- The flyer for this year's Tribute To The Troops says that the taping will take place December 11th, and it's free and open to the public. The flyer advertises the previously reported celebrities as well as an appearance by Shawn Michaels. Credit: PWInsider > open to the public umm... The only catch is that is requires special access to get on Fort Hood. So if you don't already have a pass to get on post, you have to apply for a visitors pass, which can take over an hour at the visitor's center. They also said that people in uniform and military clothing will get the preferred seating.

I used to serve in Fort Hood, with the 1st CAV. In 2003, I got autographs from Stacy Keibler, Sable, Stone Cold, and Lita, and had I not left in 2005, I would have gotten Triple H's. I also watched WWE's PPVs at that sports bar in Fort Hood (the one with Mean Gene's Burgers). I forgot the name of it, but it's located in the 1st CAV area. I served at Hood, too. The name of the place you're referring to is SportsUSA. Or at least that's what it was called when I left Hood. (2001) I also used to watch damn near every PPV there. Good times. My dad was stationed at Ft. Hood for three years so I lived there for a while as well. Oh Killeen. That place was something else.

I miss when when Tribute to the Troops was an actual 2 hour episode of Raw or Smack Down instead of an hour long highlight and clip show.

There's a Raw and Smackdown in between the time they tape this show and when this show airs. So it's VERY unlikely. My only prediction for the show: United States Champion Daniel Bryan gets a victory. That's who I should make a sign for... Daniel Bryan. Or how about the Swagger Soaring Eagle? You think he'll be there?

Percymania, first and foremost, thank you and all the other vets of the board. I'm an Air Force kid, born on base in a hospital on lockdown while bombers were taking off to bomb Baghdad (the first time).
Secondly, take an American Dragon sign for Danielson, if it's cool, you'll probably get on TV.

Ah yes... Mean Gene's Burgers. They were pretty bad. That closed up years ago. The name of the bar you're thinking of is "Sports USA" though the bar is now closed up too. In fact, they remodeled that whole building and turned it into the Soldier Readiness Processing Center - which is the sight of last year's shooting. Crazy, huh? oh and *high-five* to another Vet. I served at Hood, too. The name of the place you're referring to is SportsUSA. Or at least that's what it was called when I left Hood. (2001) I also used to watch damn near every PPV there. Good times. Thanks guys, for reminding me. Ahh, fond memories of that place. Do they still have Popeye's, Burger King, and the A & W on base?[/quote] Before my unit deployed we were stationed at Ft Hood for 6 months. That was the first time I had ever had Popeye's. Me and another guy had to go to fuel handlers course and there was one in the parking lot of the school building. We ended up eating it every day. We were living in a 4th ID barracks.

Just drove by the site about 30 minutes ago... wow, it's really impressive. They got a HUGE stage setup already. A LOT of WWE trucks out there. I can't wait for tomorrow!

Why aren't they doing it in Afghanistan this year? Don't get me wrong, I think it's nice they're doing it for troops stationed here, but I'm just curious as to why it isn't overseas.

I don't believe the Afghani government allows large events like this to take place there, as opposed to the Iraqis, who didn't really have a say in it.

Just returned from the show. I have a few complaints about it, but overall it was great. I'm going to give you the quick jist of what happened, then when I settle in a bit, I go over it more in-depth and upload some of the pictures. {Spoiler} That one girl sang the National Anthem
R-Truth (w/ Eve) def. Ted Dibiase (w/ Maryse)
Big Show & Kofi Kingston def. Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler (Miss USA was the special ring announcer)
The country band played a few songs
8-diva Santa Divas match (hopefully I have the participants right) Nikki & Brie Bella, Natalya, & Kelly Kelly def. LayCool, Alicia Fox, & Melina
Cedric the Entertainer told some jokes
15-man battle royal Mark Henry def. um... I'll name all the participants later. Sheamus was the last one eliminated.
P.Diddy & his band performed. This was a big hit with the crowd.
Kane & Major General Grimsley (Fort Hood Commander) had an arm-wrestling match that was interrupted by Edge. Spear! Spear! Spear!
6-man tag match John Cena, Randy Orton, & Rey Mysterio def. Wade Barrett, The Miz, and Alberto Del Rio
afterwards, John Cena asked us "Are you ready?" and sure enough, both HHH and HBK came out the the full DX theme. Cena, Orton, Mysterio, HHH, & HBK all celebrated together in the ring. P.Diddy came out and joined them - even pinning Rey Mysterio (wtf?) with HHH making the count. For some reason, I doubt any of the DX stuff will be on TV.
After this, EVERYBODY came out - faces, heels, it didn't matter. Kayfabe went right out the window as all performers were celebrating together and slapping high fives with the fans. Saw some folks who weren't even part of the show like Tyler Reks and Finlay.
I'll post more details in a bit. Oh yeah, somewhere in the middle of this show Sherri Sheperd came out with Hornswaggle to hand out presents. I gotta go through all my pictures to sort this all out.

{Spoiler}Trips and HBK return to television at Tribute to the Troops? Awesome move WWE. Like I said, I don't think that part is going to make TV. That's just my gut feeling. I think that was just a special surprise just for us in attendance.
