Did 9/11 attacks effected WWE show?

It wasn't their call. UPN (the latter being the station that used to air Smackdown back in the day) were receiving so much hate-mail over the character that they pressured WWE to get rid of him. USA were getting hate-mail over it as well back when Hassan was still on the Raw brand.

The pussification of society (or at least of a select number of people) led to the character's demise. Shame, as it was originally planned to have him challenge Batista for the WHC at Summerslam the following month in Washington DC of all places. Would have loved to have seen that mega heat.

Agreed. I know it pissed people off but that's the point, he's supoosed to do that. Be the major heel. It's wrestling folks, not real life, their job is to create controversy.

It would have been interesting to see how they would have handled the tag team "the twin towers" if they were still around on Sept 11.
