Today's Overcompensating talked about the ridiculousness of military operation codenames.  In the news, Jeffrey Rowland came up with the idea of making a game of Iraq Operation Codename or Action Movie.  I decided to also throw in terms from Professional Wrestling. 

Your task?  Decide whether each of the following names is the name of a military operation in Iraq, an action movie, or a term used in professional wrestling.  All names are from the wikipedia pages listed below.  Sometime when I'm feeling even more inspired, I might give a little blurb about each in the spoiler tags, but for now they're just answers.

P.S. Jeffrey put up a link!  Welcome, Overcompensating readers!

Operation Soda Mountain
July 12, 2003 - July 17, 2003

Operation Soda Mountain was the second major operation conducted by coalition forces since the end of major combat phase in Iraq. Begun on July 12, 2003, it concluded on July 17, 2003, and included the sub-operation called Ivy Serpent.

The mission of Operation Soda Mountain was to increase reconnaissance and presence throughout the whole of Iraq to deter, disrupt and rapidly defeat attacks on coalition forces.

During the course of Operation Soda Mountain, 141 raids were conducted, resulting in the capture of 611 individuals, including 62 former regime leaders. 4,397 mortar rounds, 1,346 rocket-propelled grenades, and 635 various and other weapons were also seized. This total excludes results achieved as part of Operation Ivy Serepent.


I'm not sure I have words for this.
