In my opinion, the WWE should treat Zayn's heritage the same way they treated Darren Young's sexual orientation, by not making a big deal about it. You mean by not mentioning it at all? Ever? |

Insert serious Muslim babyface joke here. Serious gay Muslim babyface? But I really like this idea. It would be HUGE for getting him over if followed to the letter. Everyone would know who he is, what he does, and what he stands for. He'd have something most characters in the company don't have: an identity. |

Awful idea. Why would someone be offering him Pork backstage in the middle of the show lmao Maybe it would be Daniel Bryan? Bacon is his passion, afterall.  |

The guy looks like a freakin irish!! They should give the gimmick to Sheamus, pretending he found god and converted to islam during his recovery. I'm guessing people are just going to ignore the fact there are white people born Muslim. It reminds me of people being annoyed that Jinder Mahal wore a turban because he's not Muslim, and only Muslims wear turbans right? Actually, India has a heavy Sikh populartion, and many Sikh's do wear turbans. You can't call out WWE ignorance when you're really just exhibiting your own. |

Why not have him be a face? You know, the Muslim version of religious HBK? It doesn't need to be overt, challenge perceptions in a positive way, no need for the evil foreigner every time. Which is exactly what I said in the OP. This to me is one of the problems with it (other than I just don't think it's a good gimmick): eventually, presumably, he's going to turn heel. If his identity is established as a Muslim, and his entire character and gimmick is based on that from the time he arrives in the company, what do you do with him when he turns heel? Ignore his religious preference? No, you can't, and I don't think WWE wants to go the route of having a heel who people -- rightly are wrongly -- are going to boo in large part BECAUSE he's a Muslim. Guy has WAY too much talent to need this to get over, or to waste on something that has a very good chance of not working. Next thing you know someone will suggest taking this Irish-looking Canadian and turning him into a generic Mexican luchadore.  |
