The London terrorist attack happened on the same day that the episode of Smackdown aired....which was taped 2 days before. Muhammad Hassan was written off TV when he was powerbombed through the entrance stage 3 days later at the Great American Bash PPV by The Undertaker. Legend says he's still underneath the stage.

[@ElMundoDeHadesOK]

such a shitty move on wwe's part..... really fkn stupid.. Mark didn't deserve that..

[@TheArmase]

That last one had me searching my memory to be sure. Most of that sounded familiar to me. Probably because it was based on multiple real storylines and match details .. so I actually wasn't sure for a few moments. It could have happened like that and I wouldn't have been surprised at all. There were so many crazy stories and matches back then. So great job on that one Daniel!

[@DBToy]

It’s insane how I these questions pretty much outline my whole life’s memories, I know every answer thoroughly because I lived these moments

[@blackbeltbap]

The Eugene character wasn't done entirely in poor taste; the only questionable part was that Nick Dinsmore who portrayed the character wasn't mentally disabled. The character was actually beloved by the mentally disabled community. Nick actually has a youtube channel called "eugene behind the scenes" where he talks about the character; he talks about interactions and letters he received from fans and it gets quite emotional. Note: I know mentally disabled isn't the best term to use, neurodevelopmental disorders aren't entirely a disability, but a better term wasn't coming to me.

[@RobertJW]

He toured the character for years afterwards as U-Gene in indy shows around the world, always as the beloved face.

[@MattThunder7759]

14:00 i just wanna say they didn't air the terriorist segment after the bombings, they aired it on the same day but it wasn't live because smackdown was taped weekly at the time so they could have probably cut it out the show

[@lukegallagher353]

They aired it after, they didn't perform it after. They could have edited it our before it went to air but they didnt.

Yep Perry Saturn had a massive temper, he got mad and messed up a jobber really badly, multiple legit punches and knees to the guys face, they threw him out of the ring and the guy landed on his head because he was knocked out when Saturn threw him out, so as punishment they gave him the mop gimmick to try and embarrass him.

[@zakk219]

The Perry Saturn one isn't completely correct. He wasn't given the Moppy gimmick because he got concussed. He got the gimmick because he legitimately tried to hurt a local enhancement talent in a match after he accidentally dropped him on his head during the match.

[@ds5955]

Yeah but the storyline reason was he was concussed. The real life reason was he was punished. Both are true

[@prodigy616]

13:08, tbf, it was a taped Smackdown before the terrorist attack happened. So it wasn't planed because of the real life situation. ALTHOUGH, there is a very fair argument that WWE should have edited it out of the show after it happened and done something else to fill up the time.

[@jessegifford7913]

Perry Saturn was given the Moppy gimmick as a punishment for shooting in, and legitimately injuring a jobber. Not because he had a concussion

[@Dibab]

i think the concussion was in kayfabe

[@vargsieber]

On the topic of Muhammed Hassan, SmackDown wasn't live back then and the segment was filmed before (or on the day of) the London bombings and before they made him a terrorist the character was actually a pretty good heel who mostly spoke the truth about being discriminated. He was actually an American wrestler with Italian heritage and they could've repackaged him afterwards (could've left him off TV for a few weeks before repackaging him) but instead fired him for something that wasn't his fault.

[@willowfalls7528]

"Someone named Raven..." One of the greatest characters ECW ever had...

[@kingdarius513]

I think the chad guy is wrong he got the mop for shooting on a jobber

[@biggulp8448]

There's a video on KZbin from a former wwe wrestler named Maven, where he and Hassan went through his character and gave more detail as to why they aired the angle with Undertaker.

[@ChrisPayneHBTW]

The terrorist attack actually happened the same day Smackdown was taped. Smackdown used to be taped on Tuesday back in the day and air on either Thursday or Friday. WWE still aired the segment even after the terrorist attack took place.

So, those Tim White videos used to be on WWE's website in 2005 and 2006. I used to watch these at the time as a 9/10 year old. I didn't think much of it at the time. Actually, I don't remember what I was thinking at the time.

there was actually an Underwear wedding on Smackdown in 2003, between Dawn Marie and Al Wilson (the real life father of Torrie wilson)

If you haven't yet seen Chris Hero, you should look him up, he was great in ROH, he had a stint in NXT as Kassius Ohno but frankly that went nowhere. Also Baron Corbin had a great second run in NXT with Bron Breakker, WolfDogs!

[@ww4l]

The terrorist character was misinterpreted. He was meant to represent the hate in our our country, but people flipped out and it became worse that intended.

[@mr.ilikespam6081]

Tim white stuff was funny for absurdity of it like with most of Vince's booking

Id like to submit one: Truth or False: WWE had a RAW energy drink that they sold exclusively at Walmart Answer: Yes, it was Called "RAW Attitude". They sold it thru the attitude era and ruthless aggression era

[@DBToy]

[@ensign926]

I haven't read all the comments, but for the Hassan character, he would quickly get into a angle with John Cena who AA or FU as it was called then the wrestler off the stage a a PPV "killing" the character and the wrestler was released by WWE, and never was hired to wrestler anywhere else. BTW he was of Italian decent and is a teacher in Canada if memory serves correctly. To add the Smackdown show was tapped on a Tuesday to air on Thursday back then meaning it could have been cut..but it was Vince McMahon choice like always.

[@lukegallagher353]

It was taker that killed him off at the next ppv, the great American bash (i think). He never appeared on regular TV again. He was only represented by his lawyer, I believe who went by the name Thomas Whitney. The guy who played the lawyer is now Tomasso Ciampa.

There is a free tier that gets a few free videos every month. Then there's paid tiers that get somewhere around 50+ per month. Unless you're asking about the free 1 month ones that will come from this video, those are one month free for the base tier.

That Muhammad Hassan character actually ruined that guy's whole career. He left the business after that. To make matters worse, in reality, he wasn't even Middle Eastern. He was Italian.

[@nikobaehr3638]

Muhammad Hassan's treatment was so tragic, his character wasn't that of a middle eastern terrorist, he was an Arab American who would call out the prejudices that Arab's were facing in America post 9/11. This would naturally make him one of the biggest heels at the time, and he was great at it. The terrorist attack segment that ended his wrestling career was not only in terrible taste and completely tone deaf, in spite of the events surrounding it, but also was just a move that made no sense for his character in general.

[@ricardoholt]

We liked Shield Roman. Big Dog Roman was shoved down our throats.

[@filikos691]

The Muhammad Hassan one isn't exactly right. Smackdown wasn't live at the time, they taped the show ahead of time and aired it after the attack. He was fired because of pressure from either the UK network Smackdown aired on or the Government. I can't remember which one that one was, but the end result was if he wasn't fired WWE would be fully pulled from TV in the UK. Also, on top of that he isn't even Arab American, he's Italian American. (The real person, not the character)

[@lukegallagher353]

In response to your comments on the Muhammad hassan character, at points prowrestling has thrived on capitalizing on social/cultural/geopolitical issues. Personally, I have no problem with it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. As for hassan, in the time he was GREAT. He was one of the best heels ever. The goal is to be hated as a heel. He was too good of a heel for network TV.

Muhammad Hassan debuted in WWE in 2004, so the submission wasn't entirely correct.

[@chadbrisco4042]

I feel like the person who submitted that might not be familiar with the era so might not know but knows about the terrorist angle. Regardless, the important part is that wwe decided to make him a terrorist which was a dumb idea.

When will wrestling fans be able to separate real life and fiction. So disabled ppl portrayed in films is in poor tatse? Eugene was portrayed as am intelligent, whitty and funny character. The heels, who made fun of him 95% of the time had their comeuppance. He was beloved.
