If Hassan takes a pin from Taker, you can kiss his heat goodbye

I quite like the idea of continuing to have his solicitior represent him on SmackDown! until such time as UPN pulls it's head out of it's ass over the Hassan character. Can they not see that it's a potential ratings winner as well? |

This does suck to hear. But when WWE started this character, we all knew there was going to be problems. But this one is all of bad timing. There's a terrorist act outside of the US, and right away, Hassan becomes the focus. Now, I'm not a big fan of the Arabs, but this just proves that everything Hassan said is right. He had a good 8 month run, but looks like he's gonna be doing something else now.

I actually liked Hassan more when he was using the prejudice in the crowd and turning it around. He was basically being booed for no reason other than he was "Arabic" and when he threw that in the faces of the fans, they hated him even more.
But by running this "terrorist attack" angle, they basically proved that fans right: he became the stereotype. But of course since this was the Undertaker, they had to run something extreme; the way he's written, there's no way to actually take him out under 'normal' circumstances. I don't know. I think Hassan was one of the most uniquely written "evil foreigner" characters in the history of wrestling; he was like a walking lesson in the dynamics of racism in America. But because of the way that people are, maybe this was inevitable. |

Now...if he's got nothing. And without him being on my TV...I can't hate him and see if he's still redeemable. Therefore...no heat. Hmmmm.. Hassan=TNA. |

The Hassan character has to be one of my favourite characters conceived of all time. I just wish that they had used him better in countries outwith the United States. For example, at the RAW house show I attended here in Scotland, they should have had him cut a promo criticising Blair and Bush (which would have drawn decent pops) and praising the way in which the Scottish people tend to integrate multi-ethnicity to a very good degree.
The same should have occured in Canada, etc. IMO |

So this is actually true... [reads WWE link]
Fuck UPN. The best thing for WWE to do is to make this an angle. "Hassan: Banned from UPN." Last edited by Batsu; 07-21-2005 at 08:25 PM. |

Remember, though. UPN only asked that they not use the Hassan character (according to the WWE link). Nothing has been said that they are being forced to take him off. Nothing has been said as to what would be done if the WWE refused to take him off. And with Vince's stubborness, I would say that he doesn't care what anyone says to him. He went through with a father vs. daughter match in a state that fined them for having that match in their state (at No Mercy 2003).
My guess is that UPN is STILL scared about the PTC thing. |

What is this going to do to the GAB match? That's what I'm wondering.
I'm starting to think that the WWE had a say in this, and both Vince and UPN decided it. |

I don't know if UPN would be glad to see Hassan on any show talking about how he was "discriminated against". They would want to fuck him up while he was on Spike TV/USA, as well, since it would be someone talking bad about them on another network, and could produce a lawsuit, even though Spike is owned by Viacom, as well.

They're doing it with the Matt Hardy/Edge thing on RAW, maybe they're using this controversy to their advantage and making us THINK that they are doing this to Hassan. Maybe soon we will see a UPN "official" be on SmackDown and try to explain himself or something. Now that he said that, got me thinking: Don't believe anything anymore. ANYTHING can be a work anymore. |

Why is it that WWE has tried to get a character that everyone will chant USA at and still pay to see, and the first time they actually have someone like that in the past decade they decide to rop it??? But on the plus side, it Vince & Co continue to kill everything possitive they have going for themselves I win the pool bet on them being dead and burried in the next 2 years.

*sigh*
THE WWE DID NOT WANT TO DROP THIS ANGLE. But what the fuck were they supposed to do? They were getting all of this bad publicity by idiots who don't even watch the product on a regular basis. And UPN was putting major pressure on them. The last thing they want to do is to sour the already strained relationship between them and UPN. |

Really bad break for both Magnus and the WWE. Magnus played the Hassan character so well and he was easily on his way to being the top heel on Smackdown. Then WWE gets some back luck followed by poor judgment with the terror attacks occurring on the same day as Smackdown, even though the show was taped two days before. If WWE had edited out the Hassan segment from that version of Smackdown, none of this would have happened because everyone in the media would still be quite oblivious that the character even existed. Really fucking shitty circumstances here, and I will really miss Muhammad Hassan
