The OAO SmackDown! Christmas in Iraq II: Electric

[iliketurtles 0]

Was Summerslam 1992 in Wembley Stadium outdoors?

Yeah, but it was dark out way before Taker even came out.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

BTW...for the record, I think this is the second time the "Classic" Taker entrance has been used outdoors.

 

First was WrestleMania 9.

 

A case can partially be made for WrestleMania 8 as well.

SummerSlam 1992.

 

Full Gear on the back of a hearse. GREATEST ENTERANCE EVER!

Ah, OK.

 

That's next in my "Big 4/5" Collection to get...Summerslams

 

I already have complete Rumble and Mania collections.

[Guest JMA]

Is Teddy Long going to make an appearance?

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

At least we know they can pull off a Road Wild ppv if necessary.

As long as it's not as hot. It was hot in Sturgis but not IRAQ hot...and Benoit/Melenko managed to have a 30 minute classic that was ignored by the drunk bikers.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Lilian Garcia is a RAW personality and is on Smackdown. I doubt anyone cares.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I just noticed...

 

Taker's hair continues to get longer and longer.

 

Any chance that his hair will be 96/7 length sometime in the near future?

I hope when Angle comes out he says "I would of done my hometown challenge here this afternoon, but since you guys already beat me to kicking his ass last year, I'll make an acception."

[iliketurtles 0]

Wow, that was an awesome finish. *sarcasm*

[Guest LooneyTune]

The Undertaker wins via lame count-out? The free show for the troops has a cop-out finish in it's biggest match.

[AndrewTS 0]

Brilliant of them to protect that future headliner Heidenreich.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

...first count-out victory in a while on WWE TV, IIRC.

[Vyce 0]

Well, that was a long way to go for THAT particular ending.

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

Great, a decent 5-8 minute match considering the elements and it's a lame finish? They screwed the troops.

 

I guess Heidenreich/Taker-Casket Match is set for Rumble.

[Guest The Shadow Behind You]

Why did he spoil his surprise?

 

Idiot.

 

He must know the wife is cheating so he warned her to make sure he doesn't come home to his cousin george in bed with her.

I think Kidman got a CO victory on a recent Velocity, actually.

[Guest Phenom]

Well, it's 9PM EST. Now what?

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I guess Heidenreich/Taker-Casket Match is set for Rumble.

If there is one, expect anywhere between 1 and 10 guys running in to cost Taker the match.

 

That's the finish they ALWAYS use in Casket Matches at the Royal Rumble.

I hope when Angle comes out he says "I would of done my hometown challenge here this afternoon, but since you guys already beat me to kicking his ass last year, I'll make an acception."

So al-Zarqawi shows up to challenge Angle and is gunned down in a half-second.

I honestly can't think of one casket match that hasn't had a run-in.

'Cept HBK/Taker.

 

Which is the only one ever besides 1994 to occur on Rumble Day.

WWE has that many midcard + heels on SD?

That would be horrible.

 

"So what pussies from Tikrit want to come challenge an Olympic Gold Medalist?"

 

*Warfare breaks loose*

Undertaker/Kama, Summerslam 95.

 

...or was it 96.

 

Nah, think it was 95.

Yes. This isn't RAW, you know.

Kamala/Taker- Series 1992

Taker/Kama-Slam 1995(?)

They really need to go old-school with these. Make it like a WWII show or something. Trot out Saddam and Zarqawi and bin Laden lookalikes and have the entire locker room gang up on them.

Oh yeah (forgot 50 miscellaneous heel stable members).

I was thinking that JBL goosesteps his way to the ring...but I dunno.

HHH and Chyna ran in first.

 

Then Kane cost Taker the match.

I'm glad they're all so enthusiastic about coming back, since they'll be back for the next two Christmases at least, according to the current (and unrealistic) exit plan.
