Guest hunger4unger Report post Posted December 6, 2003 411 is reporting that some of the Smackdown! workers are heading to Baghdad, Iraq whilst they are on their current overseas tour. Whilst this will be a major PR coup for WWE I can't help but think that it's a really, really, stupid idea. Obviously WWE talent won't be wandering the streets of Baghdad and will most likely visit a 'secure' army base, but this gig isn't for a few hours. It's planned for THREE days.

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 That's ridiculous..........Sending these guys to IRaq. There's no reason for it and I bet most, if not all of the stars are scared shit. I'm surprised they didn't send them to Tora Bora, Afghanistan last year and set up[ a ring in the middle of the mountains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 If they can tape a tv show in iraq then there's no excuse for why they can't tape one in the Uk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted December 6, 2003 They're doing what Mail Call and Emeril Live did, go to the Middle East to air a show, in hope to get higher ratings. I wonder if this will get some puplicity on the news for the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hunger4unger Report post Posted December 8, 2003 I think that if a Smackdown! is taped in Iraq WWE will receive a huge amount of mainstream publicity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted December 8, 2003 hell what is "Secure" in Iraq? a part of the city that has absolutely no streets for cars to drive crash and explode? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nikowwf Report post Posted December 8, 2003 Its not a live taping, its more like a USO type visit by a few people. (like Kid Rock doing his concert in Iraq, etc.) Its not WWE PRESENTS THE WMD TOUR IN IRAQ. They'll be a few peeps there, they'll be some video of them talking to an audience, and shaking soldiers hands on smackdown. This hardly seems like a bitch worthy topic. niko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hunger4unger Report post Posted December 8, 2003 I'm under the impression that a Smackdown! event is actually going to be taped in Iraq..anyone able to clear this up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2003 I'm under the impression that a Smackdown! event is actually going to be taped in Iraq..anyone able to clear this up? This will be akin to the European Championship tournament on RAW in March of 1997. They will tape a few matches, then air them along with pre-taped segments consisting of actual wrestling promos, then with superstars doing a tour of the base around the taping site.
