25 Bizarre WWE Christmas Moments
8. Masterlock Challenge For The Troops
WWE's annual Tribute to the Troops is rarely a good show. The crowd is always starved for live entertainment, and will therefore embrace even the laziest show without question. Why give them an epic, 28-minute world title defense when they'll lose their minds over Santino farting his way through a Baghdad Bikini Bowl or whatever?
For example, in 2006, the softball segment of the night was Chris Masters putting Santa Claus in a full nelson. When Santa couldn't break the hold, Masters called for the biggest, baddest troop present to answer the challenge. He had the move cinched in tight, but it turned out that it was JBL beneath the false beard, and Masters got lariated to death.
