“I’ve been wrestling for five years,” revealed Daivari following his victory, “and when I came to WWE, I never said I couldn’t wrestle. Since Day One, Muhammad and I have had a strategy, and that was to let all the Americans know how we feel about their treatment of Arab-Americans, and to rectify all the wrongs that they are doing to our people. My being in the ring didn’t help our cause, but my being a mouthpiece, and speaking to our Arab-American brothers in Farsi did. So now that we’re starting to get a wave of momentum going, it only seemed fitting for me to climb into the ring.”
Much like Hassan, Daivari was upset about not being a part of WrestleMania 21, and he feels that this win only further proves that the duo deserved to be a part of the April 3 pay-per-view spectacular – a show they wound up being a part of anyway, despite not being scheduled to appear.
"This win is huge,” shouted Daivari. “I mean, my career with WWE just started, and HBK is considered one of the greatest of all-time, so if you defeat him, it has to put you up on a pretty high pedestal. If you were to look at who on the roster has a victory over Shawn Michaels, it would be a really, really small list – a handful of guys – and now I’m on that list.”
Following his stunning debut victory, Daivari will have another opportunity to show the world just how good he can be. According to Eric Bischoff, Hassan & Daivari will meet Shawn Michaels and a partner of Michaels' choosing at Backlash (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/backlash/index.jsp) on May 1. If Shawn Michaels has it his way, his partner will be none other than 2005 Hall of Fame inductee Hulk Hogan.
“I don’t think HBK’s offer is a big deal at all,” continued Daivari. “I have a victory over HBK, and Muhammad has never even been pinned on RAW. Besides, I don’t think they would even be much of a tag-team, anyway. I mean they’ve never teamed before, whereas Muhammad and I travel together, eat together, train together and know each other like clockwork. Hogan and HBK are just two guys from two different eras who are coming together because of an equal belief, but that belief is not going to be enough for them to overcome us.”
“If you ask me, I don’t think Hogan’s even going to accept Michaels offer,” added Hassan.
Like Michaels, Hogan has had a problem with Hassan & Daivari’s strong viewpoints, and an even bigger problem with their actions. At WrestleMania 21, the “Immortal One” rushed to the ring to save Eugene from Hassan’s Camel Clutch. After rescuing Eugene, Hogan issued a pair of Big Boots to the Arab-American Superstars and tossed each of them out of the ring.
If the Hulkster should accept HBK’s offer to tag up at Backlash, it would mark the first time the two icons ever teamed up together, but if Hassan & Daivari have it their way, it will also be the last.
“Michaels and Hogan can expect something like what Shawn saw tonight,” said Daivari. “My streak may only be 1-0, but no one has pinned either one of us on RAW or made us submit. So, we’d have no problem beating HBK – a guy who’s coming off a series of losses – and Hulk Hogan – a guy who hasn’t even wrestled in two years. So if you ask me, we’ve got a lot more going for us.”
“If, and I do mean if, Hogan does accept Shawn’s offer,” added Hassan with a smirk. “I think you’re going to see two young, well-trained athletes in the prime of their lives wipe the floor with two washed-up veterans. In the end, youth will always beat experience.”

I think it'd be BS if HBK and Hogan won. Both are on the way out the door and this is Hulks final wave so yeah the 2 oldies will probably go over.
