Not only that, Del Rio is pretty much blacklisted from nearly every major wrestling company due to his poor attitude, criminal record, and his habit of no-showing events. I think he wrestles in underground companies these days
Usually you can't get a job in an industry if you no showed. So underground being his family birthday parties, with the green bastard from parts unknown
It's kind of sad since all charges against him were dropped. Yet it sounds like everything you said will keep him out of the limelight for the rest of his career.
He’s got a couple matches coming up in AAA(biggest promotion in Mexico). It’s not long term and it’s for a tournament for second and third generation wrestlers.
The Hassan/Kapani story is really sad. The dude was being projected for two main event programs but then the writing decided to get actually racist at the worst possible time. Dude got blacklisted for doing as asked unlike everyone else here
Copani likes to tell the story that he got screwed over, but it was his poor attitude backstage that got him fired. He was lazy in OVW, and he was uncooperative with his WWE storylines, always getting in arguments with creative. He was released because he wasn’t giving the company a return in their investment.
I think WWE would of brought him in as a new character. But he hated the character that was put on him and the way things went. Yes, he was let go and they should of told him they would bring him back under a new character but they didn't. And he admitted in a rare interview he really didn't want to come back. That the schedule was too difficult. Many don't get how much these wrestlers go through.
Vince did the same thing to "Dr D" David Schultz back in the 80s: canned and blackballed him for doing his job. Note how WWE still doesn't mention his name
To be fair, as hard as they pushed Mark as Hussain, there's literally no way they could have tried to package him as something else. Sometimes you can do your job TOO well.
yes ,the proble is USA pseudo fans ..........wwe dont defens the wrestler etc.........stupid usa fans try to kill whant kill etc....Hassan (caracter name). One is the carrier different in real life ! most fans and usa fan dont think this is a show !the real family fro hassan have problem to !
Blame americans crying cause of the twin towers stuff.All the conservative america F yeah more wars in the middle east types came out the woodworks crying even tho they don't watch wrestling.
And yet still full of nonsense, since the WWE never outright bans anybody and everybody ultimately returns if there's money to be made (the sole exceptions may be David Schultz and Kevin Wacholz)
Muhammed Hassan got a raw deal. He was only doing what they wrote for him, and he doesn’t decide what gets to air at any given time. They could have just changed his gimmick, that really sucks what happened to him.
I don’t think so, everywhere he goes he becomes a cancer in the locker room and his biggest problem for wwe is his incident he had with Roman Reigns who is WWE’s main guy now and as long as Roman is there Enzo probably won’t be.
Probably, but then the fans would be cheering for a drug addict loser....I think he did the right thing by making a scene...when he was high on nose candy, he wouldn't have done it if he was sober
Hassan was supposed to become the World Heavyweight Champion in 2005 and defeat Batista, at Summerslam. Can you imagine just how much nuclear heat his character would've gotten, had he pinned Batista?
@jimbean1468 At his age during that time and with his work ethic? Absolutely it would've been a great long term investment had it went through. He had the psychology down, his work was finely polished and he didn't have to be big and fast, like Brock. Basically what Orton got over Benoit the previous year, Hassan's push would've been longer at least until WrestleMania. It would've brought tv ratings, ticket sales just to see him get beat. Long term storytelling at it's finest and the payoff would've been sweet.
@jimbean1468 I'm a worker in the business, I know better than the rest of the dumbass smarks out there who are being worked by the dirtsheets anyways. Even the best workers are green when put into a spot. It was Batista, Orton, Steve Austin, Macho Man, Flair, Fujinami, Jumbo Suruta, I could go on. Know your history before having a quick witted reaction because like a high spot, that last comment of yours had no structure.
it was obvious. also, roman reigns is the worst WWE champ ever, he is boring! he has no charisma! He cannot do a promo! The WWE is sexist, and misogynist, yesterday was a show way too violent. way violent and kids should not have watched. not in this era of terrorists like BLM and Antifa.
@@theragnarokmachine2251 because he was doing his job, he was a very convincing heel and a fresh take on the "angry foreigner who hates USA" gimmick and he was able to get real heat from fans.
I believe Enzo's problem was that he couldnt separate his character, from his actual personality, and ended up rubbing a lot of guys in the back the wrong way, and is how he got himself alienated from the lockeroom. he was good on the mic, but in in-ring work wasnt amazing, and didnt justify keeping him around. perhaps if he would of humbled himself and learned to get along with people in the back better, he could of had a longer career as a mouthpiece or manager.
Rene Dupree's downfall was multiple things. He started young, 19 young, so he couldnt risk standing up for himself because of the fear of getting fired. One time, Rene said in his podcast, after he worked he matched, Vince came from behind him and patted him on the back and said, "Great things are going to happen to you Rene." Then Rene replied, "Yeah right..." From there he started jobbing out and went down the ranks. He called his mother who had breast cancer at the time, instead of going out with the boys out to bar in an off-sea tour. Then he asked for his release, in which a couple of years later, sued WWE for using his image. You know why he pulled out? Because WWE owns Rene Dupree (Character/Image). Blacklisted. Damme shame. You can still see the bitterness in his face up to this day when he streams. He is still young, and half broken, but can still GO.
Well he did say on a livestream recently that he was in talks to rejoin wwe at one point. Someone commented on one of his videos saying that it was the cte for him looking so unhappy and also that's probably just how his face rests.
@@rachaelvaughan1017 Heard that too about the CTE. Yet Rene always claims that he is retired now, so...I dont know why WWE would hire Rene when he doesnt keep up with the current product. At this point, the man is injury prone, but I love Rene's work. Too young to join the business and not knowing the politics of the big time, or learning as you go, really messed him up. At this point, going to Impact, ROH, AEW, or a known American promotion could make WWE have a second look at him, but if he is not willing, then he isnt willing, and what we saw Rene last do last in WWE is how people are going to remember him.
Heel means he's acting ...when it's real life that makes you a cut throat business man who will fire you for doing what he told you to do. He's a piece of chit not a heel, you know the difference right? Or have you lost the ability to tell the difference between tv and reality?
Hassan got a little big headed too though. He tried to tell Eddie not to do the camel clutch because it was his move. Didnt even know that his dad invented the move lol
I can't imagine doing what's right for business and taking the heat for something that wasn't your decision, and your reward for it being shown the door. Crazy.
@kazewarrior 93 and as things have gone on, someone who really buried him, like a punk ass would, has seemed to be less and less of a likeable guy outside the ring
I still remember Alberto no showing the Impact Wrestling vs Lucha Underground twitch special. The main event was supposed to be a a tag team match, and the following PPV would have been Alberto vs Austin Aries. Instead we got two great three way main events in the form of Pentagon Jr vs Fenix vs Austin Aries, one at the twitch special, and the other at Redemption where Pentagon became the Impact World Champion. What's funny though is that Alberto was in actually in town, and was even on Impact's live stream of WrestleCon that weekend. Dude just decided to up and leave despite being booked. Dude has had so many chances to get his act together to say the least.
Marc Mero said nothing wrong. The switch from a mat based style to the slam-bang bump style, coupled with insane touring, led to a lot of guys getting hurt, hooked on pain meds, etc.
Yeah biggest reasons Chris did what he did were steroids and probably concussions. I can remember quite frequently in matches he would shake his head after that head but he did every match. Who knows how many concussions that bastard gave himself but he can rot in hell for doing that to his family
Yeah, but his rationalizing Chris Benoit’s crimes was pretty crappy. WWE made Chris Benoit a very well paid star and champion, in a profession HE chose to go into. Chris Benoit was responsible for his mental state, not WWE.
@@arynrowland862 So I don't know if you know, but the part of his brain that is usually used to filter out those more violent thoughts was full of holes. Now imagine someone like that who could eventually completely snap and let those thoughts out into the physical versions of them, NO ONE doesn't have these thoughts and urges but your brain tends to automatically filter out those options, NOW take away that ability and you are left with a man who can go in and out of what is basically psychosis.
@@giantmess4335 I don’t doubt what you’re saying, but to put the blame on WWE’s policies and practices is dumb and immature. Chris Benoit could have been a mail carrier, a welder, he could have operated cameras for the WWE, but he chose to be a professional wrestler. The list of pro wrestlers who do what he did, yet don’t murder their families is veeeerrrrry long. He chose to participate in something his brain couldn’t handle, and his family paid the price. Supplements didn’t do that to Chris Benoit, he did it to himself.
@@arynrowland862 while that is true he chose the profession, WWE was really a standard of health by any means, also the fact that for a long time even if TNA was around, WWE was the place to get recognized until TNA was finally on TV that most people could watch. WWE in America for a long time after the territory days was really the only shop in town besides what they call indy darlings but most people people outside of Japan Britain and the USA didn't really have wrestling like this even Mexico which is now seeming got the style stolen by AEW spotfest. Now saying that WWE wasn't exactly the smartest about management of health at all. People even in really bad ways still wrestled in grueling conditions in an atmosphere that many especially in the 90s and 2000s that had a lot of them trying to get on TV and stay on TV and even was cleared when they shouldn't have been. This was a reason WWE also got sued multiple times in both directions of people tired of being reinjured and put back on the shelf for longer then they would have had too if given time to heal. Also, on the flip side because of the overcorrection on injuries people hated working with WWE when they finally did heal because now the WWE had nothing for them in long term or short term. I also think at a company no matter the sport real or scripted, daddy Vince should have made sure to cross his Ts and dot his I's but for a long time he didn't and it wasn't like anyone especially back then was gonna fux around with where their money was coming from especially when the company owned every penny for the contract they would now might have to by out or fux up so royally that they would be fired for staining the perceived company line
Hassan was a beast and it sucks for him to be literally sacked for just doing his job. He lost his wrestling career over something the company wanted him to do. He had champ written all over him too.
@@brayallen7290 it doesn't change the fact that Benoit's brain was damaged due to all the spots he did in his career. It was the Wrestling Business who killed the Benoit family
Marc is blackballed because of his poor relationship with Brock Lesnar's wife. Even with Sables not so great history with the company, they're not going to risk her getting in Brocks ear.
Note: Shane Douglas tried to return to WWE with the Radicalz. He assumed he was coming but Vince didn't want anything to do with him. It was after that he really got outspoken
@@NoxWyatt to that point though all evidence says Enzo was innocent but any time he's brought up half the comments are people refusing to accept that he didn't do it
Enzo wasn't really fired for the acts that he didn't commit. He was fired because he took quite a while to tell the company about it plus I assume all his antics backstage had already set a snowfall effect in action.
My thoughts on each one: Rene I never really liked. However, I did admire his abilities in the ring. He was a gifter athlete for sure. His promo skills were lacking but hey, he just started. And, of course, just like with many, WWE never gave him the chance. Hassan had the potential to be a top notch heel. Bad place, bad time I'll say. Mero spoke the truth but WWE likes to rug sweep anything that could tarnish their reputation. From what I know, Enzo also had backstage problems and was hated by many people in the locker room. Ryback is a moron. I guess all those steroids do mess up your brain. Del Rio dug his own grave. Also, wasn't he busted for drug traffic?
It's clear that Girl lied someone who got raped wouldn't be bragging to her friend and telling what she did and how everything went down she was clearly looking for a check probably her friend put her up to it... and this is the reason why I'm always skeptic when women come out with rape allegations unless there is resounding evidence
@@da_jamaican she did, that's the same girl that told another guy that he raped her then showed up much later saying she was pregnant and he had to take her to the abortion clinic and he had to pay for it (her own words, I forget her name and don't want to remember it)
To be fair, Dupree could've been telling the truth....saying a cross word about Taker could get you buried due to the respect his work has gained him with in the industry. He may have been a bully. We don't know and can't know for sure(either way)
And yet he's also named the Undertaker as one of the wrestlers who actually helped him the most, replying to a superchat question in one of his livestreams. There's always a middle ground.
Muhammad Hassan (Marc Copani) was released because the WWE's advertising sponsors and the networks wanted the character gone. Rather than go back to developmental and create a new character, he quit wrestling. Shane Douglas was one of many WWE guys in the 90s who got screwed over by the Kliq, so no wonder he doesn't speak well of WWE.
Enzo and Cass both got blackballed from ROH after what happened at G1 Supercard of Honor. Enzo and Cass jumped the barrier during a tag match featuring PCO the Briscoe Brothers and LIJ, once Enzo and Cass jumped the barricade, SANADA and EVIL started beating the hell out of them. Once they got backstage they loudly voiced their displeasure at what happened, apparently it was planned by ROH, but the NJPW agent assigned to ROH, Tiger Hattori, had no clue that was planned. To save from getting sued by Tiger and Harold Meiji, Sinclair, the owner of ROH at the time, decided to denounce the stunt and black ball Enzo and Cass.
I always feel bad for the man behind Hassan. The man was american born with Italian roots and strapped with an Arabian heel gimmick in OVW. They could’ve repackaged him, maybe he could’ve pulled off Chavos Kerwin White. But nonetheless he got into education and i bet he’s having a good post wwe life
It’s weird how they don’t talk about Vince despite him literally being the founder of WWE. I hope Vince doesn’t ruin WWE further now that he unfortunately came back
Honestly, I'd support WWE in making every show a 3-hour, NXT 2.0 looking, jobber-filled slogfest if somehow it kept that geriatric rapist out of the company.
@@NoxWyatt Yes, it makes me sick the level he's already forced his way back in, and every single minute he isn't hurling his decrepit old rapist corpse off the top of Titan Towers is a shame, at best.
Ennis, Enzo, would bring his friends backstage and even into the areas were other wrestlers were asking for autographs. Friends of wrestlers are not allowed backstage unless direct permission from Vince. He was also tossed off of the bus by Roman, the top guy, for pissing off everyone on the bus trying to sleep and he was on his phone loud as hell. It wasn't just his rape accusations and his stunt why he's not welcome back.
He hurt multiple wrestlers because he couldn’t wrestle all he was is muscle we know wrestling is fake but he missing tables on purpose botching power bombs he’s the reason a lot of our favorite wrestlers couldn’t make a comeback
He was well known for being unsafe. They tried many times to train him to be safe. He refused. Many wrestlers disliked him because he was sloppy and he hurt people.
@@saviyounpeters3416Kofi Kingston is still wrestling. So is Daniel Bryan. Punk blamed WWE for his injuries too, so WWE probably don't care what Punk says.
Mark was purely speaking the truth and WWE didn’t like that he called them out, especially being they knew he was right, and shifted all blame on Benoit. Complete bullshit
I remember watching vignettes of del rio back in 2010 before he started wrestling, never liked him, I didn’t understand why he was the guy getting a push, stopped watching shortly after. I take comfort in knowing he didn’t last long.
Hard to say with Shane Douglas as he HAS appeared on the WWE network in recent years - but some things on the network happen without Vince's approval and get pulled the second he finds out (see - WWE Swerved)
Hassan wasn't the 1st wrestler to be fired and blackballed for doing his job in WWE, that would be "Dr D" David Schultz, fired and blackballed for slapping a reporter backstage, as directed to by Vince
