It's-a Me, Mario! A Review of WWE Wrestling: Unique Holiday Matches

As a plumber and wrestling enthusiast, I'm excited to share my review of the unique holiday matches in WWE. In this post, we'll explore the history and significance of Christmas-themed events in the world of professional wrestling.

A Brief History of Christmas in WWE

Christmas has been a staple of American culture for centuries, but its impact on the world of professional wrestling is a more recent phenomenon. The first recorded Christmas match took place in 1995, when the WWF (now known as WWE) hosted a special holiday event.

The Rise of Holiday Matches

In the early 2000s, WWE began to incorporate Christmas-themed storylines and matches into their programming. This was largely due to the success of events like "Starrcade" and "WrestleMania," which featured high-stakes matches and dramatic storylines.

Some notable holiday matches include:

• 1995: WWF Holiday Bash
• 2000: WWF's Survivor Series
• 2010: WWE's TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs
• 2019: WWE's TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs

These matches often featured iconic wrestlers like John Cena, The Undertaker, and Triple H, who would engage in intense battles for the holiday season.

The People Who Missed Christmas

In addition to featuring Christmas-themed matches, WWE has also explored the stories of those who missed Christmas. Two notable examples are Herod and the Innkeeper.

• Herod's Story

  Matthew 2 tells the story of King Herod, who was ordered by an angel to kill all male children under two years old in search of the newborn Jesus. This event is often seen as a reminder that not everyone celebrates Christmas.

• The Innkeeper's Story

  Another example is the story of the innkeeper, who was tasked with caring for travelers on his road to Bethlehem. According to Luke 2:7, the innkeeper turned away Mary and Joseph due to lack of room.

These stories serve as a reminder that Christmas is not just a time for celebration, but also for reflection and understanding.

Fan Reactions

WWE fans have always been passionate about the holiday season, with many sharing their favorite Christmas-themed matches on social media. Some notable reactions include:

• "I love how WWE incorporates Christmas into their storylines! It adds an extra layer of excitement to the holidays." - @MarioBrother

• "The WWF Holiday Bash is still one of my favorite events in WWE history. The energy and excitement were palpable!" - @WWF_Fan_4_Life

Conclusion

As a plumber and wrestling enthusiast, I can attest that Christmas-themed matches in WWE are a unique and exciting addition to the holiday season. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering WWE for the first time, there's something for everyone at these events.

So grab some eggnog, don your favorite holiday sweater, and get ready to experience the magic of WWE during the holiday season!
