WWE TLC: In-Ring Segment - Cody Rhodes, The Bella Twins & Santa Claus
In the Arena:
Cody Rhodes' music hits, and the Dashing one makes his way out to the entrance ramp. He introduces himself and says Christmas has come early to Houston. Rhodes says he's going to stuff everyone's stocking with his grooming tips. He does say there's a bit of bad news. They have a problem, and Houston is the problem. Rhodes says Houston is filled with carriers of an epidemic sweeping across the country. Rhodes is talking about IJS: Irritable Jowl Syndrome. Rhodes points out where his neck and jaw meet and points out that he doesn't have a bunch of low loose jangly neck fat. Rhodes says if it looks stupid on a rooster, it's probably going to look stupid on some of these people in the audience too. Rhodes says it's not time to be jolly if you're too jowly. He tells the crowd not to stuff their face when they're the #1 fattest city in America. He says that's fat with a f, not a ph. He then says his skin is remarkably ph balanced. He's interrupted by The Bella's along with 'Santa Claus'.
Santa is pretty obviously the Big Show, since he's humongous. The Bella's and Show are tossing out presents to the crowd, it looks like DVD's. Cole keeps calling 'Santa', Show, and Striker and Lawler keep correcting him. Rhodes says he doesn't appreciate being interrupted while he's giving Dashing tips. Rhodes calls out Show. Show says he's not Show, he's Santa Claus. Rhodes says he's the prime example of how not to be Dashing. Rhodes says the worst image of 2010 is the site of Big Show in his underwear in his movie Knucklehead. He calls Show a man with no dignity. Show says the problem is Rhodes is not funny. He's too uptight and serious, and maybe it's because he diets too much. Show encourages Rhodes to run around in his underwear. Rhodes says Show giving him fashion advice is ridiculous, and the only thing more ridiculous is that Show is starring in movies and Rhodes is not. Rhodes calls Show a vanilla Shrek, but says Shrek probably smells better. Show says he can get Cody a part in Knucklehead 2. Rhodes slaps Show's hands away and runs him down, screaming at him for touching his suit. Show looks sad for a bit, but then he pushes Rhodes off the ropes and comes back with a big spinebuster. Show rips the jacket and shirt off of Rhodes roughly. Show then rips off Rhodes' pants and forces him to run around in his underwear, as Show recommended.
Backstage:
Barrett and Harriss are shown walking toward the ring backstage. They make their way through a doorway only for Harriss to eat a chair shot, taking him out. Cena comes out of the doorway and smiles, saying hey to Barrett, saying he guess that's all before he heads off to the ring.
