The Hassan gimmick had great potential and at first it looked like they were going really interesting places with it. Then they just decided to make him a terrorist and that was that.

If Davari had the size Vince liked then he could have done wonders with that gimmick.
I loved the gimmick because it was so smart then started to lose interest when he just flat out became a terrorist. Davari was so awesome on the mic and is still great in the ring but his size held him back unfortunately.
Really miss those guys a lot.

Could have been one of the most innovative stories ever told in wrestling. A story told right, that made us all look at our biases and prejudice could have been the thing to get WWE some mainstream press and actually legitimized WWE as a relevant form of entertainment. But you know Vince, he always finds a way to trip over his dick.

Never should have put him on SmackDown. Taking him from cable to network opened up the gates that lead to his downfall.
He was perhaps the most justified in his anger heel the WWE has ever done, but although justified, doesn't change the fact he was a massive asshole to everyone.
A real interesting character, and one that could have had some legs to it.

Probably one of the greatest gimmicks WWE ever came up with...initially.
Of course, they can't help but try to run full speed with things when clearly he was doing enough to get heat without going full blown terrorist.
Yeah, he wasn't a great wrestler, but his character and the level of heat he got superceded all of that. Personally speaking, I would have strapped the rocket to him all the way since I truly felt they could have made MAJOR money off him.

Was the guy in the supermarket promo suppose to be the third man with Hassan and Daivari? He did nod in approval of the speech Hassan agreed about not being held down ever again!!!!!!!!!
Who was the 3rd guy in the promo?

I don't believe this even aired. It did. I still remember watching it in my room. It opened my eyes at the time.
