5 WWE Superstars who were unpopular backstage

Modified Mar 15, 2019 07:58 GMT

Before finding God, Michaels was loathed by many of the Superstars for his ego and politicking.

#2: Muhammad Hassan

Hassan was so unpopular that Superstars would refuse free drinks from him.

Upon reflection, Muhammad Hassan's gimmick of loving America, but hating the mistreatment of Arab Americans in a post-9/11 world had a lot of credence.

But whilst the fans hated Hassan on WWE TV, the man himself wasn't making many friends backstage with his actions. Confronting Eddie Guerrero backstage at the 2005 Royal Rumble, Hassan politely asked the former WWE Champion to stop using the Camel Clutch (Hassan's finisher). The problem? Eddie Guerrero's father Gory Guerrero just so happened to be the creator of the camel clutch.

Another infamous story just goes to prove how unpopular Hassan was, as when he once bought a round of drinks at a bar for his fellow SmackDown stars, everyone poured their drinks on the floor, and glared until he left.

Released not long after, Hassan would do great things outside of WWE, including writing an award-winning graphic novel with Cryme Tyme's Shad Gaspard called Assassin and Son.
