Humble man . Give yourself props Sami

[@Fuzzie_Dunlop968]

Being ginger worked out for him. 😂😂

[@J.D.1.]

Spot on. Had he looked like a typical Arab he would have been playing a terrorist

[@isaace9384]

His outfit was fire 🔥

[@Silent_Shadow]

He did make that look good!

[@pelago_]

Legend

[@sandraford1926]

Love sami its about time himself and Kevin to have won the belts they are both a legend ❤

[@da_bachelor]

I ain’t Muslim but I respect the hell out of the religion I’d stand up to anyone who ridicules it too cuz we have great Muslim ppl out there Rami(Sami) being one of em

[@user-rw7ox7ln1d]

[@superkid12345]

Let’s be real, if Sami’s skin was a little darker, 100% Vince would have made him a terrorist

[@mangamango5569]

For sure. No doubt about it.

[@jjalkman1999]

Vince never let skin color get in the way considering "Muhammad Hassan" was an Italian American.

[@superkid12345]

@@jjalkman1999 Huh? your example literally was forced to play a terrorist just because his skin was dark enough EVEN THOUGH he was italian.

[@sethIguess2002]

KO just sliiiiiides out of this interview

[@N1k0SP]

Bro was CRAZY

[@DebbieBrydle-gk9cy]

❤ love you, Sammy. And, Kevin Owens is much loved also.❤

[@Truthspeaker495]

Mashallah never knew he was muslim

[@forty_two42]

We love you Generico!

[@scottrichardson1529]

I thought he was Canadian,not arab

[@ef7558]

He is Canadian, but he's also Muslim. Is family emigrated to Canada in the 1970s. His roots come from Syria

[@morganbrokaw5190]

Arab is an ethnicity, Canadian is a nationality. So yeah, he's Arab and Canadian. His parents are from Syria, if i remember correctly.

[@Al4___]

He's got a Syrian passport, he is both Syrian and Canadian, Canadian because he was born there, Syrian because both his parents are from Syria and are arabs in ethnicity

[@thedcmac]

He’s Gyrian

[@allamericannightmare4904]

You know jinder Mahal is Canadian right

[@mohdimansaifullizan6193]

I like him

[@JDisLA310]

Main event star

[@Gavination06]

I legit didn't know Sami was Muslim. I learned a thing

[@christopherwilliams7905]

He does understand that nobody would ever have thought to make him a terrorist because he doesnt look ANYTHING like what most people envision an arab man to be. He looks like a white Canadian with red hair...

[@Rich-171]

Rami

[@scotthalvorson1161]

I thought he was against going because of theyre war crimes?

[@bobtheslob2246]

Nah, he's been in America for so long and didn't stay away from America because of their immense war crimes.

[@sirnetflix7162]

@@samhallfuIt also meant lots to Sami because he was able to go to Mecca

[@Swattenghetto]

Which war crimes? You mean americas war crimes? Against iraq, afghanistan, lybia?

[@scotthalvorson1161]

@@Swattenghetto You arent wrong about Americas crimes, but I was talkng about the saudis genocide in yemen

[@rami8896]

@@scotthalvorson1161 They are actually protecting the Yemeni people from the Shia rebel group that is committing gen0cide on sunnis there. Iran pays good money to spread propaganda that its Saudi to justify the rebels push.

[@MultitaskingGuy]

I thought he was French or Irish

[@Antonioplus]

Thought he was Irish

[@Only1Tweet]

Nope, Syrian.

[@brandonthomas633]

He looks more like a Uber driver/ pizza delivery driver then a Muslim

[@rickyl8111]

His people? Isnt he Canadian?

[@dfree1442]

Where's the confusion?

[@herecomesdatrain]

His parents is of Syrian decent which the Arabs has conflict with. Dont quote me but I believe thats the reason

[@anonymousnate678]

Religion isn't bound to where you're from...

[@jmreeves89]

He's Canadian some times, he's Syrian other times, but he's a victim 100% of the time lol whatever is convenient at the time

[@RomesPompeii]

​@@jmreeves89i mean he is a ginger so he is a victim of genetics

[@RONRIFFLE]

You’re Canadian and redhead lol

[@Apropoetic]

While it could be true that's why Vince didn't make him a terrorist character, that doesn't negate the fact his is Arab and Muslim. Both of this parents were Syrian immigrants.

[@Foxikaze]

His parents are Syrian immigrants. Not every arab is dark skinned and dark haired. There are lots of middle eastern folk that look like Sami

[@brandonthomas633]

When I look at him I don't see a Muslim so they definitely wouldn't put him in a Muslim gimmick

[@ramontrif]

No one really actually cares though. Just wrestle.

[@GoldBawls]

Lololol, it wa$ $uper $pecial becau$e of repre$entation 😂

[@purplep6070]

Dont you need a soul to be muslim?

[@theguyz786]

Wut?

[@thesopranosdynasty]

Muhammad Ali doesn't exist does he

[@JackgarPrime]

Well Ali was long since retired when Sami was coming up, and also wasn't in wrestling in particular.

[@abe1323]

Yeah, because Sami is 75 years old.
