I just hope that they eventually bring him back because I liked the character and I always looked foward to seeing him. I almost got to see him but the SD I went to was the first one after GAB.

I think that the whole UPN deal had something to do with what Vince said. Like you said if they spoke bad of UPN they could make some trouble for the WWE. But I also think that Vince was referring to where they tried to get Mark Copani to go to OVW and he wouldn't. My personal opinion is that the WWE was thinking about bringing back the Hassan character in the near future but for the mean time they were going to send Copani to train in OVW and get some more experience. When Copani refused I think the WWE just said enough with this guy. I know his departure was "mutually" agreed upon but if he didn't report to OVW like WWE wanted him to I think the WWE just decided he didn't have a place in WWE anymore. So I think it is partly Copani's fault.

I agree that Copani should have reported to OVW(I thought it was DSW he was sent to?) so that he could avoid getting rusty while WWE waited till it was ok to bring him back. I am still hoping he will be brought back eventually.

I am pissed though, why didn't they just have him traded to Raw? I'm sure Spike TV/USA Network would be more leniant about the character than those idiots at UPN, Hassan looked like he was being pushed into main event status. I still can't believe that UPN told them to get rid of his chacter just because of the terroritst attacks in London.

I don't really know where they were wanting to send him. I was referring to this post that said OVW.
