Booking plans for HASSAN had he not been FIRED !!

[Guest nokia]

I just got through reading the latest wrestling observer newsletter for this week and my eyes almost popped out of my head when I read which future "plans" wwe had for Mark Copani (Hassan) had he not been released..

 

According to the observer news letter, and I qoute;

 

"He had refused to return to OVW and refused to go down to Deep South to test out his new gimmick..And the gimmick would have been the "kiss of death" for him anyway..

 

As WWE were going to have him WEAR A MASK AND PLAY A MEXICAN LUCHADOR, with the idea of a hayabusa or Kendo Kashin style mask

 

Then the observer states that "everyone" would know who he was and that they hadn't even thought about covering up his tattoos or even thought through HOW he would wrestle like a mexican luchador....

 

* Any thoughts on this? Not sure if it's in the right folder, but it's sort of wwe news - but feel free to move it to it's rightfull place

Hah, italian boy from the Northeast trained in Louieville works Lucha style. Oh I've got to know who exactly came up with this and what Stephanie thought of it.

The Mr. America 2 idea isn't that bad sounding compared to this tidbit.

That's hilarious because his strength is his interviewing and charisma, not his wrestling. No way he could wrestle lucha style (he can't even wrestle WWE style!)

I could've seen him as the stereotype lucha wrestler, like El Asso Wipo from MadTV - "I BREAK YOUR BACK LIKE THIS!!"

I thought Hassan was one of the better speaking heels in the company. If they had actually worked his gimmick right, he could have been huge. This prove the WWE has no CLUE how to work any gimmicks.

It could of been great if he was a rudo and had a masked midget mascot with him.

[Guest Shark]

He is a very entertaining public speaker

We could have had Mr. Mexico you know.

They should have had him become a manager on RAW, he's a great speaker.

[Guest Brian]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a ploy to get him to quit at that point.

Beside the robotic delievery he was great.

[Guest I miss Test.]

Dress him like a luchador... that means he would have been SD's jobber that loses in 5 seconds to everyone.

 

I really don't get why people praise his speaking skills... very robotlike.

 

The only positive he had was his look.

Damn. If Hassan stayed, we could have seen the return of EL GRAN LUCHADORE~!

Only if they gave him the stache.

Perhaps Hassan and Daviri could have been the reincarnation of Los Conquistadores?
