Tribute to the Troops Spoilers

[victor]

This airs on NBC on the 22nd I think.

 

* The Usos defeated Stardust and Goldust.

 

* There was a segment with John Cena and Hulk Hogan honoring the troops. They also had words in the ring with Damien Sandow and The Miz.

 

* Naomi won a Santa’s Little Helpers Match for her team. It was Naomi, Emma and Natalya vs. The Bella Twins and Paige.

 

* Jack Swagger came out for a segment for the Troops. Rusev and Lana may have interrupted, we’re waiting on confirmation.

 

* Dean Ambrose defeated Bray Wyatt in a No DQ Bootcamp Match. They brawled and Ambrose destroyed Wyatt with weapons.

 

* Ryback, Erick Rowan, Dolph Ziggler and John Cena vs. Big Show, Luke Harper, Kane and Seth Rollins is the main event. The babyfaces get the win and the match ends with Hogan, Ryback, Rowan, Ziggler and Cena standing tall in the ring with an American flag.

 

* Florida Georgia Line wraps up the TTTT with a big performance on the stage.

I'll watch for the last 2 matches.

I'm glad to see Cesaro finally stepped up and grabbed that brass ring.

[ebbie]

Are 'brass ring' comments the new 'best for business' comments?

I hope not. Neither shit is funny.

Who would've ever pictured Eric Rowan getting an end of show celebration with Hogan and Cena?

Brass rings are best for business.

[Overly Critical Man]

Cesaro's character is fundamentally flawed as he can't hate America nor can he love it due to being a neutral Swiss. Thus him being unable to tribute the troops totally falls in line with his gimmick and there are no brass rings to be grabbed here.

[Patrick B.]

He WAS a "Real American" at one point.

 

Did I miss something, by the way?  I don't see Cesaro's name on that taping report at all...or is it his absence from the show that was the point of the earlier comment?

[Big Fresh]

I think he meant to post in the Smackdown thread.

[JonnyLaw]

It was meant to be a joke about the fact he wasn't on Raw or on the spoilers for Smackdown or this show, but I apparently overlooked the fact he and Kidd face the Usos on Smackdown.

[Curt McGirt]

Cool, us without the Network may be missing the TLC match but at least we get that Bootcamp match. 

[nate]

Fitting that Cena and Hogan would have words with Mizdow and Miz. One cosplaying couple to another, you think they'd be best pals.

[Patrick B.]

I'd always been at a loss to explain what I think WWE's "target audience" is.

 

After seeing the Kardashians appear on this show, I found my answer.

[Casey]

Well, that Daniel Bryan bit certainly surprised me. Wasn't in any of the spoilers I saw.

[Curt McGirt]

GODDAMMIT I MISSED THE MATCH

[Zac_Fu]

So when did Pitbull become the drummer for a country band?

[NikoBaltimore]

Maybe I'm a bit of a softy this time of year, but I liked the show.  It's pretty cool that they still want to do this, even though there's no big war going on.  It's a pretty nice tribute.

 

It is weird seeing essentially a regular WWE show for this special, can't get used to that compared to past years.  But it's still fun.  Really liked the Bryan segment, really cool they involved a few troops in it (and they were real too, not some indy guys)  Nice touch throwing Rusev to get that patriotic heat.  The matches might not have been much, but it seemed to work for the troops so who am I to judge?  As for actual matches, the tag matches and the boot camp matches were good.  I was amused by Paige being wacky.

 

And I could go for a gif of Cena clapping at Mizdow throwing himself out.  His face just made it.

[Hail Sabin]

I can't believe Rosa eliminated Emma in the divas battle royal. The Boot Camp match made me what to see if the Pat Patterson vs. Sgt. Slaughter Boot Camp match from MSG is on the network somewhere.

[SLKerAaron]

He actually had a Boot Camp Match with Sheiky. What you're referring to is the Alley Fight with Patterson. Neither of which are on the Network right now.

[NikoBaltimore]

And that's a damn shame they're not on there.  I just loved that Alley Fight.

[Curt McGirt]

Two of the best of all classic WWE matches aren't on their own network. How very TNA of them...

My bad I just remember the finish with Patterson hitting Slaughter with the steel toe boot over and over again needs to be on the network ASAP.

[Curt McGirt]

Apparently Vince's current aversion to blood extends to the Network (sarcasm, people; I'm sure every PPV match with blood is there)

 

So how was this Bootcamp Match, anyways? Better/worse than the TLC match?

[Hail Sabin]

Like a tamer trial run/warm up for TLC. Good match but the TLC match was better except the finish in the Boot Camp match was much better.

[offspring515]

I enjoyed the bootcamp match more but I had much lower expectations.
