Mark Magnus, with the stage name of Muhammad Hassan (born in 1981 in Syracuse, New York), is a professional wrestler who performs for World Wrestling Entertainment in its RAW brand.

He made his professional debut in 2003, at OVW. He made his official WWE debut on December 13, 2004.

His introductory video featured him and his manager/trainer introducing themselves. He described himself as a Middle-Eastern-American wrestler wanting relief from the increased stereotypes created by the 9/11 attacks, as he enters professional wrestling. He then concludes with a controversial extension of hands and praise to Allah, which he has recently stopped due to some complaints from some Arab-Americans. His speech follows by an Arabic translation of his speech by his manager/trainer, Khosrow Daivari. His recent speeches feature a threat to anyone who gets in his way.

Making his entrance into World Wrestling Entertainment, he accused the media of how they have characterized Arab-Americans after September 11. As an example, he focussed his anger on the closest media available, RAW announcers, Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross. He's now scheduled to wrestle Jerry Lawler at New Year's Revolution.
