Some here might realise that I say "sacked" rather than "fired" and that I format sentences differently than below, but this is a direct copy/paste from an article. Before Shakra made his/her thread about GTA 3's 11/Sept/2001 mission being scrapped, i.e. a few weeks ago I had this one here, and 2 others pieces, that I intended to put together in a thread which I will make later. It's great to see that individuals are 'on the same page', as it were, about things - and for me personally, I think it's great that I and anyone else share similar content on similar topics separately from each other. Things are changing in the World. Thanks, Shakra. I play GTA, and I didn't know about that, so I'll read through your post! 
Some here know that I am not a big fan of (((media))) and question it and things, so Shakra's thread fits-in well with me! I don't want to redirect Shakra's thread, so I link to his/hers here, and this one I am making here is in its own thread because it is also long.
Muhammad Hassan's character was shrouded in controversy. He emerged as a formidable force in WWE, challenging the status quo and provoking a dialogue on societal prejudices. At the zenith of his career, he stood on the cusp of championship glory, clashing with the industry's titans. Yet, a fateful turn of events would seal his fate and leave the wrestling world in stunned silence. The narrative of Muhammad Hassan is one of ambition, audacity, and ultimately, transformation. Delving beneath the surface reveals a man whose journey from the squared circle to a school principal's office is as enigmatic as it is inspiring.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Muhammad Hassan's career was his ability to engage in high-profile feuds with some of the biggest names in the wrestling industry. This included memorable rivalries with legends like Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Batista, and even The Undertaker. These feuds allowed Hassan to share the squared circle with some of the most iconic figures in WWE history, elevating his status within the company. His journey in WWE reached its zenith when he had the opportunity to challenge for the top championships. Hassan squared off against John Cena for the WWE Championship and Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, demonstrating that WWE had significant plans for him. But then tragedy struck.
However, it was during this match that events took a shocking and disturbing turn, changing the course of Muhammad Hassan's career forever. In a dramatic and unexpected twist, after the match between The Undertaker and Daivari, Hassan positioned himself near the ring and began to engage in a prayer ritual. This seemingly innocuous act quickly escalated into a nightmarish scenario when, out of nowhere, a group of masked men, dressed in black, descended upon the ring. What unfolded was a violent and gruesome assault on The Undertaker, which included choking him with piano wire, and later Hassan also applying the camel clutch on him, leaving viewers in shock and disbelief.
The televised attack took place at a highly unfortunate moment. The episode where this disturbing segment aired was originally recorded before the terrorist attacks and bombings that occurred in London in 2005. However, due to the timing of its broadcast, it came across as a deeply insensitive and ill-timed portrayal, leading to an immediate and severe backlash from both the media and the public. WWE found itself in an untenable situation as this controversial segment gained international attention and condemnation. With mounting pressure from various quarters, including UPN, the network that broadcasted SmackDown, WWE was compelled to take decisive action. In response to the outcry, WWE decided to write off Muhammad Hassan's character from their programming as a way to distance themselves from the controversy. This effectively signaled the beginning of the end of Hassan's WWE career. As soon as September he was fired.
In an interview with Syracuse.com, Muhammad Hassan shared that his wrestling career coming to an end was, in fact, a blessing in disguise. He said, "I put everything I had into the WWE, and had it all taken away from me. I just withdrew from wrestling altogether. It was a blessing in disguise.''
He has moved far from the controversial character that once defined him, focusing on education and making a positive impact in the lives of young students. His journey from WWE to becoming a principal is a testament to his resilience and ability to turn a challenging situation into an opportunity for personal growth and meaningful contributions to society. It's a story of redemption and transformation that serves as an inspiring example of life after professional wrestling.
Oh, yeah. That's not a coincidence at all! Not a cohencidence, either!
