Joey Styles and Michael Cole BLOG While on Tribute to the Troops
Both Joey Styles and Michaels Cole are heading on over to Iraq. Both of these men have WWE Universe blogs on which they will be updating while over in Iraq.
HERE IS MICHAEL COLES:
Hello, this is Michael Cole, aboard a C-17 cargo jet, along with 62 WWE personnel, that includes technical crew and WWE Superstars at Andrews Air Force Base, ready to take off for our annual Tribute to the Troops.
This cargo plane (seen above) holds 110,000 lbs. of cargo. We have 80,000 pounds of equipment loaded for this trip. For the first time ever, the troops, when they see our show, will get the total WWE television TV experience. Because, for the first time ever, we are bringing a high-definition TitanTron and LED, or video board.
WWE personnel took months creating and engineering this very special TitanTron so that it would work in desert conditions, including in the sand in the desert. It is the first HD TitanTron that we’ve ever brought to Iraq – and the first-ever HD TitanTron that will ever be used in an entertainment show in a war zone.
Our main goal this year is to entertain the troops, to give them the full WWE experience. The troops this year will be entertained this year with video packages and entrance videos. They’ll feel like they really are at a Monday Night Raw or a WWE TV event, and really feel like there are part of the show that will air on NBC the Saturday before Christmas.
Of course, there’s the ring, the turnbuckles, the ropes, microphones, television equipment and cameras … everything that will make this experience the best it can be.
And we will actually set up this arena in the middle of a desert, to entertain our troops while we’re over there for our sixth-annual Tribute to the Troops..You can update Coles here>>>>
HERE IS JOEY STYLES:
Hi everyone, this is Joey Styles aboard a C-17 at Andrews Air Force Base in our nation’s capital, getting ready to head over to Germany first, before heading to our destination.
I’m joined by another first-timer here for Tribute to the Troops, one-half of the “greatest tag team of the 21st Century” ….
THE MIZ: Now tilt your head when you say that…
JOEY: Tilt my head?
THE MIZ: A little to the left… that’s how you say it …
JOEY: “…The GREATEST Tag Team of the 21st Century!!”
THE MIZ: This is my first trip to Iraq. I’m finally going to grace my presence to Iraq, in support of all the troops … and them in support of me. I’m so good looking,
I feel like the women have not had a nice-looking gentlemen like The Miz come over to Iraq to see them and shake their hands and hug them. I mean, smell me… I smell like “hombre”, the cologne of REAL men.
JOEY: Well, I smell something…
THE MIZ: It smells absolutely fantastic … Imagine these women when the Chick Magnet comes in. They’ve seen guys in their gear all the time. Then they are seeing me in my Coach coats and my $200 jeans, and they’ll be like “Oh my God! This is the most amazing thing ever!” I’m excited… the ladies are excited!
(interruption…)
THE MIZ: Oh, and we’re heading over to Iraq right now and gas is $2 a gallon. When we get back, mark my words, 99 cents a gallon! You can read Joey Styles HERE>>>>>
