The Streak

[Ytoojae]

If it wasn't for the London Bombings Muhammad Hassan would be a main eventer in the WWE at this point in time. I absolutely assure you of that. He was an amazing talent, could talk and had absolutely everything going for him save for a gimmick which at the time was almost doomed from the beginning through absolutely no fault of his own.

He should have been taken off of the air for several months and repackaged. Instead, they basically screw his entire career over. He is one of the most hardest done by wrestlers the industry has seen in many moons.

100% agree for me he was very talented and was very young in his time in WWE which people forget easily. He could have gone on to be a main eventer and I truly believe he would have if like you said he was repackaged or at the very least they backed him against the media outcry. They could have easily took him off tv for a while and brought him back in a less controversial way, he could have maybe realized he went too far etc.

The beauty of the Hassan character was he was Arab-American or at least the character was but he was labelled a terrorist in the eyes of the fans. If you look back at his stint in WWE his arguements were actually very good, he was often in the right yet he was abused and hated by the fans. Of course they played on this because controversy makes cash as they say and WWE have a habit of going too far with these kind of angles for that reason.

I agree that they de-railed his career but as far as I know he is happy being a private fitness instructor and he writes/illustrates books too.

I was always a fan of his he really stood out as a future star to me.

My idea about Hassan taking the streak is to get the ultimate revenge on Taker for ending his career. It might seem far fetched and would take some build up but who better to take the streak from a phenom than..

A ghost from the past? How many wrestlers has Taker put on the shelf or retired afterall?

If not someone from the past then give it to a top star who deserves the honour. Wrestling is pre-determined they would be mad not to create a star from the streak.
