The Rise & Fall of Muhammad Hassan with Marc Copani

Former WWE Superstar Marc Copani, best known as the controversial Muhammad Hassan, joins for an unfiltered conversation about his short but impactful wrestling career, and the real-life events that brought it to a sudden end. He relives his early days in OVW training alongside John Cena and Brock Lesnar, what he learned from OVW’s Jim Cornette and Rip Rogers, how and when he got called up to the WWE main roster, his initial reaction to the Muhammad Hassan character pitch, and what it was like generating so much heat in a post 9/11 world. He also talks about feuding with Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero, his relationship with Vince McMahon, his close friendship with Shawn Daivari, navigating Wrestler’s Court, and how the infamous SmackDown segment that aired after the London bombings effectively ended his WWE run. Plus, Marc discusses life after wrestling including his move to Los Angeles, his creative project with the late Shad Gaspard, and how he found a new purpose in education as a high school administrator in upstate New York.
