#4 Muhammad Hassan (Muhammad Hassan and The Undertaker)

When Muhammad Hassan debuted in WWE, things were instantly bad. Hassan's character criticized the discrimination Arab-Americans had received since 9/11 and said he was tired of prejudice.

Strangely, all those who feuded with him said if he hates America, he should leave, despite Hassan saying he loved America, but hated discrimination.

Perhaps they realized that a star that says discrimination is bad kinda has a point.

Traded to SmackDown in 2005, Hassan feuded with The Undertaker, and in an infamous promo, criticized a journalist for calling him a terrorist.

When his manager Davari lost to the Deadman on SmackDown, the Phenom was attacked by four men in balaclavas, in what was already a controversial moment.

Unfortunately, the segment aired the same day as the 7/7 bombing in London, England, and with so much backlash already to the character, the decision was quickly made to end Hassan's time in WWE.
