But what I think would have been nice, is if this all happened in the ring. Muhammad getting in the face of Foley was just screaming for a fist from Foley, but Foley not hitting Hassan but not backing down adds a bit of depth to FOLEY in this feud. It shows that Hassan believes what he's saying, is tough and won't back down, but it also proves that maybe Foley DOESN'T believe what he's saying. Not about the right to freedom, or that brave men and women have given their lives, but rather about the cause and his standing. As a man of the people would Mick really be able to stand down from his role as "patriot" in this feud, even if he doesn't believe it?

The thing that has me just a little confused, and I may have missed something along the line, is I thought that Mick wasn't going to be wrestling anymore. If that is the case, why did they pick Foley to be the second half in the start of this fued? Seems weird that they did this if Foley isn't going to return to actual wrestlling.
No, it isn't the normal racist role but unless they do this right it is going to get old just because we listen to the same kind of stuff in the general public day after day. I realize that the idea to run with this story line is the same idea that prompted the run of the Iron Shiek story line with the Gulf War. It does get the audiance involved in the fued and all. In order to do this, Vince had to wait a certain amount of time since 9-11 where he didn't get blasted for it, but did he wait to long in his wait? I just find myself wondering if this is going to go over like it's hoped for. So far so good....
