5 Superstars whose WWE careers were 'buried alive' by the Undertaker

Muhammad Hassan

Muhammad Hassan’s “terrorists” carrying his dead WWE career out of the ring...

Wrong place, wrong time and definitely wrong gimmick. The Muhammad Hassan character was a notorious Arab gimmick with shades of terrorism associated with it...and if that wasn’t edgy enough, he had (kayfabe, of course) orchestrated an attack on the Undertaker using men in ski-masks just days before the London terrorist bombings in 2005.

The TV networks were – naturally – scandalized and they asked WWE to immediately write the character off programming.

Who else to do the honours but the Undertaker. While we realize that squashing Hassan was a decision taken by Vince, he did engender backstage heat for his arrogant ways and from all accounts – being the custodian in the lockerroom – the Undertaker was only too happy to wield the axe.
