Isn't on of his moves called the 'WMD, Weapon of Mass Destruction'?
I'd say a little bit too much, I think it was played off better when he was with Hasaan IMO.

I agree, Hassan was never full blown terrorist until the end of his WWE run when they really crossed the line... I liked Hassan because it was more of an assumed Terrorist gimmick from the racist bungholes in the WWE and the fans... Daivari in TNA is just far too blatant to be bareable... |

I don't have a problem with any of it. I prefer this approach over the cartoonish sheik characters we usually get. I hope TNA pushes the envelope further with this character.

Just another negative stereotype to add to a pile of negative stereotypes in TNA. They've got Raisha Saeed walking around in a full burqa, Booker T sippin cristal and drinking hennessy, and Kip James fagging it up a notch with The Beautiful People, quite frankly I'm surprised Daivari......erm, Sheik Abdul Jafar or whatever the they named him hasn't hijacked an episode of Impact! At knifepoint yet. |

Oh my god...September 11 is a Thursday this year... "To the back!, where Sheik Abdul Bashir is flying a plan into Titan Towers!" As an American and a wrestling fan who can remember 9/11, I tried really hard not to laugh at this. |

People have died from car explosions... People have died from stage malfuctions... Noone was up in arms when Vince blew up in a limo/when the screen fell on him weeks after the guy passed away from falling off a scaffold at Slammiversary. It's a two way street. |

But its WAY diffrent when your talking about a terroist! No one who has died from car explisions and stage malfuctions has changed the wrold! 911 changed the world forever and is nown as a dark day and to promote it is ing wrong. |

So, someone getting blown up by a car explosion in Iraq during the war is diffrent how? It's not if you ask me. |

Yes it's way diffrent people go to Iraq to go to war and help the USA they have the choice to go. People on 911 were on a plane going on vaction or coming back they did nothing. At least people in Iraq know that they have a high chance of dieing. So yes it is diffrent. Z |

I'm not defending it at all. I'm just saying there have been some of the same stuff in other wrestling promotions and people weren't up in arms but you hear a plane and it fades into his music you freak out about it crashing. I don't get where it "crashed" it just faded into his music *shrugs*
