Five WWE Superstars came to jump with the Tandem Team at Laurinburg, NC Friday. The wrestlers were in town for their annual “Tribute to the Troops” performance. Admission to the event was completely free of charge to all military ID card holders and their dependents, including retirees. Singers Mary J. Blige and Nickelback performed as well. The event aired on USA last night as a two-hour special, and will air again Sunday. The wrestlers LOVED the jump and the team had a great time hanging out with them. The jumpers were Eve Torres, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and Alberto del Rio.
