Muhammed Hassan

[bigmack]

Do you guys think the whole situation could potentially be a work? That Hassan will be coming back after the GAB PPV? I mean look what WWE has been pulling lately.It wouldnt surprise me one bit if this indeed was a work. Voice your opinion

 

[Illuminattile]

No. UPN don't like the character and, rightly or wrongly, have told WWE not to bring him back on Smackdown. Current plans are, and I quote, for WWE to "kill off" the Hassan character on tonight's PPV. What they're gonna do with Mark Magnus and Shawn Daivari I don't know, I just hope they don't lose their jobs.

I posted a bunch of stuff about the Hassan character on another board, once that's up again I'll repost it here.

I still stand by my theory. I mean,Vince has never bowed down to media pressure. I dont see how this can be different. Have you seen the pole on WWE.com asking which match are you looking the most forward to seeing. The hassan/taker match has the most votes. Vince aint getting rid of someone that makes him alot of money because of fuckin 200 complaints.

 

[Stone_Cold]

Its fucked up and I hope its a work. I hope that the fans make their voices heard tonight and stand up to this bullshit. It would be cool as hell if Hassan got a face reaction tonight cos the guy has worked his ass off in the role and done a great job.

I wouldn't say Hassan "makes [Vince] alot of money", people are only looking forward to that match (assuming the poll wasn't rigged, like they usually are) is because they want to see 'Taker kill Hassan.

What they should do is put him on RAW and have him play up the UPN controversy. Fits his "persecuted" gimmick perfectly.

what's funny is that this whole situation fucked up WWE's original plans for the GAB. According to wrestlezone.com, Hassan was going to win tonight with help from Randy Orton, and face Batista at Summerslam. I guess that plan is out the window. From what I understand, they will send him down to OVW for the time being, and they will repackage him, I don't think he'll lose his job. I feel sorry for Daivari though, what are they going to do with him?

That sucks for Hassan, i was just getting into the charachter also.

Hassan comes out first. If this is the end of Hassan I’m going to miss the theme music. Seriously, I love it. He’s being carried out by the masked men while he’s kneeling on a red chair. I guess he’s their God or something. Sign in the crowd: “RIP Hassan 7-24-05.” Could have a double meaning, huh? Hassan cuts a promo. “If I cannot defeat Undertaker tonight I will not show my face on Smackdown again. I will be back at Smackdown. I will be your number one contender. At Summerslam, I will be come world heavyweight champion and fulfill my destiny as the first Arab American champion in WWE history. I left Undertaker beaten and bloody in the middle of this ring. As an Arab American, I know about sacrificed. I sacrificed Daivari, I sacrificed my lawyer, and I know I have what it takes to beat the Undertaker.” Then he says some more that’s too fast for me to meet. “After I beat the Undertaker I will be forever known as the great Muhammad Hassan.” Undertaker time, so I can rest during the entrance. Daivari’s out on the floor along with five masked men, who are now all around the ring. Should be interesting to see what happens considering all the Hassan rumors.

Undertaker pounds on him to start with his usual punches, then works on the left arm. Old School clothesline time for Undertaker. Hooks the head and arm for the Flatliner type move for just two. The ref admonishes Taker for beating on Hassan in the corner, Undertaker stares him down, he charges into Hassan and Daivari pulls him out of the way. Undertaker to the floor where the “sympathizers” beat on him on the floor. I guess I have to type sympathizers every time. Yay. In the ring, boot to the throat for Hassan and a sympathizer chokes Undertaker. Hebner just tried to sell sympathizer merchandise! Fire him! Sorry, can’t help the jokes. Hassan with a DDT, then a chinlock. Undertaker fights back, they throw punches and Undertaker punches him hard, knocking him down so his legs collapse under him. Undertaker to the floor, he punches down a sympathizer. Another sympathizer chokes Undertaker with the wire, then he gets thrown back into the ring. Hassan signals for the camel clutch and sinks it in, but Undertaker fights out by getting to his feet and drops back with the Electric Chair Drop. He charges Hassan in the corner with a clothesline, then another one. Sympathizer in ring eats boot. Snake eyes, then another sympathizer eats boot, Undertaker knocks down Hassan, hits another sympathizer and ANOTHER one with punches. Why is this not a DQ? Nobody knows. Hassan with a boot to the gut, Undertaker counters. Chokeslam. One, two, three. That’s it? Match was 9 minutes.

Winner: The Undertaker

Post match, Undertaker gets beat on by all the dudes. Then he basically kills all of the sympathizers. One of them goes into the steps, another takes the throat killer with the steel chair. Another gets a chokeslam, another gets thrown onto the Spanish table. In ring, Hassan shoves Daivari into Undertaker, who dispatches of Daivari by throwing him to the floor. The dude with the wire comes in now and eats a Tombstone. Undertaker out on the floor whips Daivari head first through the bottom of the Smackdown announce table. Ouch. Hassan is crawling up the stage for some reason. Why can’t he walk? Because it’s wrestling. Undertaker has killed six guys so far. Chokeslam on the steel ramp for Undertaker. Undertaker takes one of the steel plates out of the ramp, then he takes another one out. Powerbomb time, Last Ride through the stage. Goodnight Hassan. UPN wins. He just went over seven guys. Talk about being put over strong. After a replay, they show Hassan laying on top of a pipe that’s on concrete. Whoever pulled the mats away did it quickly.

They replayed the powerbomb about a hundred times before showing him lying there on the concrete.

I was convinced one of the masked "sympathisers" was just gonna RKO 'Taker, do the pose and unmask as Orton, but no. I also kind of expected a Lesnar return during that match or the main event, but againa, nothing.

damnit me too lol.batista and JBL have been mentioning brock lesnar alot lately in interviews,so i figured he would end up showing up. i guess he should show up at sumerslam then.

Teddy Long said he doesnt want Hassan on SmackDown! no more

 

[Illuminattile]

"For the past month, Muhammad Hassan has been at the center of a media firestorm. From CNN to USA Today, headlines are all talking about Muhammad Hassan's controversial mission to become the world champion. At the Great American Bash, Muhammad Hassan said that if he did not defeat the Undertaker and become the number one contender, that he would never again appear on SmackDown. We all saw what happened at the Great American Bash. Mr. Hassan is a beaten man - physically and emotionally, with all of his injuries. Now, Mr. Hassan, if you're thinking about coming back to SmackDown...we don't want you, playa. You can go to RAW, or you could go anywhere else on this planet, but as far as I'm concerned, you can go to hell!"

He's in OVW at the moment, though, and I imagine he'll be getting a new character. He could always come back and say "You didn't want Muhammed Hassan on your show, so now you've got Mark Magnus/whatever". He needs a new gimmick that doesn't play off his race, though. Something to make people forget about the whole "persecution" gimmick.

Or they'll package him with a gimmick like...this.

Just curious, but why do you call him Mark Magnus? His real name is Mark Copani, and what's really funny is he's Italian, not of Middle Eastern descent at all, although he was born in Amman, Jordan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Copani OK nevermind, I didn't realize he used that name in OVW.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up on Raw with the Hassan character, remember it was UPN that had a problem with it, and when Raw goes back to USA network they will be able to get away with a lot more stuff than they can now. After reading the letter from Teddy Long, and the fact he specifically mentioned Raw, leads me to believe that that's where he will end up.

Yeah, he used that name in OVW and in the indies prior to getting a WWE contract.

That's what makes me think he'll go to RAW, I don't think Long would have mentioned RAW if that wasn't the plan. That said, all other evidence points to an extensive repackaging of him as another 'character'.

 

[bigmack]

I hope he goes to raw as Muhammed Hassan,I'd hate for him to have lost that character.

lmao at the hassanator.
