I didn't really see what the big deal about it was.

I took it as what it is, entertainment. Yes what happened in London is bad, but the WWE didn't know that shiznit would go down.
Take some comfort in the fact that it could have been worse. Hassan could have blowed up the Undertaker real good. And hey, Meanie beat JBL. That made my night and nothing got me down after that.

What the hell am I missing here???
Davari is booked in a match with UT. Hasaan gets some guys to attack UT and Hasaan gets a beat down on him. They never said they were terrorists. They dont even really look like terrorists. I do not see whats so offensive. If anything it was dumb rather than offensive.
Tell me what I am missing

I believe I may have said this in another thread, but WWE would not have edited the footage even if they had the full ability to. I say this because the entire incident can be viewed on WWE.com right now. WWE has the video online for the world to see, which means that they WANT people to see it. www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/videos/

Actually, London didn't even have the Olympics when they taped it... As for the editing, I refer you to THIS informative article on PWTorch.com. Interesting... And didn't Taz mention that Regal was happy that London got the Olympics?

Tell me what I am missing What you're missing is this: It isn't even what they LOOK like so much as what they are protrayed as...and these guys were portraying terrorists. I posted a bunch of pics on page four of this thread showing this....you have to admit, the similarities are way too close for comfort....

God, some of you people are morons. Yeah, sure they weren't terrorists because they didn't SAY so. And wrestling isn't FAKE because WWE never SAID so, and cause TV never SAID so, you can't possibly know otherwise. I love these people making asses of themselves saying that they weren't supposed to represent terrorists. No, they were boy scouts. Dumb asses.
And WWE has the frickin video up on their site. Just the terrorist spot. So no, they couldn't have edited it out, as by the time the London event happened, UPN already had the film. But they PUT IT ON THEIR FRICKIN WEBSITE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE IT AFTER THE FACT. Take THAT, London!
And to reiterate my first point, there's a lot of morons on this board who think they are great thinkers because they have access to a dictionary. These are the people who will say things like, "Hitler wasn't so bad, he never PERSONALLY killed anyone, he made the autobahn, and kept his uniforms so clean" You people need to be sterlized. There comes a point where niceties such as debate over pissant details can't be afforded.
And people like you were making jokes about 911 within days after the fact. And will do so again because you're dumb asses who can't see anything bigger than your own entertainment. Like the Romans watching Xtians get eaten by lions. Had to feed the lions, right? May you all be the beneficiaries of your entertainment to someone else.
I've been there, I've seen what they do. The smell never leaves your nose. Everytime you pass by some roadkill, you smell the bodies. All the rest of you are morons who think they're badasses because you have rotten.com bookmarked. The only way you'll change is to experience it. And in a horrible way, I hope you do. Just so you'll know what's entertainment and what isn't.
That's just my opinion.

UPN in the United States, in coordination with WWE, put just a scroll across the bottom of the screen three or four times during the show advising parental discretion in letting kids watch the show.
I kept seeing it on the bottom of my screen and didnt realize what they were talking about, until I saw the Hassan segment and realized what was happening. Of course, it would've been controversial with or without the bombings. Hell, Hassan and Daivari are deemed "controversial" just by showing up on TV.

As the board's resident Arab American, I have only this to say: Are we certain that Hassan sent them?maybe the fact that he said that he had a plan right before the match. i would say yeah it was him Good thinking! Hassan is probably on the CIA payroll, and they had probably planned the attack on Taker all along to trample anticipated opposition to the coming of the NWO (wolf pack?) police state. what?

Isn't this the cover of a Radio Birdman album? Or is it the chick on the skateboard from that one Dwarves record? The mystery gets weirder ... As for media torching, how about nobody will cover this at all, except rasslin' websites.

look i have no problem with the hassan gimmick, in being an angered at being stereotyped for being an arab american, in fact that angle could work to calm racial tensions if the booking is changed somewhat. but the whole davari martyr thing dose not sit well with me. i have posted a rant about those who have dissmissed london 07/07 as no big deal and i have no respect for those that agree. but wrestling is just entertainment and i cant say much about what they submitted for tv. what makes me angry is putting it on the internet. i know people who were in that area of london yesterday and it was one of the longest waits of my life to hear that they were ok. so i can understand firsthand why some people are angered or upset from smackdown. but there is no concrete evidence muslim extremists are involved its all speculation at the moment so i still reserve judgement.
