 00:58:01,277
man, when you go in front of the people
who appreciate what you do, it's fun.

1088
00:58:01,344 --> 00:58:03,813
To be able to come here
and to meet the soldiers

1089
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,382
that are putting their life on the line
to defend our freedom

1090
00:58:06,449 --> 00:58:08,718
and help establish freedom
for the Iraqi citizens,

1091
00:58:08,785 --> 00:58:12,822
it really just shows you
what these people are really about.

1092
00:58:12,889 --> 00:58:14,557
There guys here
live a rough life out here.

1093
00:58:14,624 --> 00:58:18,761
Just to be able to be here
personally to see things that

1094
00:58:18,828 --> 00:58:21,965
you see on the news,
when you finally get here,

1095
00:58:22,031 --> 00:58:26,135
it really gave me a personal feeling like,
"Man, my hat goes off to them."

I'm stompin' in my jumbo boots ♪

But you a prostitute ♪

1098
00:58:34,377 --> 00:58:36,279
Experience in Baghdad has been great.

1099
00:58:36,346 --> 00:58:38,147
The number one thing was
meeting all the soldiers.

1100
00:58:38,214 --> 00:58:40,650
Telling them how thankful we are
for what they're doing over here.

1101
00:58:40,717 --> 00:58:43,453
Big ups on the beatboxing.
Big ups on the rhymes.

1102
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,456
Come out here in Iraq and some of these
people came out here for a few months,

1103
00:58:46,522 --> 00:58:49,325
now they've been for over a year,
so I know they're ready to go home.

1104
00:58:49,392 --> 00:58:51,528
So I feel for them
and we appreciate everything they do.

1105
00:58:51,594 --> 00:58:55,031
They're sacrificing a year or more
away from their family,

1106
00:58:55,098 --> 00:58:56,666
so it's the least we can do.

1107
00:58:56,733 --> 00:58:58,801
[Cena] The popularity
and the reaction has been great.

1108
00:58:58,868 --> 00:59:00,537
That makes our job easier,
but it also makes you

1109
00:59:00,603 --> 00:59:01,871
more thankful at the end of the day.

the hood right here.

back home and everybody.

Hello, Mommy.

1113
00:59:09,412 --> 00:59:11,748
If we can make their day
a little bit easier,

1114
00:59:11,814 --> 00:59:13,249
that's all we got to do.

1115
00:59:14,017 --> 00:59:16,219
You know, Mel Gibson and Sly Stallone,
they don't play us,

1116
00:59:16,286 --> 00:59:19,289
they play these guys 'cause
they're the heroes in our society today.

1117
00:59:19,355 --> 00:59:22,959
And, you know, since 9/11, there hasn't
been a major terror attack on America.

1118
00:59:23,026 --> 00:59:25,695
And the reason of that is 'cause
these guys are doing an unbelievable job.

[country music playing]

1120
00:59:31,434 --> 00:59:33,569
It's been beyond description.

1121
00:59:35,571 --> 00:59:37,106
I've been wrestling for 18 years.

1122
00:59:37,173 --> 00:59:40,076
And it has been, hands down,
the most memorable,

1123
00:59:40,143 --> 00:59:43,713
the most meaningful experience
I've ever had in my career.

1124
00:59:43,780 --> 00:59:46,916
They look at us as stars, but they're
the ones that are the actual stars.

1125
00:59:46,983 --> 00:59:48,718
They're putting their lives on the line.

1126
00:59:48,785 --> 00:59:50,887
We're proud to be here,
they're not going overlooked,

1127
00:59:50,954 --> 00:59:52,655
and I hope they enjoyed everything.

1128
00:59:52,722 --> 00:59:54,724
We just want to let them know
that we love them.

I bust and move every night
for the people out here in Iraq.

Thank you. God bless to everybody
in the Armed Forces, man.

01:00:16,913 --> 01:00:18,381
[Cole] Coming up next!

1139
01:00:18,448 --> 01:00:21,284
-[Tazz] Oh, man.
-[Cole] Santa's Little Helper competition.

1140
01:00:21,351 --> 01:00:25,254
Sable, Torrie, and Dawn Marie.

1141
01:00:25,321 --> 01:00:27,757
Imagine getting that under your
Christmas tree!

1142
01:00:27,824 --> 01:00:29,192
[Tazz] Wow.

1143
01:00:29,258 --> 01:00:32,695
I'm Lt. Mackall from the 64th
Full Support Battalion in 4th ID.

1144
01:00:32,762 --> 01:00:35,598
I wanna say Merry Christmas to my wife
Michelle and my baby Michaela.

1145
01:00:35,665 --> 01:00:37,333
Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

1146
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,068
Happy New Year.

1147
01:00:39,135 --> 01:00:40,803
-Seasons greetings.
-Happy Hanukkah.

1148
01:00:40,870 --> 01:00:43,306
Sgt. Wilson, mope easy. I love you guys.

1149
01:00:43,373 --> 01:00:46,009
Pvt. Weir, Hanukkah, keeping it down.

1150
01:00:46,075 --> 01:00:47,443
Stay safe. Baghdad.

1151
01:00:47,510 --> 01:00:48,845
-Peace.
-Yeah, yeah.

1152
01:00:52,348 --> 01:00:54,784
[man] Basic rule in handling weapons,

1153
01:00:54,851 --> 01:00:56,819
I'm sure a lot of you
folks have handled weapons,

1154
01:00:56,886 --> 01:00:59,489
please keep 'em pointed downrange
where the paper's at

1155
01:00:59,555 --> 01:01:01,424
and not where any live bodies are at.

1156
01:01:01,491 --> 01:01:05,495
If for whatever reason we're out here
and you hear stuff whistling in,

1157
01:01:05,561 --> 01:01:08,898
that doesn't sound like right, just hit
the ground and we'll go from there.

1158
01:01:08,965 --> 01:01:11,167
You did say hit the ground
and not hide behind me.

1159
01:01:11,234 --> 01:01:13,036
[laughter]

1160
01:01:16,839 --> 01:01:20,109
Yeah, this is beautiful, baby!

1161
01:01:20,176 --> 01:01:22,211
[soldier] Hey, it was a pleasure
working with you guys,

1162
01:01:22,278 --> 01:01:23,446
and no matter what anybody says,

1163
01:01:23,513 --> 01:01:25,882
I still think Big Show's
the best right out here.

1164
01:01:27,517 --> 01:01:29,352
He wasn't saying that earlier.

1165
01:01:29,419 --> 01:01:30,987
[laughter]

1166
01:01:32,088 --> 01:01:34,157
[Chimel] All right, ladies and gentlemen,

1167
01:01:34,223 --> 01:01:37,060
it's time for our
Santa's Little Helper contest.

1168
01:01:37,126 --> 01:01:39,696
All of you, our great troops,
are gonna be the judges.

1169
01:01:39,762 --> 01:01:42,932
But first, let's bring out the girls.

1170
01:01:42,999 --> 01:01:46,102
[crowd cheering]

1171
01:01:47,737 --> 01:01:50,006
Our first contestant…

1172
01:01:52,141 --> 01:01:55,611
-Torrie Wilson.
-[crowd cheering]

1173
01:01:55,678 --> 01:01:57,780
[Tazz] I guess Tony Chimel
had to catch his breath…

1174
01:01:57,847 --> 01:01:59,482
But here comes Torrie.

1175
01:01:59,549 --> 01:02:01,918
And you know she's gonna be smoking, Cole.

1176
01:02:01,984 --> 01:02:05,955
[Cole] The Playboy cover girl,
Torrie Wilson.

1177
01:02:06,022 --> 01:02:08,791
-[crowd cheering]
-Oh, my.

1178
01:02:08,858 --> 01:02:10,626
As Torrie makes her way to the ring,

1179
01:02:10,693 --> 01:02:15,498
we'd like to thank the Armed Forces
Entertainment for making this all happen,

1180
01:02:15,565 --> 01:02:17,734
Christmas from Baghdad.

1181
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,336
How great does Torrie look?

1182
01:02:20,403 --> 01:02:24,474
[Tazz] Well, Torrie Wilson
is a Playboy cover girl.

1183
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:30,580
And all these young men here and young
women are getting to witness this.

1184
01:02:30,646 --> 01:02:32,648
A great treat for them and a great…

1185
01:02:32,715 --> 01:02:35,284
great treat--
[indistinct] great treat.

1186
01:02:36,152 --> 01:02:38,387
[Cole] Oh, this is a treat for the troops.

1187
01:02:38,454 --> 01:02:40,823
I'd love to be Santa Claus
about right now.

1188
01:02:40,890 --> 01:02:43,326
[Tazz] That means you'd be
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin,

1189
01:02:43,392 --> 01:02:44,594
he's Santa Claus.

1190
01:02:44,660 --> 01:02:46,896
And that's Torrie,
and she's Santa's Little Helper.

1191
01:02:46,963 --> 01:02:49,732
And she looks phenomenal. Phenomenal.

1192
01:02:49,799 --> 01:02:54,704
[Cole] I don't think that they made elves
like that in the North Pole.

1193
01:02:54,770 --> 01:02:56,939
[Tazz] So what is the story
with this competition, Cole?

1194
01:02:57,006 --> 01:02:59,609
What's the rule?
I know you got the breakdown.

1195
01:02:59,675 --> 01:03:01,010
[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

1196
01:03:01,077 --> 01:03:05,148
[Chimel] Our next contestant, Dawn Marie.

1197
01:03:05,214 --> 01:03:07,150
[Cole] Well, since our
ringing announcer Tony Chimel,

1198
01:03:07,216 --> 01:03:10,186
didn't tell us what the rules are, I guess
we have to figure out as we go along.

1199
01:03:10,253 --> 01:03:12,355
[Tazz] I don't think the rules matter,

1200
01:03:12,421 --> 01:03:15,391
and I don't think the United States
Armed Forces here in full effect

1201
01:03:15,458 --> 01:03:16,893
cares about the rules.

1202
01:03:16,959 --> 01:03:19,662
[Cole] I do wanna talk about
Specialist Donna Renee Moore

1203
01:03:19,729 --> 01:03:21,964
from Jacksonville, Mississippi
for just a moment, though.

1204
01:03:22,031 --> 01:03:25,334
You know, her time in the Army
was over, Tazz, she went home.

1205
01:03:25,401 --> 01:03:29,372
She decided to come back,
but she would only be reenlisted

1206
01:03:29,438 --> 01:03:33,476
when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
was here for the entire ceremony.

1207
01:03:33,543 --> 01:03:34,944
How great is that!

1208
01:03:35,011 --> 01:03:36,812
[Tazz] That's phenomenal, man,
that's awesome.

1209
01:03:36,879 --> 01:03:38,080
Wow. That's big.

1210
01:03:38,147 --> 01:03:41,651
[Cole] Danna Renee Moore is stationed
at Camp Anaconda.

1211
01:03:41,717 --> 01:03:43,686
[Tazz] Anaconda. All right.

1212
01:03:43,753 --> 01:03:46,722
-Well, there's Dawn Marie.
-[crowd cheering]

1213
01:03:47,456 --> 01:03:50,059
Well, that's the second…
Let's go to Tony Chimel.

1214
01:03:50,126 --> 01:03:53,763
[Cole] I'd like to be Crocodile Hunter
and Dawn Marie be the crocodile.

1215
01:03:53,830 --> 01:03:56,098
[Tazz] Tony Chimel's frozen stiff.

1216
01:03:56,165 --> 01:03:58,434
[crowd cheering]

1217
01:03:58,501 --> 01:04:00,002
[Cole] Look at Dawn.

1218
01:04:00,069 --> 01:04:02,638
[Tazz] Well, yeah, yeah,
look at Dawn, look at Torrie.

1219
01:04:02,705 --> 01:04:04,907
You can't see her right now
but you looked at her before.

1220
01:04:04,974 --> 01:04:06,776
[crowd cheering]

1221
01:04:06,843 --> 01:04:09,946
[Chimel] And our third participant, Sable.

1222
01:04:10,012 --> 01:04:11,981
[Cole] You know Mr. McMahon's
sitting in the back

1223
01:04:12,048 --> 01:04:14,250
watching Sable make her way to the ring.

1224
01:04:14,317 --> 01:04:16,719
[Tazz] Mr. McMahon's probably got
some ice on his neck,

1225
01:04:16,786 --> 01:04:19,388
and he might wanna move that ice bag.
Look at Sable!

1226
01:04:19,455 --> 01:04:22,391
[Cole] You know, all these troops
in the audience here are off-duty.

1227
01:04:22,458 --> 01:04:26,028
But we've been told, Tazz,
that troops are coming in and out

1228
01:04:26,095 --> 01:04:28,464
whenever they get their ten-minute breaks.

1229
01:04:28,531 --> 01:04:30,600
So the troops are actually
on-duty now and when they

1230
01:04:30,666 --> 01:04:33,302
get a 10-minute break, they're running
over to the Camp Victory Arena

1231
01:04:33,369 --> 01:04:34,604
to check this out.

1232
01:04:34,670 --> 01:04:37,406
I hope they're getting a chance to
check out Sable, Dawn Marie, and Torrie

1233
01:04:37,473 --> 01:04:40,309
in Santa's Little Helper competition.

1234
01:04:40,376 --> 01:04:43,412
[Tazz] Well, I'm sure
all of these military men's

1235
01:04:43,479 --> 01:04:46,983
scopes on their M16s

1236
01:04:47,049 --> 01:04:50,353
are directed towards the squared circle
as they call it.

1237
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,992
Well, not for nothing, I mean,
Torrie, Dawn Marie, Sable, beautiful.

1238
01:04:56,058 --> 01:04:59,662
All outstanding beautiful
WWE SmackDown Divas.

1239
01:04:59,729 --> 01:05:01,230
But they get an opportunity

1240
01:05:01,297 --> 01:05:04,567
and a privilege to entertain
all our US troops?

1241
01:05:05,668 --> 01:05:08,137
And it's just phenomenal. Right now,
they're just having a great time.

1242
01:05:08,204 --> 01:05:11,941
It's Christmas in Baghdad.
And that's what should be going on.

1243
01:05:12,008 --> 01:05:13,442
And we're having a good time.

1244
01:05:13,509 --> 01:05:17,413
Chimel's still standing in the same spot.
By the way, he just moved.

1245
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,149
[Cole] Well, Chimel can…
Chimel can use the sun.

1246
01:05:20,216 --> 01:05:23,286
[Tazz] Sun? Hey, I don't want…
I don't want to talk about Chimel, Cole.

1247
01:05:23,352 --> 01:05:25,054
We got Sable in there waving.

1248
01:05:25,121 --> 01:05:28,257
Nice garland by the way.
That's the silver stuff around her neck.

1249
01:05:28,324 --> 01:05:32,428
[Cole] So whose boots do you like?
I like the white stocking on Sable.

1250
01:05:32,495 --> 01:05:34,597
-[Tazz] Right.
-[Cole] The black boots on Dawn Marie.

1251
01:05:34,664 --> 01:05:36,599
And the black boots on Torrie.

1252
01:05:36,666 --> 01:05:38,901
All right, troops, this is how
it's gonna work.

1253
01:05:38,968 --> 01:05:43,105
One by one, each of Santa's Little Helpers
are gonna dance for you.

1254
01:05:43,172 --> 01:05:47,276
When they're done,
we're gonna ask for your applause.

1255
01:05:47,343 --> 01:05:52,014
Whoever receives the most applause
will be our winner.

1256
01:05:52,081 --> 01:05:56,852
-All right. Up first, Sable.
-[crowd cheering]

1257
01:05:56,919 --> 01:05:59,288
[Tazz] Let's see. So, here are the rules,
right, Cole?

1258
01:05:59,355 --> 01:06:01,957
-[upbeat music playing]
-Right, Cole?

1259
01:06:02,892 --> 01:06:05,528
You're just staring
with your tongue hanging out?

1260
01:06:05,594 --> 01:06:07,363
[Cole] I'm sorry. Wow!

1261
01:06:07,430 --> 01:06:10,566
[Tazz] She's got to impress the crowd.
I think she might have won already.

1262
01:06:12,335 --> 01:06:16,205
I don't know about Sable's little…
I've seen elves and stuff,

1263
01:06:16,272 --> 01:06:18,507
and I never saw them
doing anything like this.

1264
01:06:18,574 --> 01:06:20,843
[Cole] She may be Santa's Little Helper…

1265
01:06:20,910 --> 01:06:23,479
I think she's really
Mr. McMahon's little helper.

1266
01:06:23,546 --> 01:06:24,747
[Tazz] No kidding.

1267
01:06:24,814 --> 01:06:28,551
Some of these men, ladies and gentlemen,
have not been home in many months.

1268
01:06:28,617 --> 01:06:31,153
-So, uh…
-[Cole] Point well taken.

1269
01:06:31,220 --> 01:06:36,559
[Tazz] Check!
Another Playboy cover girl, Sable.

1270
01:06:36,625 --> 01:06:39,195
How many times you think
the troops overseas

1271
01:06:39,261 --> 01:06:44,567
have been entertained by two Playboy
cover girls at the same time?

1272
01:06:44,633 --> 01:06:49,405
[Tazz] That's a good question, Cole.
But Sable is just lighting it up here.

1273
01:06:50,473 --> 01:06:53,743
Our military… Well, they're going
off the charts here.

1274
01:06:53,809 --> 01:06:56,579
Our next contestant, Dawn Marie.

1275
01:06:56,645 --> 01:06:58,280
[Tazz] All right. Dawn Marie is up.

1276
01:07:00,249 --> 01:07:01,784
[Cole] Well, if you like brunettes.

1277
01:07:04,553 --> 01:07:08,357
[Tazz] Yeah, I like brunettes.
My wife is a brunette, what about it?

1278
01:07:10,192 --> 01:07:12,328
-[Cole] Wow.
-[Tazz] Yeah, yeah. Well…

1279
01:07:12,395 --> 01:07:14,397
-What the…
-[crowd cheering]

1280
01:07:14,463 --> 01:07:16,499
Well, who would you
put in the lead right now?

1281
01:07:17,366 --> 01:07:19,168
[Cole] Well, how about all three of them?

1282
01:07:20,469 --> 01:07:22,571
[Tazz] Really, you think
all three of them?

1283
01:07:22,638 --> 01:07:25,107
Oh, okay, I'm down with that.
That's a good idea.

1284
01:07:25,174 --> 01:07:27,209
[crowd cheering]

1285
01:07:30,913 --> 01:07:33,749
Sometimes actions speak
louder than words, Cole. And, uh…

1286
01:07:35,751 --> 01:07:39,655
[Cole] Our Armed Forces let their actions
speak louder than words.

1287
01:07:39,722 --> 01:07:42,124
That's what Dawn Marie
is doing right here.

1288
01:07:43,058 --> 01:07:45,227
[Tazz] God bless America, my friend.

1289
01:07:47,763 --> 01:07:49,432
Look at Tony Chimel.

1290
01:07:52,401 --> 01:07:56,605
[Cole] ♪ Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping down the bunny trail ♪

1291
01:07:56,672 --> 01:07:59,508
[Tazz] Cole, it's not Easter,
it's Christmas, you goof.

1292
01:07:59,575 --> 01:08:03,345
And our third contestant, Torrie Wilson.

1293
01:08:03,412 --> 01:08:07,249
[crowd cheering]

1294
01:08:07,316 --> 01:08:11,153
-[Tazz] Here's Torrie, same song. Anyway…
-[Cole] Look at Torrie.

1295
01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:15,424
-[Tazz] Look at Sable.
-[Cole] Look at Dawn Marie.

1296
01:08:16,859 --> 01:08:19,161
[Tazz] Look at Torrie.

1297
01:08:19,228 --> 01:08:20,696
Come on!

1298
01:08:20,763 --> 01:08:23,532
-[Cole] Look at Chimel.
-[Tazz] What are you, nuts?

1299
01:08:23,599 --> 01:08:26,068
Who's your big daddy? [laughs]

1300
01:08:31,107 --> 01:08:33,576
-[Cole] Oh, my.
-[Tazz] Are you gonna say anything, Cole?

1301
01:08:33,642 --> 01:08:35,811
[Cole] Not at all.

1302
01:08:35,878 --> 01:08:39,181
Talk about your
Operation Desert Shield.

1303
01:08:42,084 --> 01:08:44,920
[Tazz] Well, I think the cannons
are pointing towards the ring,

1304
01:08:44,987 --> 01:08:46,155
ladies and gentlemen.

1305
01:08:50,426 --> 01:08:53,295
All right, troops, it's time for
all of you to be our judges.

1306
01:08:53,362 --> 01:08:56,165
Remember, whoever receives
the most applause

1307
01:08:56,232 --> 01:08:58,234
will be declared the winner.

1308
01:08:58,300 --> 01:09:01,170
Let's hear it first for Sable.

1309

[crowd cheering]

1310
01:09:04,406 --> 01:09:08,944
[Tazz] Is that a response, people?
It's Mr. McMahon's little helper.

1311
01:09:09,011 --> 01:09:11,780
Up next was Dawn Marie.

1312
01:09:11,847 --> 01:09:14,550
[loud crowd cheering]

1313
01:09:18,687 --> 01:09:21,624
And finally, Torrie Wilson.

1314

[cheering, whistling]

1315
01:09:26,629 --> 01:09:28,497
[Cole] What do you think?

1316
01:09:28,564 --> 01:09:33,102
I think you made it clear,
our winner is Torrie Wilson.

1317
01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:35,271
-[crowd cheering]
-[Tazz] There you go.

1318
01:09:35,337 --> 01:09:40,142
[Cole] Torrie Wilson wins the first ever
Santa's Little Helper competition.

1319
01:09:40,209 --> 01:09:42,411
-And look at this.
-[Tazz] Whoa.

1320
01:09:42,478 --> 01:09:46,649
[Cole] Sable and Dawn Marie,
obviously not good… not good losers.

1321
01:09:46,715 --> 01:09:49,985
[Tazz] A little holiday hi-jinx here
with the hotties.

1322
01:09:50,052 --> 01:09:54,256
-[Cole] And Torrie.
-[Tazz] Whoa! Oh, what the… Wow.

1323
01:09:54,323 --> 01:09:56,158
Torrie with those big combat boots.

1324
01:09:57,059 --> 01:09:59,495
-[Cole] And look at this!
-[Tazz] What the…

1325
01:10:01,397 --> 01:10:04,900
-[Cole] Torrie, did she just take the…
-[Tazz] Yes, she did.

1326
01:10:07,403 --> 01:10:09,605
[Cole] Torrie Wilson getting some revenge.

1327
01:10:09,672 --> 01:10:15,878
Santa's Little Helper with a present
for all the troops here at Camp Victory.

1328
01:10:15,945 --> 01:10:17,379
[Tazz] Ho-ho-ho.

1329

[funky music playing]

1330
01:10:19,815 --> 01:10:22,618
[Cole] I didn't think the desert
could get any hotter.

1331
01:10:25,054 --> 01:10:26,689
[Tazz] Well, Torrie Wilson's the winner.

1332
01:10:26,755 --> 01:10:30,759
And Torrie, Dawn Marie, and Sable
entertaining these troops.

1333
01:10:30,826 --> 01:10:32,294
The troops were impressed

1334
01:10:32,361 --> 01:10:34,997
and I'm telling you,
I think our lovely young ladies

1335
01:10:35,064 --> 01:10:37,032
are just as impressed with the troops.

1336
01:10:37,099 --> 01:10:40,536
And they should be.
This was great, it was a lot of fun.

1337
01:10:40,603 --> 01:10:43,906
Santa's Little Helper winner,
there it is, Torrie Wilson, Cole.

1338
01:10:43,973 --> 01:10:46,442
[Cole] Well, we'd like to thank
the 1st Armored Division

1339
01:10:46,508 --> 01:10:48,544
who protected our perimeter.

1340
01:10:48,611 --> 01:10:51,847
[Tazz] And the 10th Mountain Division,
our personal escorts

1341
01:10:51,914 --> 01:10:55,751
when the WWE entered Baghdad
earlier this week.

1342
01:10:59,321 --> 01:11:02,291
My name is Mike Hester.
I'm with Task Force 77.

1343
01:11:02,358 --> 01:11:05,995
We'll be going towards downtown Baghdad
in the area known as the Green Zone.

1344
01:11:06,061 --> 01:11:07,997
A lot of things have been
happening down there lately,

1345
01:11:08,063 --> 01:11:09,965
we don't expect anything
to be happening today.

1346
01:11:10,032 --> 01:11:12,601
We're gonna be leaving Victory Base,
going straight to the 28th

1347
01:11:12,668 --> 01:11:15,237
Combat Support Hospital, we call it CSH.

1348
01:11:15,304 --> 01:11:17,072
They've seen a lot of trauma.

1349
01:11:17,139 --> 01:11:20,075
-The MPs from the 168th MP Battalion.
-[Hester and troops] Hooah!

1350
01:11:20,142 --> 01:11:22,344
They're gonna be here,
they will be in the gun trucks.

1351
01:11:22,411 --> 01:11:24,179
They will be leading you everywhere.

1352
01:11:24,246 --> 01:11:26,115
With that said,
we're gonna unload the buses,

1353
01:11:26,181 --> 01:11:28,317
and then we're gonna head down
to the 28th Hospital.

1354
01:11:28,384 --> 01:11:30,819
If for whatever reason we take fire,
if something happens,

1355
01:11:30,886 --> 01:11:32,921
we're still mobile,
we're gonna push through.

1356
01:11:32,988 --> 01:11:36,458
Wear your helmets, wear your body armor,
it will save your life.

[dramatic music playing]

1358
01:11:41,030 --> 01:11:43,999
Through all this that's going on,
they still got heart.

1359
01:11:44,066 --> 01:11:47,169
And you can see it in their face,
and for me to be able to see that,

1360
01:11:47,236 --> 01:11:49,438
that's all I need,
that's a wonderful feeling.

1361
01:11:49,505 --> 01:11:50,939
-Get well, man.
-Yeah, I will.

1362
01:11:51,006 --> 01:11:54,009
I got to be back out there.
I got soldiers to take care of.

1363
01:11:54,076 --> 01:11:57,146
-I appreciate what you guys do.
-Thank you.

1364
01:11:57,212 --> 01:11:59,415
[Cena] Their work is not going undone.

1365
01:11:59,481 --> 01:12:01,283
We really appreciate
what they're doing here,

1366
01:12:01,350 --> 01:12:03,986
-that's the most important thing.
-[all] Merry Christmas.

1367
01:12:06,021 --> 01:12:08,390
The last few days have been
remarkable.

1368
01:12:09,391 --> 01:12:12,661
I mean, I have never seen these
troops this motivated.

1369
01:12:12,728 --> 01:12:14,763
This was the best of my entire career.

1370
01:12:14,830 --> 01:12:17,700
WWE put on a major performance
for all the troops,

1371
01:12:17,766 --> 01:12:19,468
and that's why on this tour,

1372
01:12:19,535 --> 01:12:23,105
they reached many, many more
than anyone has ever met before.

1373
01:12:23,172 --> 01:12:26,008
This was really unique
and the first of its kind.

1374
01:12:27,343 --> 01:12:32,481
Commanders and senior NCOs said they've
never seen bigger smiles on the troops.

1375
01:12:32,548 --> 01:12:35,451
The troops said even though
they're gonna be away for Christmas,

1376
01:12:35,517 --> 01:12:38,487
this is gonna give them
the comfort that they need.

1377
01:12:40,589 --> 01:12:43,292
In my 43 years, this is the best
tour I've ever seen.

Well, Big Show actually
tried to sleep on a cot,

put a makeshift bed together.

sit in one of those Black Hawks,

[Tazz] You know, Cole, nothing on these
roads is run over by our troops.

they place mortars or bombs

but this is the best Christmas present
ever given to us soldiers."

01:16:49,705 --> 01:16:52,608
all wanted to be a part of
Christmas from Baghdad.

1455
01:16:52,674 --> 01:16:56,878
[Tazz] And I'm sure Raw,
Raw is probably envying us, Cole.

1456
01:16:56,945 --> 01:16:59,548
Well, you don't think JR and King,
they'd love to be sitting here

1457
01:16:59,615 --> 01:17:01,550
watching this right now,
but SmackDown is doing it.

1458
01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:03,018
[Cole] And speaking of JR,

1459
01:17:03,085 --> 01:17:07,055
one of his Oklahoma homies was a driver
for the WWE this week,

1460
01:17:07,122 --> 01:17:10,392
Sergeant James Robert Duke
from Milburn, Oklahoma.

1461
01:17:10,459 --> 01:17:14,429
He's been in Iraq since March,
wasn't there for the birth of his baby,

1462
01:17:14,496 --> 01:17:16,365
but he's heading home in February.

1463
01:17:16,431 --> 01:17:19,134
He's gonna see his baby Harley
for the very first time.

1464
01:17:19,201 --> 01:17:23,038
[Tazz] Oh, that's great, that's good news,
and that's great stuff.

1465
01:17:23,872 --> 01:17:27,175
[Cole] And Big Show really giving it
for referee Brian Hebner,

1466
01:17:27,242 --> 01:17:29,244
and the troops all over the Big Show here.

1467
01:17:30,679 --> 01:17:34,149
[Tazz] Big Show again,
just dominating John Cena.

1468
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:37,185
Now going for that abdominal stretch.
You got to wonder, it's Christmas now,

1469
01:17:37,252 --> 01:17:42,691
and one of the big moves that the Big Show
has in his arsenal is the Hog Lock.

1470
01:17:42,758 --> 01:17:44,960
I wonder if he's gonna
rename it the Yule Log.

1471
01:17:45,027 --> 01:17:48,263
-[Cole laughs] That's pretty good.
-[Tazz] That was a nice phony laugh.

1472
01:17:48,330 --> 01:17:50,832
[Cole] That's why you're the best
color commentator in the business.

1473
01:17:50,899 --> 01:17:53,301
[Tazz] You're damn skippy,
and I'm in the desert with you nits.

1474
01:17:53,368 --> 01:17:57,039
And right now, this abdominal stretch
is on John Cena.

1475
01:17:57,806 --> 01:18:00,842
[Cole] Big Show. Oh, and a rake
to the eyes by John Cena.

1476
01:18:00,909 --> 01:18:04,246
And the Doctor of Thugonomics

1477
01:18:04,312 --> 01:18:07,516
receiving a headbutt
courtesy of the Big Show.

1478
01:18:07,582 --> 01:18:08,850
[Tazz] Oh, man!

1479
01:18:08,917 --> 01:18:11,853
[Cole] With a big boot inadvertently
to the referee.

1480
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,557
[Tazz] Yeah, these soldiers, they love it,
they love seeing the ref getting dropped.

1481
01:18:15,624 --> 01:18:18,727
They love to seeing authority figures
getting hurt, I like that.

1482
01:18:18,794 --> 01:18:21,930
[Cole] And Big Show is in control of
John Cena.

1483
01:18:21,997 --> 01:18:25,133
But referee Brian Hebner
has been knocked down.

1484
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:29,404
[Tazz] Well, Hebner got dropped
of that big boot by the Big Show.

1485
01:18:29,471 --> 01:18:32,307
And now, that chain from John Cena's…
It's John Cena's…

1486
01:18:32,374 --> 01:18:34,409
[crowd clamoring]

1487
01:18:34,476 --> 01:18:37,345
That's John Cena's chain,
the referee don't see it.

1488
01:18:37,412 --> 01:18:39,948
[Cole] Wrapped around the fist
of the Big Show.

1489
01:18:40,015 --> 01:18:43,685
John Cena to his feet,
Big Show fist full of chain,

1490
01:18:43,752 --> 01:18:46,021
misses, John Cena with a low blow.

1491
01:18:46,688 --> 01:18:50,859
Chain in hand of his own.
Off the skull of the Big Show.

1492
01:18:51,793 --> 01:18:53,595
[Tazz] Well, turnabout is fair play.

1493
01:18:53,662 --> 01:18:58,200
Referee is down, Cena just used that chain
and knocked out the Big Show.

1494
01:18:58,266 --> 01:19:00,702
[Cole] John Cena into the cover,
shoulders down.

1495
01:19:00,769 --> 01:19:02,604
There's two, Big Show kicks out.

1496
01:19:02,671 --> 01:19:03,939
[Tazz] Wow.

1497
01:19:05,407 --> 01:19:08,143
Big toughness there by the Big Show.

1498
01:19:08,210 --> 01:19:13,548
[Cole] Showing toughness that the US
Armed Forces show every day of their life.

1499
01:19:13,615 --> 01:19:16,084
[Tazz] No doubt. Uh-oh! Goozled now.

1500
01:19:16,151 --> 01:19:18,987
[Cole] John Cena,
Big Show went for the chokeslam,

1501
01:19:19,054 --> 01:19:21,323
John Cena, kick to the midsection.
Check this out!

1502
01:19:21,389 --> 01:19:23,592
-Five hundred pounds!
-[Tazz] F-U!

1503
01:19:23,658 --> 01:19:25,794
[Cole] F-U to the Big Show!

1504
01:19:25,861 --> 01:19:27,829
Cover, hook of the leg…

1505
01:19:27,896 --> 01:19:28,764
Got him!

1506
01:19:28,830 --> 01:19:31,399
-[bell rings]
-John Cena wins!

1507
01:19:31,466 --> 01:19:33,235
["Basic Thugonomics" playing]

1508
01:19:33,301 --> 01:19:37,472
[Chimel] Here is your winner, John Cena.

1509
01:19:37,539 --> 01:19:41,743
[Tazz] Big victory right there
for John Cena over the Big Show

1510
01:19:41,810 --> 01:19:44,746
here in Baghdad with that big F-U.

1511
01:19:44,813 --> 01:19:48,984
But before that, the chain hit to the head
that had to weaken up the Big Show.

1512
01:19:49,050 --> 01:19:53,155
[Cole] Just like the US troops laid
the smackdown on Saddam Hussein,

1513
01:19:53,221 --> 01:19:56,358
Cena laid the smackdown to the Big Show.

1514
01:19:56,424 --> 01:19:59,361
But here comes Stone Cold!

1515
01:20:01,129 --> 01:20:03,965
[Tazz] Well, we saw "Stone Cold"
Steve Austin earlier

1516
01:20:04,032 --> 01:20:07,335
playing Santa Claus, stunning Mr. McMahon.

1517
01:20:07,402 --> 01:20:09,771
What the hell's The Rattlesnake
doing out here now?

1518
01:20:09,838 --> 01:20:11,540
[Cole] What's Austin want?

1519
01:20:15,043 --> 01:20:19,047
[Cole] Back on Christmas from Baghdad,
and this is a peculiar situation.

1520
01:20:19,114 --> 01:20:22,117
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
face to face with John Cena.

1521
01:20:22,184 --> 01:20:26,087
-[Tazz] What's gonna happen here?
-[Cole] You can't see me, Cena--

1522
01:20:26,154 --> 01:20:28,757
Wait a minute! Stunner!

1523
01:20:28,824 --> 01:20:31,660
A Stunner to John Cena!

1524
01:20:31,726 --> 01:20:34,196
[Tazz] John Cena getting nailed there
by The Rattlesnake,

1525
01:20:34,262 --> 01:20:38,567
and now the Big Show doesn't even realize
who's behind him.

1526
01:20:40,302 --> 01:20:42,704
-Oh, no.
-[Cole] Big Show has no clue.

1527
01:20:42,771 --> 01:20:44,539
Stunner again!

1528
01:20:47,876 --> 01:20:52,080
-And a second one!
-[Tazz] Big Show is down and out.

1529
01:20:52,147 --> 01:20:57,285
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin
has struck again right here,

1530
01:20:58,086 --> 01:21:00,121
right here in Baghdad.

1531
01:21:00,188 --> 01:21:04,893
[Cole] The Texas Rattlesnake
making his presence felt.

1532
01:21:05,694 --> 01:21:07,996
Christmas from Baghdad.

1533
01:21:08,063 --> 01:21:09,965
["I Won't Do What You Tell Me" playing]

1534

one more time.

[festive music playing]

1539
01:21:32,387 --> 01:21:35,957
Here they come. Come on down, girls,
Santa needs a little help down here.

1540
01:21:40,362 --> 01:21:42,364
[Cole] This is what I'm talking about.

1541
01:21:42,430 --> 01:21:45,200
[Tazz] I'm telling you, Merry Christmas.

1542
01:21:45,267 --> 01:21:48,203
[Austin] If you think Santa's Helpers
look like a million bucks,

1543
01:21:48,270 --> 01:21:51,139
-give me a "Hell yeah!"
-[crowd] Hell yeah!

1544

-[Cole] Hell yeah!
-Bring all the damn WWE Superstars down.

Come on in, ladies.

out here in this ring.

[Cole] Chris Benoit and Rhyno.

Eddie Guerrero,
the World's Greatest Tag Team.

1549
01:22:19,534 --> 01:22:22,337
All the Superstars making
their way down to the ring,

1550
01:22:22,404 --> 01:22:25,307
Rikishi, Bradshaw, Faarooq.

1551

[Cole] Mr. McMahon.

01:22:32,347 --> 01:22:36,551
What a privilege it's been
for all these Superstars.

1554

I want everybody in this damn ring.

1555

Ron Simmons bringing up the rear.
Come on, Faarooq.

01:23:00,308 --> 01:23:02,911
He'll be all right.
He just had a laxative.

Ladies and gentlemen,
he's not my favorite person in the world,

1558
01:23:13,421 --> 01:23:16,224
but the guy who helped to make
all this possible,

1559
01:23:17,058 --> 01:23:19,494
Mr. Vince McMahon.

Go ahead, go and step through the ropes,

bring your little ragged
carcass to the ring,

1563

I ain't gonna stun you.

1564
01:23:31,106 --> 01:23:32,440
I promise.

1565
01:23:33,541 --> 01:23:35,944
You know, I give my promises
out all right.

1566
01:23:37,112 --> 01:23:41,016
I just thought we'd come out here
and salute all the troops.

1567
01:23:46,087 --> 01:23:50,058
Whoa! Get your damn hands off him.

1568
01:23:50,125 --> 01:23:53,261
You're starting to make me wonder
if you're a little, you know, funny.

1570
01:23:55,663 --> 01:23:59,034
Well, anyway, what I was gonna end up
saying was I just…

1571
01:24:00,068 --> 01:24:02,637
-[Cole] Stunner!
-[Tazz] Oh, man.

1572
01:24:02,704 --> 01:24:07,308

thank you very much

for everything that you men and women
do for us.

We love you to the death
and that's the bottom line

1575
01:24:15,617 --> 01:24:18,720
because Stone Cold said so.

-[crowd cheering]
-["Glass Shatters" playing]

honored to be here,

1580

and to bring these troops
a slice of Americana.

We hope we provided a distraction
from their dangerous world

1582
01:24:36,905 --> 01:24:38,406
and brought color to this theater.

be a part of all of this.
