Yeah, all my class got was Nick Mondo.

The henchman thing should have just been cut from the program. Should have just aired anything else other than that.
The henchmen thing was dumb, but the gimmick was not "playing with dynamite" prior. The only reason it "blew up" is because they added "terrorists" to the mix....On the same day of the 7/7 bombings. There's no "too soon" in that, because terrorism doesn't go away. Ten years from now, they could try that angle and just chance upon the same day as a terrorist attack, and it'd be fucked.

Maybe the gimmick should never be done for risk of that, but it wasn't killed by 9-11 or proximity to.

Absolutely 100% agreed. If people would really be that offended by a single 10-15 minute match that featured a post-match segment which was only "controversial" because of events that transpired hours earlier, they need to either not watch or have their heads examined. Seriously, WWE and UPN did all they could to warn viewers via a ticker at the bottom of the screen all night that something like that was going to air at the end of the show, and if people can't read/don't like it, that's their problem, not WWE's or the network's.
