Muhammad Hassan reveals whether or not he watches any current-day wrestling.
Muhammad Hassan was briefly a top heel in WWE. Portraying the role of an Arab American, Marc Copani ascended to the top of WWE Superstardom, getting to wrestle the likes of Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, and The Undertaker during his brief run on the WWE roster. Ultimately, because of the controversial nature of his character in a post-9/11 world, he would be written off of television shortly after his match with the Undertaker at the WWE Great American Bash in 2005.
During a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Copani revealed that he'll occasionally watch wrestling today, especially now that WWE is on Netflix. However, he does prefer watching The History Channel.
"I discovered on History Vault that they have access to all the WWE biographies. So if I can't sleep at night, I'm downstairs watching. They're really cool. The Undertaker, Steve Austin, and all these guys that I grew up idolizing and got to work with. It's cool to kind of watch where they came from, and I'll flip it on once in a while," he said. "I've seen a lot of the young talent that have come through. Their game and their craft is just so much more focused than what I remembered when I was there. It's pretty impressive. I think a lot of it has to do with the experience and the leadership in the company, and the people who they have behind the scene like a Shawn Daivari, like a Hurricane Helms, who really know how to these guys look good, but more importantly explain to these guys what they need to do to look good and why.
"I love that it’s on Netflix now, I can just throw on RAW," he continued. "I'll see AEW come on and I'll watch them. I'm always entertained. I love wrestling still. I really truly do. It's just the amount of time I have daily to watch TV is about 45 minutes before I pass out in bed and I don't think my wife would really appreciate if I always had wrestling on. So we're watching Only Murderers in the Building instead, it's a great show. But I still love it and again, I really respect the talent and the progression of WWE. It's just been an amazing thing to watch."
Elsewhere in the interview, he discussed his brief return to the ring in 2018. Read his comments here.
