Muhammad Hassan Gets Physical in the Ring for First Time Since 2018

Former WWE wrestler Muhammad Hassan returned to physical action at a recent independent wrestling event.

Hassan, whose real name is Marc Copani, faced wrestler Krule.

Krule grabbed Hassan by the throat, but Hassan broke free, landed three punches and delivered a flatliner.

The appearance was his first time getting physical in a ring since 2018, when he briefly wrestled for the independent promotion The Dynasty.

Hassan’s WWE career ended in 2005 after a controversial segment aired on the same day as the London bombings, prompting media backlash and network pressure.

WWE dropped the character and released Hassan, who later retired from in-ring competition and moved into education.

He now works as Director of Human Resources for the Fulton City School District, and no further wrestling plans are stated.
