Ok,so look at this from another angle.
Why did it make sense for HBK to call on Hogan as his partner at the drop of a hat?
Wasnt that a slap in the face to all the other guys backstage that HBK would call on a "retired" superstar over them?
At least Davari & Hassan had a working relationship before the match,so it made perfect sense for him to use Davari.
Also for me,the recent bitch slapping is prolly the start of a split between them so Davari can be drafter to SD for the cruiser division.
The face turn of Batista/Hogan is a nice analogy but just proves the point I am making cause that pretty much how face turns have always been!
In WWF/WWE things always get pushed very quickly!
With Davari though pushing it quick made perfect sense.
He is at Hassans beck & call,so if one week he tells him he is allowed to wrestle,he wrestles,if one week he tells him he's not allowed,then he ant allowed,thats how a master/slave relationship works.
Remember despite his protestations that he is an American,he has constantly used his (pretend) arab heritage such has the attire he wears to the ring & the fact that he has a subordinate like Davari.
Davaris biggest asset to WWE was that he was pretty much unknown before signing to WWE,meaning they could keep the fact he is a good wrestler quiet.
Yes,they could have given it a long build up,but then that would have ruined the impact when he finally revealed his true colours.
Personally I would rather his first match had been Backlash,then the angle could have worked where both Hogan & HBK totally underestimate him!
