Snitsky's back acne Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 - There's a lot of speculation among fans that WWE may drop the current storyline with Lana and Rusev after the civilian plane was shot down in East Ukraine last week and the ongoing controversies surrounding Russian President Vladimir Putin. A similar situation happened back in 2005 when WWE nixed the Muhammad Hassan character after the July 7th bombings.Now, this is from LOP.net, so take that's for what it's worth BUT it does raise a good point - what are peoples thoughts? London.

TibBo Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 There are a few reports online that Ricky Steamboat has been released as a road agent from WWE apparently he has a new shoot interview coming soon so I'd say the reports are true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 WWE are mental to keep the storyline going, they would of canned it in 2005 and there's no doubt it's getting canned in 2014. It's a shame though because the segment on RAW was spectacular and over. WWE are mental to keep the storyline going, they would of canned it in 2005 and there's no doubt it's getting canned in 2014.

Captain Wolf Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 WWE will be raging this didn't happen months ago. They could've built Rusev up on the back of it for Cena to take down at Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flangedango Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) If the London Bombings didn't happen, do you think Hassan would have continued as a character? Â A lot of the other wrestlers seemed to really have it out for him though. Not like that would mean the end or anything, maybe the boys would have eventually accepted him once the likes of Bradshaw fucked off. The mid 2000's weren't the greatest time for new guys either because a lot of the old guard were still knockiing about. If he debuted 5 years later he wouldn't of had any problems in the slightest. Â Mike Bucci talks about how rough Hassan had it. 2 minute mark.

If he won the belt in Washington on the 4th of July? Madness.  Good stories though, I would of thought the business is totally different now.

King Pitcos Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I can't see Hassan winning the belt off Batista right when Batista had only been champion a few months and was the new top guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
