History Wrestling / MuhammadHassan

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Copani is actually a very dark-skinned Italian-American, he has no Middle Eastern heritage.

* CombatPragmatist: So he might not of been a criminal, militant or anything else of the sort but he was a dirty cheat, BOOO!

Muhammad Hassan (real name Mark Copani; November 7, 1981) is an American {{professional wrestl|ing}}er best known for having had a brief but memorable run in Wrestling/{{WWE}} as an Arab-American {{heel}} who was angry about the prejudice he faced after 9/11. Before a controversial segment ended up killing his career, this guy was being pushed to the moon. On his very first appearance, he got to interrupt Wrestling/MickFoley. He wasn't even on TV for a year, and he got wins over various wrestling legends (including Wrestling/SgtSlaughter and Wrestling/JerryLawler), a WWE title match, feuds with three of the greatest wrestlers of all time (Wrestling/HulkHogan, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, and Wrestling/TheUndertaker), and a win over then-[[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] Wrestling/{{Batista}} (it was by disqualification, but a win's a win).

* {{Corpsing}}: One segment in ''Raw'' had Hassan interrupting John Cena's promo before going on one of his trademark over-the-top {{Motive Rant}}s, before Cena interrupted him and mocked his speech by talking about how Hassan liked "receiving glorious spankings from Daivari." An eagle-eyed viewer could see Hassan trying to contain a smirk before regaining his serious expression just in time for a close-up.

* {{Corpsing}}: Crossed with a (most certainly unintentional) example of ActuallyPrettyFunny. One segment in ''Raw'' had Hassan interrupting John Cena's promo before going on one of his trademark over-the-top {{Motive Rant}}s, before Cena interrupted him and mocked his speech by talking about how Hassan liked "receiving glorious spankings from Daivari." An eagle-eyed viewer could see Hassan trying to contain a smirk before regaining his serious expression just in time for a close-up.

* BadassBeard: Likely in part of playing up his "Arab" heritage.

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Hassan_(wrestler) The Other Wiki]] has a more detailed rundown on his life and (very brief) career.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: As showcased at the 2005 Royal Rumble. JR and Taz, who had been bantering thanks to the [=SmackDown=] vs RAW theme of the PPV, immediately stopped all commentary when he entered, with JR even expressing shame over the fact that Hassan was from RAW. Then, when he actually entered the ring, all ten wrestlers immediately stopped fighting and ganged up on him.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: His manager, Daivari, would frequently swear in Farsi. At least once, he referred to Wrestling/ChrisBenoit as a motherfucker.
