Sheik Abul Bashir's "Controversial" Theme | TNA No Surrender 2008

The first time I heard about this I didn't believe it, I had to track down an original copy of the PPV and verify for myself... and yup. There it is.

It only lasted for that 1 show though, as you can see in the video.

No joke but when I was a local wrestler we had a guy do a terrorist gimmick and the promoter legit had a clip of 9/11 at the start of his entrance video. It was a while back and we aint in the US but I didnt work for the company at the time and still knew it was in really bad taste.

It wasnt as hard as you think but we had a fan who just happened to be pretty good at that and posters so the owner started paying him to do it. At least Im pretty sure he was paid but dont quote me on that.
