Shawn Daivari

JD Dominick, who came up with the finish for the tag title match at WrestleMania? I loved it.

Daivari, actually.

No, I don't think so.

Daivari, the f- it was one of the first things he said to me when he told us about the match and everything.

I- I thought it was actually Dawson, and it's- it's a fucking, it's a Bret Hart diesel from Survivor Series finish.

It's Bret Hart diesel 100%, but I think unless Dawson saw Daivari before Daivari saw us, I mean, Daivari saw, Daivari was one of the first people that even knew the match was happening and what was-

Yeah

... going on, and he was the producer.

Hmm.

AJ pinned Sheik Abdul Bashir with the Styles Clash.

Then, this is funny.

This is one of the funny parts here.

Okay.

Pretty high rated, but it was pretty good.

And in third place was Sheik Abdul Bashir versus Williams versus Creed for the X Division title at 11 votes.

And is there any...

Yeah.

But is Sheik Abdul Bashir versus Consequences Creed a big enough X-Division match for Bound for Glory?

Well, I think what I'm doing more so is leaning into the pro-USA versus anti-USA deal.

Yeah, that does work, though, unfortunately.

And we're back.

oh yes oh okay

this makes sense so remember when referee shane sewell and sheik abdul bashir got into it that is why cornet has put bashir into this match because it was oh because

he cost him the mat oh jesus christ

So, the September 4th, 2008 episode of Impact featured the following matches.

He saw Consequences Creed defeat Sheik Abdul-Bashir in 3 minutes and 35 seconds.

He earned his chance to face Petey Williams for the X Division title at No Surrender.

Now, that match was restarted after the referee was told by the fans that Sheik Abdul-Bashir had his feet on the ropes.

And then Creed ended up winning, and then Bashir and referee Shane Sewell got into a little bit of a fight.

And I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some kind of exhibition match with them at some point, because the fans were loving it.

He's inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, class of 05, obviously very deserved.

The night before Mania 21, then at Mania 21, he appears after Muhammad Hassan and Daivari attack Eugene and not to help them attack Eugene.

Hogan makes the save.

I'm finally watching, guys.

Okay.

Muhammad

Hassan, Daivari, Eugene.

Those are my guys.

X Division title matches get 10 seconds now.

[laughs] They had to cut Sheik Abdul Bashir's match.

[laughs] Yeah.

Cut that title match just...

Oh my God.

[laughs]

Yeah, cut Sheik Abdul Bashir's match.

What the fuck?

Brian Kendrick and Paul London beat Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin.

Cody Rhodes and Mickie James beat Daivari and Jillian Hall.

and Triple H beat Carlito and Ohmaga in a two on one handicap match.

But with all due respect to Ohmaga, Carlito, Hunter, Jillian, Daivari, Mickey, Cody, Shelton, Charlie, Paul, Maria and Beth Phoenix, none of them are while we're talking an episode of WWE Raw some 6491 days after the fact.

Nope.

The reason we're talking this episode of Raw was this show's opening bout, which saw Jeff Hardy beat Umaga to win the Intercontinental Championship for the fourth time.

The first quarter was Kong vs. Sojourner Boat.

Petey Williams vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir vs.

Consequences Creed and Lethal lost 186,000 viewers.

Holy shit, what a drop-off.

Yeah, he was just on TV.

Daivari.

And now he's Sheik Abdul Bashir.

I'm fine with the character, Bill.

What do you really want him to do, bro?

Petey Williams, Daivari, and the Hurricane.

Everybody in the ring would

be two feet taller than him and you'd just be like, go out
