To be honest I don't think John Hall who has written this Article or The Daily Mail actually understand how Storylines in Wrestling actually work, nor does he actually watch Wrestling for that matter. I also think using the Quote 'You blame Russia for the recent current events?', which is what Lana said, is taking what she said which is as we know is scripted way out of context in my opinion, and trying to relate it to MH17, it's just really bad Journalism on the part of John Hall and The Daily Mail.
What makes even worse is that they go into the Background of Lana and how she came to WWE, through here Modelling Career etc, and they also go on to Quote the Muhammad Hassan Character used back in 2005, who portrayed a Middle Eastern Muslim wrestler who would often pray in the ring and speak about prejudice against Arabs - both of which were often greeted by boos. The character came to an end when a controversial 'terrorism' storyline coincided with the 7/7 London bombings, leading television networks to pressure WWE into removing the character.
I would say The Daily Mail are trying to tie the 2 Storylines Together, and using Irrelevant Information here in an attempt to stir things up even more, which makes WWE look Bad.

(21 Jul 2014, 3:41 pm)marxistafozzski Would not surprise me if that is what she is actually referring to, Vince is not bothered about taste in his product, he would stop at nothing, The Muhammed Hassan storyline was similar portraying an al-qaeda/arab sympathiser, Sgt Slaughter becoming an Iraqi Sympathiser in the early 90's.
Lana is probably referring to the Ukraine problem as a whole, which MH17 happens to be part of, but the timing of it is really bad, saying stuff like that days after one of the world's deadliest air crashes is stupid.
The Daily Fail are trying to make it into something it is not, they are actors/entertainers, to me that is like saying a character in the soaps are anti-american/british when they comment in character...
Silly old Daily Fail

(21 Jul 2014, 4:25 pm)AdamY This hits the nail on the head. At the end of the day wrestling is low-brow entertainment. It's carny in every sense of the word. Wrestling should not under any circumstance be considered a cultural critique on any major international event - it's there to make money. And, as wrestling is based on generating conflict, it is that conflict that draws punters in; a tried and tested formula which is unlikely to change as long as wrestling exists.
As for the Daily Mail.
Who cares what they think. The media feeds on conflict as, like wrestling, it helps to sell the product. You can draw a lot of parallels between media and wrestling. Maybe those in glass-houses shouldn't throw stones!

(21 Jul 2014, 10:48 pm)AdamY With all that aggression, he'd be my first choice for top heel in any wrestling promotion. Who needs a Bray Wyatt or a Dean Ambrose when you have Jumpin' Jeff Farmer.
Now, on to some of my favourite promo guys.
One tag team I'd really love to see in WWE at some point is The Briscoes. Not only are they hugely entertaining in the ring, they do some genuinely awesome crazy-ass promos.

Pretty eventful RAW show last night.
Brock Lesnar being selected as Triple H's 'Plan C' to take the title away from John Cena.
Stephanie McMahon being arrested in what some are already describing as 'the segment of the year'.
And, my personal favourite, the apparent resurrection of an old Attitude-era gimmick: The Nation of Domination!!
Apart from being about 6" taller, looking at Harry is like looking at Davey about 25 years ago
Does Harry now wrestle as Davey Jr and has he took on his dad's move set i.e. running powerslam, I have also seen him use the Sharpshooter as well.
I think when Bulldog died, it was the first time I got really upset at the death of someone I did not personally know, it was 5 days after my 20th birthday

(29 Jul 2014, 9:31 pm)AdamY Harry usually wrestles as Davey Boy Smith Jr. nowadays depending on where he's wrestling. As wrestling/touring for New Japan takes up much of his wrestling schedule it is the name you'll generally see him wrestling under.
He does take on elements of his father's moveset but I wouldn't label him as a tribute act. He primarily wrestles in a tag team named K.E.S. (Killer Elite Squad) with fellow WWE outcast Lance Archer. The tag-team is part of a stable named Suzuki-gun led by Minoru Suzuki.

(29 Jul 2014, 9:39 pm)marxistafozzski He seems to be doing ok for himself out in Japan from what I have read...Can you see him coming back into WWE one day?

Reckon TNA have missed a Trick or Two for the Triple Threat Tag Team Match between (The Wolves vs The Hardys vs Team 3D).
A.) It's not for the TNA World Tag Team Championships
B.) Should be a Full Metal Mayhem Match
C.) Should take place at Hardcore Justice rather than on Impact
D.) Match will likely last less than 10 Minutes, Whereas I think it should last around 30 Minutes for it to be a Dream Match/Show Stealer.
To be honest despite TNA losing there TV Deal with Spike TV, Impact has been quite good to watch over the past Month I think, Particularly with the Shows in New York City.

Here's one of the most highly rated matches of New Japan's G1 Climax Tournament and a potential match-of-the-year candidate.
A styles clash of sorts (pardon the pun) between IWGP Heavyweight Champion (New Japan's equivalent to the WWE Heavyweight Champion) AJ Styles and one of my favourite performers, Minoru Suzuki.
I'm not AJ Styles' biggest fan but TNA's loss is New Japan's gain!!
Alberto Del Rio has been Released by WWE due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee. Wonder what has he done for it to warrant his Release.
