WWE Possibly Doing a Muslim Character

[Loose Cannon]

This is from the BetweentheRopes.com Radio Show.

The WWE might be planning on doing a heel Muslim character on WWE TV. Mark Mangus, who is from OVW, will be the guy given the character. A link to his profile is at the bottom of the page if you want to see what he looks like.

Magnus will play Muhammad Hussan (sp) and he will also have a Muslim manager by his side.

Right now, Magnus is doing this on House Shows and could be called up to eathier Raw or Smackdown in the future.


Well for me personally, I don't get offended by these things at all. I actually liked the Slaughter Character in the 90's, liked the Iron Shiek from the 80's. They get cheap, but its going to be some big FK'N heat. Like they said on the show, a lot of people in this country are not to big on Muslims right now to put it lightly, so you have to worry about the safety of Magnus. There are still people out there that take wrestling serious and this character could get some people riled up.
