Saddam never had a chance with troops likeyou around him. We should bury that bastard in the same hole that you found him
-
But first, I got Big Show trouble. That dude is making my blood hot. I'm gonna bust hisface up to look like Saddam Hussein's mugshot. They say I can't beat the Big Show. Isay go ahead and watch. I may be wrestling a giant, but the real Big Show's in mycrotch.
Saddam Hussein's arrest was deemed humilating. His mug shot was heavily circulated at the time.
The followup with "the real big show is in my crotch" referring to Cena's genitals adds a sexualized nature to the aforementioned humiliation/punishment. Sexual abuse is seen as punishment rather than having purely sexual roots.
-
John Cena is a young proud SmackDown star. John Cena is in his prime. I mean,Cena's age, I mean, most of these soldiers in the audience right now are probably thesame age as Cena, probably younger.Cole: Some of the guys who’ve been escorting the WWE superstars all over Baghdadthis week, are 19 years old! Can you fathom that?
Young age of troops....Heroism....Sacrifices
-
Let's do it. In the unlikely event that anything goeswrong, we've got a survival kit in the back here. It's got food, water, whatever you need tosurvive out here
The whole of Baghdad and Iraq is presented as a desert where Water and food are inaccessible.
-
I'll tell you what, they should have shoved Rikishi down thatdamn hole where Saddam Hussein came from!
Extrajudicial Punishment...Stink Face...Abu Ghraib
-
very serious note, there are 13MPs that gave their lives for this right here. So you're standing with a bunch of heroes
Sacrifice....death of US troops. No other casualties or deaths are mentioned in the show.

Eddie Guerrero: Porta Rasa? Orale mi Rasa? What’s up holmes!
Appeal to US Latinos and Hispanic community through Eddie Guerrero
-
A tremendous release forthese troops
Release again
-
It's a great release, Cole. And these men and women here from our US troops, theyneed a release! Nothing like this to do it for them. They're having a great time right now with thebig Kish.
Great Release.....Sexual release but also release of Paranoia through performing torture on an enemy who remains invisible.
-
Cole: It’s dance timeTazz: How do you know?Cole: Rikishi always dancesTazz: Oh, because it's Christmas.Cole: Right, that's what the soldiers want.Tazz: Oh, he only dances on Christmas?Cole: No, he dances all the time. Oh, check this out.[As Rikishi dances with two soldiers]Tazz:: Look at this.Cole: Rikishi taking members of the army here at Camp Victory.
Celebrations after the stinkface....Reminiscent to the photos taken by the MPs in Abu ghraib celebrating the torture.
-
But Rikishi fits right in herewith the U.S. Army. They're loving the Big Kish here in the desert
Rikishi's stinkface was performed on a downed oponent after the match was over as Extrajudicial punishment and humiliation to entertain the troops...Justifying the humiliation of prisoners.
-
Commentator 1 (Cole):. And Rikishi backing it up.
Abu Ghraib Positions
-
That's armored. Man,that's like a Sherman tank' or one of those Bradley fighting vehicles
Superiority of Troops
-
eah, and you know, Rikishi, like you and I, he’s a parent, a father, it hit hard for him.It's just a different world here. It's a dangerous world, and all US troops are letting us intheir dangerous world. We're proud to do it, and Rikishi is having a good time shakingthat big rump of his
Good Vs Evil.... America vs danger of the barbaric east
-
Rikishi actually saw a young child, an Iraqi child,walking down the street ......on one leg
Only mention of Iraqi individuals. Nominization of injury. making it part of what Iraq is. The desert...The barbaric
-
I drank a few beers, I figured I'd hold off on theChristmas carols, go right to the back, and drink some more damn beer
Clash of Civilizations (Islam prohibiting Alcohol)
In Abu Ghraib, Muslims were forced to eat pork, drink alcohol and perform sex acts in front of guards. Women were stripped before cameras.
-

Superiority of US troops...American Exceptionalism
-
BUSH 3:16 Sign (TEXAS

Too much eggnog.Cole: Hey, Remember that’s what the three kings used.Tazz: The three who?Cole: The three kings and stuff? You know when they brought the gifts and stuff?Tazz: Yea, like Queens!
Arabs have Camels.....Erasure of History...Christianity's history in the region... riding Camels makes the riders "Queens" referring to homosexuality pejoritively ...Even kings are queens

That's my daughter, she was born June the 21st this year. I hear she's grown like a weed, she'ssaid dad for the first time 3 days ago, so she didn't say it over the phone but my wife was tellingme about it. It's very hard . Me and my wife, we've known each other since we were a lotyounger. We've been married for going on for 4 years, so it's hard but you learn not to let it eatyou alive. The time is drawing shorter, it's closer to us going home, so that makes it a little biteasier. Just try to focus on what you're doing and keep them in the back of your thoughts and inyour heart and carry on with your mission
