Muhammad Hassan Character in doubt.

According to the WWE website, after the SmackDown show aired on TV on the same day as the London Bombings, that showed Muhammad Hassan 'praying' and causing Undertaker to be beaten down by a gang of 'terrorists', WWE.com in a statement has said "SmackDown is unsure if the character will continue after the Great American Bash"

If they do kill off the character it will be unfortunate, as Muhammad Hassan is an extremely talented wrestler, and that character would have gone far in the business.
It might be an angle that has been pushed to death over the last decade, but there was enough general hatred against the bloke that he would have made a great champion heel.

hmm interesting
he is too talented not to be on TV so i guess they'll repackage him... but to what?

They could always switch him back to RAW. It's only UPN (the guys who air Smackdown in the US) who have a problem with him.

I think they'll have to find him a new Character for him...maybe resurrect the FBI with Nunzio considering both he and Daivari are actually Italian!

They could always turn him face by having him damn the terrorist attacks and turn on Daivari...

I think it's an over reaction by UPN.
It's a little hard to comment on the incident not having actually seen what happened after 'taker tombstoned Davairi. But they were very unlucky with the timing of it.

Also they have had plenty of other pretty tastleless angles of late. The final SD Kurt Angle plotline comes to mind. As does the MnM comment with regards to the deceased Road Warrior tag partner.

Yes I was thinking for him to damn the terrorist attacks as well, but then he might be targeted for real.

The mail is that he will be traded to RAW following the GAB, which gives you a good indication who will win that match!

Which guarantees an absolute snorefest at Summerslam. Undertaker hasn't worked a good match in years, and Batista's not the kind of worker who can carry someone else. Same goes for JBL. All three are the 'carried'

Yeah I'm thinking this situation needs either Randy Orton to return or even moving HHH to smackdown

even moving HHH to smackdown

HHH isn't exactly the man to carry matches either. Guys like Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, or Christian can 'carry' poor wrestlers to good matches. Triple H can make someone look good, but only in a straight up brawl (something like Hell in a Cell). Guys like Taker, Batista, JBL, Kane, and Show are the carried.

Their's a couple of ways out of this for the WWE.
After the bash they could have Batista squash Hassan on the SD show after (If UPN allows it of course - which they might as part of a compromise).
Alternately they have the Title match on Velocity (Not sure if UPN does velocity or not).
As a last resort their is the house show match. Unusual I know but it is a very unusual circumstance.
Gives them time to build up another contender for Summerslam.

Finally of course Undertaker beats Hassan and and do the Batista V Taker match on SD! keeping the possibility of Taker V Orton for SS.

I think that a Orton vs Taker vs Batista match is possible now.

It looks like Undertaker's Last Ride, which saw Hassan dropped through a hole at the top of the ramp to 'exposed concrete' will be his 'death'. Way for the WWE to endorse racial predjudice and capital punishment
