Re: Mohammed Hassah (sp)

I don't think this is bad though, I mean in the 80's we had Sgt. Slaughter and the Iron Shiek...then again I'm not a PC nut, I don't get offended easily.

Right. I was waiting for someone to bring this up.

There's a difference b/w taking a stance in a war and using it for a gimmick. It's been done numberous times. But my whole point is his gimmick revolves around 9/11. 9/11. That day is without the doubt something that's above the line of being "PC" or not.

It's similar to those gamemakers trying to make money off of the attacks by recreating them. It's disgusting. It's one of those things you just "don't do."

Trust me, PC isn't that big a deal with me. Eugene cracks me up. I wasn't affected by 9/11, really. But I'd never make light of it, and that's what taking it and making it an angle for a wrestler is doing.

Just my .02.

I get your point, and agree to some extent. However, there are people out there who think using a war as a wrestling angle would be belittling what the troops fighting are doing...

On a side point (and let's not get this to fire up a lockable debate), what Hassan's saying is a valid point. He's saying it in a heelish way, but it is there. I've heard it from various people, so maybe this could bring a pretty serious point to the minds of WWE fans. That's a big reach though, a very big reach.

Re: Mohammed Hassah (sp)

I'm not terribly offended with the 9/11 remarks, but I wish they could do without them. I live in NY, right outside NYC and lost a few acquaintances in the towers, but I'm realistic and understand what the WWF is trying to do.

I just wish he'd say "since 2001" instead of "since 9/11". 2001 would make people get the picture without saying the magical 9/11 that envokes so many horrible memories.

I wonder if WWF purposely started him off with almost babyface-like promos to ease people in. The first promo he did, I was thinking to myself "Man, he's the nicest heel I've ever seen!", and then he really started laying into the prejudice angles.
