Mustafa Ali has revealed the advice he would give to aspiring wrestlers.
The former WWE star recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. He discussed things such as his injury before the 2019 Elimination Chamber leading to KofiMania, a potential WWE return, and more.
During the interview, Ali also talked about his new wrestling school called Chicago Wrestling Center starting in January 2025, and revealed what advice he would give to anyone who desires to become a pro wrestler.
The 38-year-old first explained that there is ‘never a good time for anything’ and one should find ways to do something if they really want to. He also explained the importance of physical fitness for anyone who wants to enter the business:
“The advice I would give to people that are planning on going to a wrestling school is, I don’t want to say workout, but it’s intense. You have to realize someone else’s life is literally in your hands when you’re picking them up and you’re running and this and that.
So fatigue and weakness from a physical standpoint is very dangerous, both to you and your partner. So I would say that would be my biggest advice, and then be prepared for the mental challenge.”
Continuing the conversation Mustafa Ali noted that his school will not be one of those establishments that take your money even when they don’t see any potential.
Per the former X Division Champion, this school is a passion project for him rather than a financial one and he’ll be screening the applications carefully to find the candidates who really want to train with him.
