YMMV: Muhammad Hassan
  • Anti-Climax Boss: Went undefeated for months in the WWE, only to get squashed in two minutes by none other than John Cena.
  • Designated Villain: Many of his complaints about prejudice were completely valid ones (see Strawman Has a Point below), but he was still portrayed as the most evil villain in the WWE (his infamous Royal Rumble appearance had both faces and heels working together to eliminate him, much like the typical scenario where good and evil join together to fight a common enemy). In addition, the commentators would always speak of his actions as heelish even if he had a valid reason for whatever it was that he was doing. An example of this would be the time Chris Benoit challenged him to a match, and he agreed to a match at a later date due to not being properly prepared for a match. Benoit responded by attacking Hassan, but he was overpowered by the combined efforts of Hassan and his manager. The commentators acted as though Hassan was the coward, even though he was acting in self-defense.
  • Ear Worm: His theme.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: An interesting case. The segment that would later end up ending his career was filmed several days before a similar incident coincidentally occurred in real life, but it aired on the same day just a few hours after said real-life incident.
  • Memetic Mutation: For a time, a popular fad on YTMND was to insert Hassan's music over various video clips to create the illusion that the people in the clip were being interrupted by Hassan's entrance.
  • Strawman Has a Point: Just look at the comments section on any YouTube video featuring him. There are a lot more people who agree with the things he says than those who disagree.
  • Too Good to Last
  • Unfortunate Implications: His entire run was chock-full of them.
    Stone Cold Steve Austin: I see sand people.
