It’s so strange to think that they were that close to pulling the trigger on him as a main eventer. The guy could’ve been a top heel for the next decade if things didn’t go down the way they did. |

Probably the biggest what if question in WWE history. And the sad thing is absolutely none of it was his fault.

Was always a big Hassan fan, gutted it went how it did for him. Which I still think today was a lot of something over nothing.

As long as there is problems in the Middle East, Hassan could have been a top heel in the company...which means he could have been a top heel until the day he died.

He was a really good promo and had a great look. I wonder if WWE let him do something like come out right after the controversy and get on the mic and said "My name is Mark Magnus, you might have known me as Muhammad Hassan. *boos from crowd* Yeah, the stereotypical Arab Terrorist character. Well, I'm not a terrorist, I'm not even Arab. I'm Italian! But WWE in their infinite wisdom said 'Kid here's what we're going to do with you' Well, you might have heard about the horrible attacks last week in Britain. What did WWE do after that? Did they drop the gimmick? Did they let me be me? NO! They WANTED TO FIRE ME! When things got too hot for them. THEY WANTED TO FIRE ME for something that was completely out of my control! Well I'm not going to let those idiots fire me for something I have no control over...yadda yadda yadda..." Have him become a pain in the ass that randomly attacks people, cuts a good promo and you have a good mid-carder that gets over. I don't mean to be an armchair booker, but I think it might have worked out pretty well.

Ruined the poor guys career. Pretty sure he never wrestled again after his unfortunate departure.
Dude's still only 36. He'd have been the youngest World champion ever if it wasn't for real life tragic events. He'd probably have been a multiple time world champion and one of the greatest heels of all time also.

They could have repackaged him, and probably would have, but he quit while he was in developmental waiting for a new gimmick. He was bullied a lot by the usual suspects (Benoit, Bradshaw, Holly) during his short run on the roster. |

Mad to think his short run was thirteen years ago already.

Couldn't believe when he was released and the fact that another company never picked him up and that he hasn't wrestle since 2005.A someone else pointed out just 36 right now and a company like TNA could really use him.I am guessing that his short year run or so on the main roster really soured him on pro wrestling in general with how badly he was handled and the fact that he was bullied at such a young age in the business.

Mark had so much potential to be a main attraction for YEARS, he is truly one of the biggest missed opportunities over the last 25+ years.

He quit. I am very sure other companies called him, but he turned them down. He is now a school teacher I believe. |
