"May your shit come to life and kiss you on the face." - Frank Zappa to Tipper Gore -
Was that Hassan column written by Eugene?
Paragraph 1: While Vince McMahon is a very rich man he could not purchase the UPN network or even afford to piss off Viacom since all his TV programming is on their networks.
Paragraph 2: He wasn't booed because of his Arab heritage. He was booed because he was calling everyone a racist.
Paragraph 3: All the examples of non-American wrestlers have been of those that either tried to burn the American flag or said in their ring intros USA pfft, phooey. How should the American fans react to this. There have been many examples of foreign born wrestlers that were faces at one time or another including: Bret Hart, The British Bulldog and even Nikolai Koloff
Par 4: What is the United States of American? Secondly, while they do business internationally, they are an American based company and are selling American culture to the international audiences.
Par 5: It is customary that at the home of a sporting event, that nation's anthem is sung. At WM6, Rene Goulet sang O Canada because the event was in Canada. The Super Bowl is broadcast internationally and the Star Spangled Banner is sung at the Super Bowl.
Par 6: Go back to paragraph 4. Your argument is the same as saying that since the BBC is broadcast internationally why do they feature things only the British care about
Par 7: In the Hassan case I agree with you but how many times have real issues been involved like in this instance.
Par 8: ????? The people weren't booing Mark, they were booing the character he was portraying. I can't understad the point being made here.
Par 9: Of course the longer you type the longer it gets. The first really valid point made so far.
Par 10: Why haven't you seen it yet? This point will be important later on.
Par 11: It wasn't all over the place and actually took several days for the story to really gain steam. The British press did the right thing in reporting on the real terrorist attacks instead of a program on American TV. What's the point you're trying to make? The only links to the London bombings the American press made were to the date of broadcast. Additionally, how do you know how the incident was portrayed on TV if you haven't seen it yet? Were the associates really Muslims. No and they don't have to be to portray Muslims on TV. However, their acting convinced most normal people that they were fellow Muslims and were supporting Hassan and the actions they were portraying were the same that are used by Muslim Terrorists in their terror videos.
Par 12: I can't comment on this becuase it did not air in America.
Par 13: ???? First you complain that he was the dead man character so he could kill Hassan. Then you complain he was the All-American biker character. I don't seem to remember UT being 2 different characters that night.
Par 14: How did Americans embarass themselves by this? The blame for killing off the character belong to Viacom. I don't know how you can blame a whole country for the actions of a company that killed off a fictional character. That would be the equivalent of me saying that England should be embarassed that a (non-spoiler alert) character in the new Harry Potter book was killed off.Comment

You know, that is exactly how I feel... Hassan was a damn GRATE charcater, and a pretty good wrestler. What happened was nothing short of embarrassing (as is stated throughout the article).Originally posted by Soul Reaper

WRESTLING COLUMNS
Hassan Killed Off: Unjustified
August 15, 2005 by Jim Wilson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
America embarrassed themselves with this. The destroyed a perfectly good character, and killed him off, and why? Because of his Arab-descent. WWE, Hassan, the writers, none of them were at fault here, who was? America, and the American people.
And yet they keep Hulk Hogan...
he can't even JUMP anymore. Putting him up against Shawn Michaels as they are is VERY insulting to Shawn. He'll have to slow down his pace to keep up with that old mummy... and after the shows Michaels offered us with Kurt Angle and Shelton Benjamin how the hell is he gonna stand still and wait for Hogan to mosey on down to his corner of the ring and beat 'em up?
Take a fat paperback to read while you're wrestling with Hogan, Shawn... friend's advice. It'll keep you from getting bored.
Cheers! :bottle:Comment

I bet I can name 6 that have not made "jumping" a part of their routine. :D

OK, who wants to make some predicitions for Sunday? The matches are as follows:
1 - Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels
2 - WWE Title: John Cena vs Chris Jericho
3 - World Heavyweight Championship: Batista vs JBL in a no holds barred match
4 - US Title: Orlando Jordan vs Chris Benoit
5 - Ladder Match for Custody of Dominick: Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio
6 - Matt Jardy vs Edge
7 - Kurt Angle vs Eugene
8 - Undertaker vs Randy Orton
My predicitions are as follows:
1 - HBK wins because a bad guy has to win a big match at the show. Of course he cheats some how and Hulk will come back for revenge when season 2 of Hogan Knows Best comes out.
2 - Cena keeps the belt & this feud ends really quickly as it has been announced that the next PPV main event is Cena vs Angle
3 - Batista keeps the belt and this hopefully ends JBL headlining Smackdown PPV's. I also refuse to believe that HHH will lose to Batista 3 times in a row on PPV only to let him job out to JBL a month later
4 - Benoit wins the title to bring some prestige back to the title. This will probably lead to a feud for the title between Benoit & JBL.
5 - Eddie Guerreo wins becuase he lies, cheats, and steals. Plus this feud can keep on going for several more months as Rey tries to get custody of Dominick back.
6 - It would be funny if Edge got the win & Matt was fired the next night; but I think this ends in a double DQ and the feud keeps on going to the next PPV
7 - Somehow Eugene is going to keep the medals but will lose the match as Angle goes beserk. He'll probably regain the medals on Raw the next night and be seen as a mean heel in time for his match with Cena
8 - Orton must win this to set up the rubber match between the two and makes Orton a viable contender when he tries to gain revenge on Batista for the shoulder injuryComment

When is HHH coming back?
He`s been gone more than a month.
I think he`ll walk straight into a feud with Cena for the belt.sigpic

I'm thinking HHH doesnt want to share the spotlight with Hogan....
Yeah, I wouldnt be surprised if he came back and took the belt off Cena....Diamond Mafia Forever - 4.

this will be the first time in a long time for me NOT ordering one of the BIG 4 PPV's. I want to see Hogan/Michaels to see who'll interfere and how Hogan/Michaels work with each other. I also want to see if Edge and Hardy are going to "fight" or "wrestle". I'd be pissed if they "lock up, collar and elbow"...Because that's not a fight. I think this is the worst time in wrestling, creativly speaking. Everything else on the card does nothing for me. "custody papers dangling from the ceiling-Ladder match?" Jesus Christ, Im embarrassed to be a wrestling fan. Id like to see Vince make it real, kick ass, like UFC but keep the characters and promo/interviews for match hype. The days of "Hulkamania","Attitude", "Crash" and "Highspots" are done... Let's make them really kick the shit out of each other!!!"FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN' BITCH! WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ANYWAYS? TALK TO ME LIKE THAT? FUCK YOU. DRAG QUEEN LOOKIN' WHORE- YOU AINT SHIT. YOUR THE FRECKLE TO THE LEFT OF MY BROWN EYE.
