5 times WWE changed wrestlers' ethnicity

The Japanese guy from Samoa 

#4 Muhammad Hassan

Hassan was an American

Muhammad Hassan became synonymous to controversy thanks to the sensitive gimmick he played. To his credit, he was someone that fulfilled the job he got almost perfectly, but thanks to the socio-politic time frame and the terrorist attacks that were going around, WWE had some immense amount to pull his character and they eventually did the same.

The real life Mark Copani, Hassan was born in Syracuse, New York. However, he was given Arab roots by the WWE and thanks to some great costumes and accent, Hassan got over as a legitimate character. HE dropped out of the wrestling scene soon after he was let go by WWE and it marked a sad end to his wrestling career.
