WWE.com updates Hassan situation...
Update on Muhammad Hassan



Reliable sources have informed WWE.com that Muhammad Hassan will be out indefinitely as a result of the Last Ride delivered to him by the Undertaker at The Great American Bash. At this point, it is doubtful that he will return to action.

You know something...if I have learned nothing over the past few months, it is that the internet has more power in the world of professional wrestling then I had originally thought. Do you think if every time Undertaker came out and people started chanting "We Want Hassan"...eh...any takers....no...ok I will just go back to watching Family Guy now.

I think WWE should get Hassan, Daivai and his druids to invade the UPN studios on camels just like DX did back in the day when they invaded WCW with army tanks.

UPN said they wanted the Hassan character off of their network, does that mean Davairi is gone too? Oh well, UPN sucks. Fuck them, fuck them right in their ear. Yay! Thank you cliterous.

OK honestly, to everyone that says what he did was not offensive, do you not remember the thread up about it. EVERYBODY was saying how disrespectful the segment was. Now I am not saying Hassan should be taken off T.V., I am just reminding some of you people that acted like you did not think it was offensive when it first happened.

But like LC said, it only means he is out for now.

I was one who said it wasn't. Because it wasn't. It was scripted television, just like an episode of "24." Muhammad Hassan was a villain on a TV show who did a bad thing to the good guy. This whole thing was started by people misinterpreting (or flat-out not watching) one segment of television. Absolute bullshit, and I can't believe WWE is caving to it.

Scratch that, I can totally believe it.

It's still bullshit, though.

At least he is "out indefinitely" and not gone for good.

Everyone? I think your interweb is broked, because there were many people arguing the opposite.

The segment itself was in no way disrespectful, because of the following.

--The segment was taped beforehand.

--The segment was planned out with (Presumably) no knowledge of the events to come in London.

--The segment did not re-enact an actual recent event that had been given any sort of actual media coverage. I won't be so bold as to claim that there were no recent decapitations ANYWHERE, but they did not make major news.

--They were not labelled terrorists, they were not arabs, they did not kill anyone, fly a plane into the arena, or bomb a subway. They choked out an aging hasbeen.

Now airing it after, that could be considered disrespectful, or even offensive. However, the same could be said of much programming on TV. Hell, for like a WEEK after 11 September's WTC incident, you oculdn't go near a television without watching those buildings falling. People will gawk at REAL people REALLY dying, and then whine because the Undertaker got choked out by a brow person's henchmen.

BOO HOO FUCKING HOO. Get some priorities people. There was more shocking and offensive TV, such as Fox News adding insult to injury. We're sitting around gawking at a fake person doing fake things that don't even VAGUELY resemble what occurred.

One should also note, that even though Hassan used 9/11 as a reference for his frustration, he has solely focused on the USA. He has not drudged up current events (Iraq?), talked about terrorism (until that "terrorist" comment was made by the New York Post)....


...the worst you could call Hassan was a whiner who talked about a subject that makes many "mainstream" Americans uncomfortable -- prejudice.

At first, I was expecting WWE to go a cheap "Iron Sheik 2K5" route with the character (remember how the pinnacle of his heeldom was done during the '79 Iran hostage crisis), and though Hassan used the Camel Clutch and things of that manner, he was totally different than say...

...Sgt. Slaughter dressing up in the garb of and pledging allegiance to Iraq to go heel alongside a Saddam Hussein lookalike in the middle of the Gulf War.

Hassan told the truth, though he was a typical, cheat-to-win heel in the ring.There were calls for him to ride his camels home, and everyone remembers the "Get The Hell Out Of America, Hassan!" sign that was flashed during his promo.

I wouldn't have been surprised if the whole "masked henchmen" in angle was an act by Hassan to prove the prejudice of those who condemn him.

Exactly. He basically has said "Since 9-11, me and "my people"--American people--have been treated with prejudice and disrespect.

...the worst you could call Hassan was a whiner who talked about a subject that makes many "mainstream" Americans uncomfortable -- prejudice.
And he's telling the truth. But people don't want to hear that, so they treat him as bad as if he was a terrorist. Because we've forgotten how many terrorists have been American born. OK city, anyone?

Hassan told the truth, though he was a typical, cheat-to-win heel in the ring.There were calls for him to ride his camels home, and everyone remembers the "Get The Hell Out Of America, Hassan!" sign that was flashed during his promo.
Go back to your cave, go back where you came from, and some fans shouted "Go home!" at him. So stupid.

Quote:
I wouldn't have been surprised if the whole "masked henchmen" in angle was an act by Hassan to prove the prejudice of those who condemn him.
I wonder if that was the intent before they were called on it. Sadly, we'll never know what the intent was, because the shit hit the fan. However, the fact that so many "Journalists" jumped to the assumption that they were arab terrorists kind of proves how prejudiced we are, whether or not the intent was for Hassan to use that.

I'll give the WWE the benefit of the doubt, though I'm uncertain they deserve it. However, as you say, thus far they haven't gone the route of dragging Iraq into it and the like, so maybe they were gonna do this without being totally horrific.

I was one of the ones who thought everybody was being just downright silly for thinking the "terrorist" bit was offensive. I was also the one saying that Hassan explained his actions quite nicely in the unaired WWE.com-only promo where he gets chanted USA! at for being American, showing that marks are, in fact, hypocritical. Hassan turned the tables on the fans and is now a face in most smarks' eyes because of that.

Also, like I've said before, WWE.com is making themselves out to be not-quite-affiliated with WWE the corporation. Does nobody listen to me?

Agreed. "24" is much more "graphic" (if that's the word we're using) than SmackDown is. I have yet to see Hassan put a bullet through someone's hand as part of an interrogation.

WWE should own its own station, or make WWE 24/7 public and you know add the raw and smackdowns to the program list.

UPN flexes there muscle and shows there ignorance. Good job UPN. Honestly, I'm offended by Cops, Stupid game shows, 10 oclock news, and late night 80's movies. Lets take them off too.. O wait. They wouldnt have a channel.

Is it really ignorance, or just a lack of spine?

Out of all of this, i really feel sorry for Mark Magnus(or whatever his name is). He was pretty much set up with a sucessful gimmick that was really good for getting heat. I saw that someone in another thread said that he's really unlikely to get another gimmick as good as this, and its true. So basicly, just because some brain dead morons in an office thought scripted television was offencive, this guy may have lost the chance to be sucessful at what he loves doing. And whats ironic is that the character has been preaching this pretty much the whole time.
