"WWE Confidential" Talkback (Spoilers) - X-Mas From Baghdad

[The Penguin]

Short preview this week for the 66th episode of Confidential this week. Christmas From Baghdad and more!

Confidential preview for Jan. 3, 2003

Join us for the first Confidential of 2004 when we go behind the scenes of the recent tour of Iraq by the Superstars of SmackDown! It was an unforgettable tour and an incredible SmackDown! event -- see all of the highlights and reaction from the WWE Superstars at 11/10 CT on Spike TV!

I like what the WWE superstars did in Iraq. More respect to them.

Good to see Batista on the cover of RAW. He deserves it.

Even though it's 40 bones, you should get "Unscripted". It is a very good book, and you learn more about the superstars after reading it.

I present to you, for the first time ever (and the last time), Confidential Word Association! To make up for just not responding to this thread back when people actually kind of cared! Since the show is no longer on it seems like even more of a moot point (I had planned to use it as a bump when this episode aired again), but I had my thoughts over half done so I figured I’d finish it and make the post.

X-Mas in Baghdad Some high praise from the Air Force Director calling the show the best and biggest he’s seen in all his many years.

Evolution and the Ferrari Magazine cover shoots are always interesting features and this one with HHH, Flair, Orton and Batista was no exception. These guys are never out of character.

Outside The Ropes This one with Stacy was pretty interesting. With so many Divas, even ones that don’t need them, getting implants I kind of admire Stacy for her current feelings on the subject. Interesting to know it takes 10 minutes to shave those legs.

Resolutions I really enjoyed this segment; it was just a good chance for the Superstars to crack a few jokes. I liked Orton’s “limit” and the comment about Tazz winning a slam dunk competition among the many good ones.

Flair signs DVDs I think even Flair has been amazed at the strong fan reaction by the release of his DVD set. I bet he didn’t think that many fans still cared about his storied career.

Unscripted signed by Matt and Victoria Not much to say about an autograph signing, but Matt and Victoria seemed to enjoy interaction with their fans.

HBK awarded for raising money Shawn Michaels has come a long way in his life. He lost his first shot at WWF when he Marty were out partying and now he raises money for our troops and come up with the idea himself. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Hospital visit Anyone in any sort of hospital could stand to have some visitors to cheer them up and our troops are no exception. The Superstars really give of their time to them.

The troops say hello This was of course something nice to do. My local news does it, but for WWE to give some of our troops that chance is just awesome in my book.
