Fans React in Joy to See “One of the Greatest Heels of All Time” Doing Well in Life Outside WWE After “Certain People Made His Life a Living Hell”

We have all seen WWE wrestlers who had enormous potential lose their jobs for a variety of reasons. May it be management’s incompetence at utilizing them or unfortunate injuries at the worst times. But few have been more heartbreaking than seeing a wrestler lose his job because of the cultural climate in America at the time of his arrival.

No one can be blamed in that case. Neither it is the management’s fault nor the star’s inability to perform, it is the unfortunate timing that killed all his momentum and led an early to his promising wrestling career. But luckily for this former WWE star who put down The Undertaker, he made it out fine and is doing well in his professional life.

Former WWE star who was hailed as one of the greatest heels in the company

We are talking about none other than Muhammad Hassan, the wrestler who arrived in WWE during the Ruthless Aggression era, in 2005. Immediately, his arrival sparked everyone to hate him as he put down none other than the American Badass The Undertaker.

He came in and demolished the Hall of Famer in one fell swoop. This brought a lot of fans to rain down on him with boos. Many critics and fans had already made the prediction that Hassan was the next big heel, as he even worked with Hulk Hogan. Portraying a foreign heel on American soil is nothing new in WWE, but Hassan’s gimmick of an Arab villain came after the horrific events of 9/11. At the same time that Hassan introduced his Arab character, there was a major backlash from advertisers to get Hassan off WWE TV.

So, Vince McMahon was forced to let go of Hassan and kill his momentum. This wasn’t everything though, as Hassan also got pushed down other ventures in wrestling. Moreover, even though being Italian, the man received death threats from fans who were upset at seeing him in WWE portraying an Arab villain character.

Even though everyone hated him when he was in the ring, his gimmick was perfect from a pro wrestling point of view. Not only was he entertaining and got a good reaction in the ring, but could go in the ring as well. Unfortunately, his wrestling career didn’t reach the heights it could have due to troubling circumstances.

So, it makes sense that people are happy to see Hassan succeed despite a bad trajectory in wrestling. Even former WWE announcer The Coach acknowledged the way Hassan was treated in the wrestling industry.

The way the wrestling industry treated Hassan should never have happened.

If his career blossomed the WWE would be completely different.

We hope Hassan sees the support from fans and knows about the fans who love him and appreciate his work in this business.
