Imagine if Hassan returned today and called out HOGAN on his bigotry and racism in American???
MEGA BABYFACE HEAT.
Maybe he was right all along in his feud with Hogan.

Amazing character.
He could get heat simply from the first notes of his theme music.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAA"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Has he ever even been in anything since he was going to Hollywood after the character was killed off. He has literally fell of the face of the earth.

Tons of potential, but he needed more experience and a more, umm, humble attitude (according to Holly and Bradshaw...)

The character had a pretty clear shelf life. He was decent-good on the mic with a good look, but nothing special in the ring honestly. I mean he was fine, but I've never, ever agreed with the whole wasted potential thing.

I still have his action figure, I want to know why Daivari was looking down at his hand in his tron though?

The heat he got was nuts. I remember the Rumble he came out, the boos were massive to the point you can barely make out the music. I loved how once he entered, both face and heel alike just proceeded to beat the holy hell out of him.
That theme was amazing,too. Shame it never got a proper release.

Hassan (and Daivari) had tons of potential but there really was no good way to move beyond it. It was a topical gimmick that had a very finite shelf life. Leave the "straight from the headlines" stuff to the CSI type shows. I prefer my wrestling (and entertainment in general) to be an escape from that kind of thing.

It would have had a long shelf life had WWE simply booked a radical Islamic faction for the last 10 years. Would have made tremendous heels, but the "walk-on-ice" attitude in WWE made it impossible.

The eventually babyface turn would be great too. He can turn many simple ways. Does he drink a beer with Austin? Does he save Foley from a Evolution beat down? Does he insult Triple H for being a racist because he insulted Booker T. years ago. Does he challenge Kurt Angle, because HE unlike Kurt, is a REAL AMERICAN. Just a few options.

I figure Captain America fights against HYDRA (terrorists), GI JOE fights against COBRA (terrorists).
Cena could have fought against JIHAD (or G-HADD if Vince wanted to trademark), led by Hassan.
It shouldn't have offended Mattel. They already produce toy guns big enough to make Chuck Norris piss himself.

Yeah according to a lot of people, he was so naive to the business that he got a lot of heat when he got up to the main roster. A lot of it was jealousy of him getting a push though, but this is where you see where some pettiness comes from the old locker room.
A vet told Hassan to protect his finisher (camel clutch) and told him to tell Eddie Guerrero to stop using it. Hassan did so and Eddie got pissed because his dad invented the move, and because Eddie got pissed it got Hassan on the bad side of a lot of other people.

My guesses for "the vet" a) Kurt Angle b) Shawn Michaels c) Chris Benoit d) JBL e) Booker T

The problem was Hassan's original character made the fans the heel. And the fans didn't like that.

Hassan vs Big Poppa Pump in a debate would have sent ratings through the roof.

That guy f***ing sucked. I'll never understand why anyone liked him. Couldn't wrestle, terrible promos, phony charisma. He was all gimmick. Without the Arab thing, he's just another Eric Escobar.
