Do I really need to say more?
What's that, I do? Fine

A few weeks ago I was watching the Hassan promo that got taken off of SmackDown when a friend of mine came into the room. "What the fuck? Is that a Haji?" (or however you spell it) She was PISSED that I was listening to an "Arab."
You want more?

I downloaded Hassan's theme music and put it on CD. I listened to it in the parking lot at work during my lunch break and people gave me all of these dirty looks.

Hassan draws heat, heat means ratings. It's a stupid ass idea to drop Hassan. Let him come back to Raw and cut a promo about how he was to real for SmackDown and UPN, how they wanted to censor him and take away his rights....

Please don't go Hassan.... :(

They ended him at GAB....but they didn't close the book yet. His whole part was great.

Granted, now that the Hassan character is no more, I will be putting on a CD and listening to it back to back for hours on end followed by "Candle in the Wind." Others may be confused though.

No...Undertaker put him through the stage.

I've seen someone kill someone...it was much better.

He could have gone like Al Wilson went. He deserved that at the very least.

Crowd: Ooooooh....


Hassan Will be on Raw, If the WWE fucks up one awesome Character like Hassan, Hassan is played out along Stupid Racist Americans, THAT'S IT, Everywhere else this guy would be accepted, If he came to Australia I would shake his hand and tell him to enjoy his stay, We stand together against Racists/Sexists here.

...


If there is a gang of people that hate blacks and a black person is on the street with a bunch of other people around, the racist gang makes a move towards the black person, all those white people will run over to break it up, tell the racists to fuck off, then have a beer with the black person.

Buy times are changing, People don't care about each other like they used to.

Australia was a place where you fight somebody, you both are hurt, you both agree that you both had enough and go have a beer with eachother. :D

How about men who beat up women (Test, Jeff Jarrett, The Dudley Boyz)
Latino Sterotypes (Eddie, Chavo, Mexicools)
Maybe we should start a "That's just wrong but I like it anyways" thread...

The promo video leading up to the Undertaker/Hassan match was some powerful stuff. There are SO many directions they can go with the character if it is allowed to continue, and it truly would be a shame for them to have to pull the plug. It's like he's being punished for making the most out of his gimmick.

Wrestling is not 'real'. It's entertainment. I just saw The Devil's Rejects in a theater, and I'd say the actions depicted in that were far more 'offensive' than Muhammad Hussan. Either way, I was entertained by both.

Anybody who gets offended by wrestling probably isn't mature enough to be entertained.
