There are two things you absolutely do not disrespect when delivering a Yuletide message to an assembled array of army folk in the Middle East: the gold ol' Stars and Stripes, and, obviously, Santa Clause.

Of course, 'tact' has no place in Vince McMahon's lexicon, and he managed to put himself on the naughty list of a whole battalion of the US Army's finest whilst delivering his Christmas address at 2003's Tribute to the Troops in Baghdad.

Things got off to a smooth start, when the Chairman endeared himself to the specialised audience by respectfully thanking them for their service. However, conflict soon arose when Santa gatecrashed Vince's heartfelt missive, handing out gifts to the infantry but failing to find one in his sack for the WWE CEO.

St. Nick was bluntly told that if he had nothing for the boss, then he could "turn his big fat ass around and get out of my ring." Before he could waddle back to the North Pole however, poor Santa received a clip on the bonce for his troubles, causing his little hat to fall off as he tumbled to the ground. Wait, that isn't Santa but... Stone Cold!

Yup, it wasn't really Lapland's premier sledder, as an unawares Vince McMahon would soon discover, slowly turning straight into a 'Stone Cold' stunner in the red hot desert. A stupid Michael Cole belted out,"if you think about it, Stone Cold embodies what the US armed forced are all about: kicking ass and taking names!"

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
