205 Live Superstar Mustafa Ali was successful this past weekend at a WWE ‘Road to Wrestlemania’ live event in his hometown, Chicago. The high-flying superstar noted on Twitter, before making his WWE debut he wrestled a few minutes away from the United Center in a different venue.
Ali started out in the independent wrestling scene around Chicago, where he also served as a police officer for Homewood,IL. Ali made his victory over 3 other cruiser weight quite memorable for the thousands in attendance, when celebrated on the ring apron with his daughter.
Take a moment to appreciate progress. Friend of mine attended #WWEChicago at the @UnitedCenter. Sent me a text saying "You had your last indy match 5 mins down the road from UC. Crazy what 15 months will do." It's crazy what a 5 minute drive will do.
Thank you, Chicago. pic.twitter.com/S3oKYAcp8L
