Former WWE star Shawn Daivari recently spoke with Sports Illustrated about his run in WWE and how things changed for him personally after 9/11. In this interview, Daivari revealed a storyline pitch from Stephanie McMahon after his terrorism angle was dropped in July 2005 following an attack in London.

“Stephanie came up to me and was like, ‘We’ve got an idea for you for like next week. We want you to debut as a character named George W. Bush, and we want you to wear Red, White, and Blue trunks, and be like a super American patriot,’” Daivari told interviewer Chris Featherstone. “I replied, ‘I would love to kind of do my own thing, but that is a terrible idea. I don’t know who came up with it, or whose idea was it to come up with the name George W. Bush, and take me from the hottest heel to wearing red, white, and blue, and what the purpose is or the explanation for it. But, I really, really, feel strongly against it.”
