They might as well make the match at GAB a buried alive match.....

Taker seems to be more wrestling bad luck then Lita. Or Baldcore.

You didn't know that Taker is in charge of the Jewish mafia?\

Explains why Orton "mysteriously" got an injury and how he controls the media...

**Nervous Ferret** · 07-21-2005, 07:23 PM

Taker's using his "powers"

**Loose Cannon** · 07-21-2005, 07:25 PM

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

His heat went goodbye when the WWE took his character in this direction.

**Loose Cannon** · 07-21-2005, 07:37 PM

what are you talking about? He's getting more heat then ever before right now.

I'm talking about how this move really hurt the character. I agree with you on the heat he was getting before the "Incident" was great. I loved to hate him. It was actually fun to hate him. Because I knew the character was still "redeemable". I like heels that have a "redeeming" quality about them.

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.

**RGWhat316** · 07-21-2005, 07:55 PM

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.

lol. hillarious.

**PureHatred** · 07-21-2005, 07:58 PM

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.

**u03gks** · 07-21-2005, 08:03 PM

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

**Batsu** · 07-21-2005, 08:06 PM

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."

**darkpower** · 07-21-2005, 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.

Muhammad Hassan Character Dropped from WWE

News

- Henry Walk @ 7:20 pm EDT
According to Dave Meltzer, WWE has decided to drop the Muhammad Hassan angle and the character all together. This is all due to the recent bad feedback regarding the angle.

So it appears as he will not be on RAW or SmackDown. No word on what will be done with Hassan himself, from what we know, WWE still wants to employ him.

We hope to have more on this story later.

**Nervous Ferret** · 07-21-2005, 08:41 PM

WTF no

**darkpower** · 07-21-2005, 08:44 PM

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.

This is bullshit! people who NEVER watch wrestling can decide what is appropriate? Fuck that! fuck upn and vince for not telling upn to suck it! its WRESTLING! if New Jack can STILL wrestle and hassan can't, thats fucked up. hassan hasn't assulted (more than once) his fellow workers purposfully. upn is a scared little girl.

**Loose Cannon** · 07-21-2005, 08:44 PM

fuckin mother fucker. you got to be kidding me

**Nervous Ferret** · 07-21-2005, 08:46 PM

maaybe BJL will go over 'tista now [/hopeful]

**Loose Cannon** · 07-21-2005, 08:48 PM

all this work for nothing. How do you do that to the guy. Get out of here.

**darkpower** · 07-21-2005, 08:53 PM

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.

**Shadow** · 07-21-2005, 09:32 PM

WWE sure likes to fuck themselves up all the time don't they?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. His character was good until they went and pulled that shit.

Further evidence as to why David Laguana needs to be fired NOW!

Several people need to be fired besides David Laguana. Oh and several people on the UPN side also needs to be fired as well.

**Batsu** · 07-21-2005, 09:40 PM

Dammit. That means no Hassan in WWE video games.

Edit: FUCK UPN.

**Hired Hitman** · 07-21-2005, 09:47 PM

Hassan will wrestle the undertaker at the bash...

It's a work.. it always is... yep.... it.. sure is...

Actually...it might actually be. Never thought of that.

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.

yea lol. I looked at that like an hour ago and then voted for the Hassan match.

**Hired Hitman** · 07-21-2005, 10:54 PM

I can't believe JBL Vs Batista is getting more votes than Rey vs Eddie

.... EVEN the Bra and Panties match is getting more votes than Rey/Eddie

this is straight crazy

Don't blame the WWE for this.

**The One** · 07-21-2005, 11:15 PM

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.

Based on the current value of their stock, their intellectual properties, and their video catalog, the WWE would have to lose soemwhere in the neighborhood of $200 million/yr for the next two year for that to happen. They're a monopoly basically. This si like Microsoft having a bad quarter and then predicitng them to go belly up.

Its more likely that our grandkids will be watching the WWE.

Their current value of stock is 11.75, their ratings are falling, buyrates are not looking good, and while they do have a monopoly in the wrestling business, the entire industry is falling steadly. WWE was closer to backruptcy in the mid 90's then anyone really realised, and currently they are drawing about the same amount of people only now they have many more people signed to multi million dollar contracts then they did before.
