Anyway, isn't it actually "Copani"?, not "Caponi", as everyone's been calling him?

Let's not break balls here. At least we're not calling him Mark Mangus anymore.

Instead of making him a terroist perhaps he could be like an evil dictator. he could have broze statues of himself.

UPN were the network upon which Smackdown, the show in question, aired. Since they are in the position to remove or alter the programming, they were the ones capable of pressuring Hassan off TV. I don't even know where Spike comes in on this, as they didn't air the programming that was catching flak and did not have to deal with this at all. You might as well be talking about PBS as Spike. In other words, of course Spike didn't force Hassan off the air. It would have never been their call. Hassan was pulled at the request of UPN, and his next segment was put on WWE.com as a result. Spike never commented. Spike didn't have to. There is no reason to presume Spike was fine with it, because they never came into the equation, in either case. |

Neither did UPN until "The Incident", which any decent network would edit out under the circumstances. That was UPN's call.

True. Was a tough break for Hassan though, for that very episode to air on that date. Although it was a dumb move by WWE to bring a thing like terrorists onto their show, as people were bound to get sensitive over it, regardless of any bombings.

In other words, I'm right: The issue never arose. Stop being so stupid. I know what you're talking about, it's just not fucking relevant. The incident happened on Smackdown. The incident was the reason people wanted him gone. This was after his Raw stint was over. Spike never needed to make this call. Which is, funnily, exactly what I was saying all along. Funny how that works. ![]() |

I do, however, think it was a rather sleazy thing to take the middle ground and run a disclaimer that it might be offensive in light of the bombings. That means they recognised it was offensive, but decided to run it and hide behind a disclaimers. I don't particularly find white men in ski masks garotting a zombie cowboy to be offensive, even in the light of a bombing, but if they were worried, then they probably shouldn't have, you know, run it. And clearly, they were. |

I know his new gimmick now. He can be the Master of Magnitism Mageneto. It would be the perfect way for the wwe to catch on the comic book movie craze. |

I think that the only way that he can NOT be hassan is if he comes back as himself, a ex-wrestler and failed actor. j/k. but I liked hassan, and dont think that he should never have left in the first place. their reasoning was stupid. Do you think that Britain cancelled all movies with terrorist when 9-11 happened, Fuck NO. Americans are so ass backwards sometimes.

Dunno if this was brought up before, but what about Hassan in ECW? No?

LOL, I suggested him join the FBI, being an Italian.
I also said he could come in with the Hassan character and feud with Sabu. |
