Hogan Thinks Deaner's Gimmick is Low Budget!

[Jimmy]

Daivari said in an interview the other night that the paycut thing isn't true.

[toodarkmark]

Hogan is right. There is nothing wrong with red neck gimmicks, but Cody Deaner suckkeeddd. Just a horrible, horrible character who made me cringe everytime he talked. Talk about hard to defend a company when something that BAD comes on TV.

And really, all this sudden Bashir love on the IWC. It's amazing how people hate a character until he gets let go, and then it's all love. The evil muslim villain that we should boo is completely lame, tired, and I am happy that backwards thinking left when Jarrett couldn't book his 1989 USWA concept any longer. I love me some evil Russians, but that's just 80's. Period.

If Bashir was a face, I'd be into it, but really, playing into the stereotypes of fear mongering? No thanks. And he really wasn't that good a worker at all. There are tons of guys in the indies who deserve his spot, and can actually bring something new to TNA, rather than 80's re-tread cheap heat.

[Ryushinku]

Hogan's right on this one I think.

[Black Swagger]

Yea Cody Deaner truly adds nothing to the product at all.

And I love the Iron Sheik. And if you read further I would have said I love me some evil Russians, but that's just 80's. The point is that type of cheap heat is passe in today's wrestling world. Didn't work in the WWE, didn't work in TNA.

Mohammed Hassan says hi.

So does Team Canada.

Hassan had a very negative end to his career, if I remember correctly. Learn from mistakes. I'm not usually one to care, but having a muslim villain now days is exploitative and in poor taste. Once again if he were a face, or a muslim who happened to be a heel, that's fine. But to constantly push the muslim stuff? Sophomoric at best in today's world.

Canadians hating America, English hating America, these things are fine. It's not like a Brit national brought powder with him on a plane a few days before Christmas to blow it up. To play on that, it's just cheap.

And the Cold War isn't?

[Parrish]

actually comparing Hillbilly Jim and Cody Deaner??

[Mongo & Pepe: Back in Black]

I find it hard to believe that SHAWN DAIVARI had a six figure contract.

Sure it was, just count the two after the decimal point ;D

[sabu]

I can't stand Deaner's look and "charisma."

[SAJ Forth]

Of course he's low budget. His gear is from dumpsters, it costs $30
