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.
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
