No More Hassan

[Guest Thrashist]

Rhyno's gimmick would have been more offensive because all of the heat from the crowd would have been directed towards the religion, whereas Hassan leaned more on the ethnic/racial/cultural/national aspect of it all. Well, for the most part, and until that last Smackdown.

It all depends on the individual. Some people might be more offended by the race aspect while others might be offended by the religious aspect.

They couldn't have had him co-headline SS. People were griping about him long before then.

I know that they were, but depending on who you beleived, UT was going to do the job at the GAB. And even if people were griping about him (which they were, and I was one of those people due to the stereotypical crap of the gimmick, not the person doing said gimmick.), it seemed like to me that they were committed to making Hassan a player on Smackdown, giving him a spot in the mythical title match, and giving him significant promo time.

 

Maybe its just me.

Before all the negative press, Hassan was going to face Batista at Summerslam, but he wasn't going to win the belt.

*nods* I figured he would do the job, which is why I said he would merely co-headline. I had no visions of him winning.

I saw Vince on cnbc "Donny Deutsch" ;last night and he claimed that the Hassan character failed cuz of the person portraying him. Interesting spin by Vince huh?
