Si82 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Once again Vince McMahon and WWE proves that they are the masters of bad taste programming. If the attacks had happend in America I bet the segment would have been chopped but becuase it was the UK it wasn't. Good job in fucking off some of your most loyal fans Vince. Why would he want to piss off an area where they still your to sold out crowds? Fuck you Vince McMahon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ced 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I just realised, Daivari doesn't have an actual finisher yet. Maybe they should give him the Lionsault. They could call it The Al-Quebrada. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's brilliant yet so very wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scroby 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I'm just wondering, if the London bombing didn't happen would you people be this offended? I wasn't offended at what happen because....ITS WWE! WWE does stupid shit like this all the time to gain attention. We all have seen it, the "gay" wedding, the Katie Vick thing. WWE did it to gain attention. Now I'm not saying their playing off what happen in London because this was taped on Monday and what happen in London happen on Wednesday morning and hell I didn't even find out about it till after Smackdown had aired and I saw the Hassan thing, it still didn't offended me. We all have to remember this is Vince/Hollywood writers/Stephanie/and the WWE....STUPID CRAP LIKE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME! I would have the bet if the bombing happen on Friday night, a lot of people who are "offended", wouldn't be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Well, I read the spoilers and, AGAIN, this doesn't 'offend' me so much because I know what to expect from the WWE. But the London bombings have nothing to do with how much of an abortion the segment was, both from social stance AND from a wrestling, character development stance.

JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Once again Vince McMahon and WWE proves that they are unable to edit a tape to better suit events that happen after it is already sent out. If the attacks had happend in America, the show probably wouldn't have gone on, and if it had, there wouldn't have been jack shit they could do about it anyway. Good job not being telepathic, Vince. Why would he want to run a segment after that, and not even editting it with his mind, because it had already been sent out, and all they could do was a disclaimer? Fuck you, obviously-not-psychic Vince McMahon. Editted to what, if you knew the truth and yet said that anyway, probably would have been said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Anyone who was offended by the segment either (A) didn't see it or (B) is way too oversensitive. I'll admit, I was shocked when I read the spoilers and saw one pic of the segment (although I wasn't offended) but seeing it on TV, it was tame compared to a lot of stuff. People need to stop being whiny little bitches. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I'm just wondering, if the London bombing didn't happen would you people be this offended? I don't see how the London bombing is relevant, considering how Hassan has been portrayed up to this point, as well as how Hassan's & Daivari's segments were played last night.

Besides, would it really be such a hard thing to edit the tape? As for if America had been attack Vince would have not had that segment on the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's already a thread for the London/Terrorist/Undertaker angle. Some things I'd like to talk about- -bWo -Christian in the same spot on SD as he was on RAW -Benoit in the US Title Picture?

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I believe by the time the London attacks happened, the tape was already with UPN. So it was in their hands to edit it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 People need to stop being whiny little bitches. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? Actually, being a whiny little bitch here is exercising your freedom of expression. Just because you do something, doesn't mean you are exempt from criticism of your actions. What you are probrably opposed to is someone expressing criticism of something you like and are only for freedom of expression as long as the sentiments are agreeing with you. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Even unpopular opinion comes under the freedom of expression umbrella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notJames 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Just to digress from the topic at hand, I found it absolutely hilarious how M-M-M-Matt Morgan was unceremoniously ousted from WW_ by the Mexicools. One week he was a giant-killing F5 machine, next he's manhandled and thrown out the door by a bunch of green-card landscaping midgets. Awesome. So long, Hoss #OU812. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord sp-sp-sp-split ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
