Hey, if I want to see some ugly beast scream in to the camera about how good they are...I'd watch Rosie O'donnel on the View. However, I applaud these guys and gals for doing this. I'm sure it's a lot of fun for the troops and a welcome distraction. Kudos. I’m not much of a wrestling fan.

My Grandaddy took me to the televised matches at WMC in Memphis, TN where I first met Jerry Lawler. I'm familiar somewhat with the behind-the-scenes nature of the business starting back during the kayfabe days all the way to today. My admiration for the dedication it takes to be sucessful in professional wrestling has always been high. Plus for every major superstar in the business, there are hundreds and hundreds of people busting their butts to put on shows for people at small venues all across the country. Anyway, a couple points of interest concerning the WWE's annual trips to Iraq to entertain the troops. First, no wrestler is mandated by the company to go. It's strictly voluntary. Secondly, every year since the beginning, the list of volunteers has always exceeded the number of slots available making it quite difficult for WWE officials to say "no." Personally speaking, it seems each and every WWE wrestler who does go seems to push themselves to put on a "better than best" performance for the troops present.
