Funny that in real life he is actually an Italian American but that's what wrestling is about, bad acting and wacky gimmicks. Did you ever notice that he just vanished? I certainly know I did. It was so obvious that he would get an immediate reaction as soon as he debuted, quite simply, thanks to his gimmick. I was not expecting him to be placed in fueds with some of the top guys on the roster so quickly though [starting with Mick Foley]. I was also not expecting him to be disposed of just as quickly, once the fueds were over
He did manage to get a great reaction from the fans, but he was a gimmick wrestler, meaning that once he had pretty much fueded with the main guys that were available to fued with, the WWE had no use for him. He was an average wrestler and, despite his in ring promos receiving a very heated fan reaction, he was not a guy of much charisma. When he spoke, it seemed like he was trying to make sure he remembered what he had to say. Oh sure he had the right tone, but the tone was always the same. You could say it was loud and he did sound frustrated and angry, as he was supposed to, yet there was still a monotone about it every time.
His last fued was to be against the 'Deadman,' who he fought at The Great American Bash in a number 1 contender match for the World Title, that was supposed to be taking place at Summerslam. In that match [or after it] he was hit with a Last Ride on the ramp, to some concrete below [supposedly] that was under the ramp. He was then taken away by paramedics, never to be seen again. Funny how his last match in the company was a number 1 contender match for the World title. His loss was insignificant anyway since The Undertaker's victory never got him his title shot at Summerslam, like it was supposed to.
His Persian partner in crime who you probably remember, Khosrow Daivari, was kept on for a while, since they saw some potential in him to be a manager for other wrestlers. As for Hassan, well, I mean, it was fun while it lasted, it just didn't last very long. Having said that I do not remember a wrestler previously debuting and drawing so much heat in the space of 8 months, only to be released soon after. He is currently completing his degree to get in to teaching [perhaps he already has] after unsuccessfully trying to break in to the acting and screenwriting business.
