WWE has a history of being pretty fast and loose with who played which gimmicks. They had Scott Hall be a rich hot headed Cuban and had Nidia be trailer trash with Jamie Noble lol McMahon made racial gimmicks out of every race, at the very least lol
I remember seeing him and davari take on hulk hogan and Shawn Michael's at the 2005 backlash. Unfortunately I was way up in the rafters but it was still cool being at my first ppv. And of course that was the night they had batista vs triple h part 2
TBH his character was too close to for comfort at times lol at that time terrorism was at an all-time high and Muhammad Hassan as a character unfortunately perpetrated, stereotypes
I want to finally find out the TRUTH behind Muhammad Hassan's DEPARTURE. Jim Ross said they wanted to PUSH HIM to the MAIN EVENT but Hassan became "AFRAID" of the backlash and "QUIT" as a result. I have never heard Hassan's side.
It wasn't just that. They ran many controversial angels with him, including one where he had "terrorists" come out and attack the undertaker, which the wwe aired the same day as a real-life terrorist attack in France
Dom has go away heat. No one can top Hassans Nuclear Heat. Hassan WOULD have (not could have) paved the way for others (non-cookie cutter wrestlers). I had 3 WWE tryouts as a Chinese wrestler prior to 2010. His push would have been a God send and would have ushered in a 2nd age of Attitude Era instead of the PG era. I was presented as Chinese but am also Japanese/Hawaiian and wrestled Yuji Nagata when I was 23. Least Jey Uso still uses the neckbreaker I made in 1998. CZcams Best Neckbreaker in Wrestling History.
@@ethan-ray Dom started w go away heat, then doubled down on it and it became cheap heat Sammy and Tay had go away heat but then they actually went away
I hate how the WWE fired him. He was gold. Definitely 1 of the biggest "what ifs". He was only there for 7 months just about and made more of an impact on the business than guys who were there for several years. Look at Bob Holly. He was there for 15 years and the man has never done a memorable thing. Hasan became 1 of the most memorable characters while working for the company for a little over 6 months.
as a jew i love him. i understand he the human doesnt believe the psychotic crap the character was spewing. he never actually upset me. i just thought the whole act was outstanding. and i liked his wrestling fair n square, wasnt THAT awful geez. he was certainly not a botch machine right? then again im also the jew who watches old baron von raschke matches lol

Loved him so much as a heel. It still hurts that he hasn’t had a big career
His character arc was very sensitive and politically problematic.
That's not his fault tho
Would have been perfect in the golden era, but then again, they already had the Iron Shiek.

He should come back and beat some sense into current America, bro was underrated!
Awesome
I really liked Hassan I thought he would’ve been great but unfortunately things happened
His promos were Godlike and he actually had a point in what he was saying
He should always feel ripped about his career. Dude could have been a super model.
His music theme was awesome. Would have liked too see him comeback in a royal rumble match. Imagine if that theme had hit.
Imagine him winning the WWE championship instead of Jinder Mahal
The last line is applicable 😅
"The Iron Sheik" will always be the best race-bait Heel in wrestling history. "The Camel Clutch" 🐫 earned that 🐫 🏇 many victories

They sure shrink off the juice
Indeed also hitting forty can slow one down as well.

Using racism to generate heat. Great
He’s was getting booed because he spoke the truth
He was genuinely really good and it’s a shame he was written off the way he was when I’m sure he hated playing this character in the first place
Man, he was GOOD at getting under your skin. To the point of being f***ing exiled
And he is American that could have been huge star the fact he never went to another Federation

Holy shit I just looked. He's only 42?! Dude looks at least 10 years older than that
He got fired from the WWE because you started too much backstage drama not because his character brought too much heat
Cmon he was a good worker; wrestling isn’t your ricochets ospreys acrobatic y rehearsal spot fest
Wasted potential. This was a great heel, a great character. What could have been...
Stone cold got his ass pretty good 🤣🍻😊
Getting fired for doing his job properly.
I feel like his chin is smaller
I was never a fan of those generic evil foreigner saying "i hate America" promos they gave to anyone who barely looked middle eastern or asian.
I
The most racist character ever
He is not even Asian
He’s from Arab descent
In iran evryone hate him , because davaris brother we shame on them , and dont accept them
Wait so he’s really white?
Italian
Free Palestine?
He was a talented wrestler.
Its a shame that Vince's racism got in the way.
