In light of the tragedy in London, parental discretion is advised when viewing...
 
:wtf:

Yeah, okay, what the Hell does a pretaped show have to do with bombs in London?

Does Hassan hijack a subway station and demand a title push?

well you know how careful people need to be these days with thier programming. If they didn't put something, I'm sure the FCC would of had a field day with that segment. They probably still will

I don't think there's any "probably" about it.

I was confused at first, and then I remembered Hassan.

Remember: this is America, where you can sue for ANYTHING. You can never have too many disclaimers.

Unfortunately.

My thing was I didn't read any of the spoilers, and even though I feared it might have to do with Hassan, I was like "What the fuck could they do that was bad enough to merit this?" And for that matter, what would tie into the recent incident?

Okay, so I was blindsided. It was a brief shock, but still nothing that was really all that horrible. Kinda poor taste, but considering HAssan't whole gimmick is, and this is actually less IMO in many ways, I can't really complain.

Yeah, I can't wait to see the fine WWE gets for this one. My GF was watching with me and immediately picked up on when Hassan said Daivari had to "sacrifice himself for the greater good". And it was in horribly poor taste to bring out 5 masked men to beat down the Undertaker. I was half expecting them to pull out a machine gun, hold it to Takers head, and start taking pictures.

Truth be told, if this had happened last week, it probably would of been tolerated. The WWE just drew the extremely short end of the stick with the coincidence that everything happened on the same day this segment was to air.

Offensive? This week... yes. Tasteless? Any day of the week.

Bad timing. I'm surprised that UPN didn't have the segment removed from the show. If anyone, UPN should receive the fine as it was pre-taped. Then again they really didn't have a lot of time to react and create filler.

It's removed from the British Show tonight.

I'm not sure whether it's just the end or the entire Hassan-Taker thing.
