Tribute To The Troops not airing this year

[Steveweiser]

It turns out that WWE won’t be airing a Tribute to the Troops special on television this year.

The 17th annual WWE Tribute to the Troops celebration was held Friday, December 6 at Marine Corps Air Station New River and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

Prior to the show, WWE sent out a press release touting the show but didn’t disclose broadcast details as the show as historically aired on the USA Network for the last few years.

Dave Meltzer noted at the end of the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE did the show but didn’t tape it. It was basically a live event for the troops.

Meltzer doesn’t have a reason as to why the show isn’t airing on television this year but guessed that the USA Network didn’t want it.

New terms of the Saudi deal.

The Honor the Troops Thing likely was a crime against nature.

I bet it featured a 30 minute Florida/Georgia Line concert with a cameo from Flo-Rida.

Okay, in reality, the WWE probably have gotten tired of doing these shows for the military, when they wanted to look cool by doing shows during the armed conflict in Iraq, but now that they're stuck just visiting military sites in North Carolina instead, the appeal is lost on them and they're just doing it out of self-imposed obligation. With the diminished returns and lack of interest in the show by the general public, ultimately this is going to become nothing more than a house show and that's that.

If only there was a place the WWE could just air this........like, their own network on TV or the internet someplace................

Yeah, maybe they can get EVOLVE to stream it on WWN Live.

I guess WWE doesn’t love The Troops as much as Roman Reigns does.

[Instant Classic]

Wouldn’t make much sense to now that Rollins just turned heel. Pretty sure he beat Rowan and then cut a heart felt speech.

[PKO]

Just put it on the Network 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Push R Truth]

But how are they going to show that Roman Reigns supports the Troops more than anybody else?

[floundertime]

Does Roman know about this, cause no one does more for the troops than him

If this is true, this sucks. The matches sounded good. Now, I have no matches to update on my Tribute To The Troops page.

House Show to the Troops

This seems like something Fox would jump on, especially Christmas week.

Pfft, nobody has WWN Live!

wXw Now on the other hand...

[Tenshigure]

They'll air house shows named after defunct PPVs just to retain the trademark, but heaven forbid they air the special they've been running for nearly two decades on their own private 'Network'.

[Welfare Willis]

No worries guys, Roman has got this.

XFL Commissioner is going to be pissed.
