#2 His wrestling idols

Mansoor idolizes some top WWE Superstars

Picking up from the previous two points, there are several men who have inspired Mansoor to get to where he is today.

At 6 feet tall, weighing less than 200 lbs, Mansoor is heavily influenced by legends of the sport who were similar in size to him when they made a huge impact on the industry. He’s revealed that former WWE Superstars like Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, and Christian are among the top men who he idolizes.

However, it’s Daniel Bryan who has had the biggest impact on the Saudi-born Superstar. Mansoor has stated that he wouldn’t have reached this far and become a WWE Superstar if it wasn’t for Bryan, and when he got back into wrestling at around 14 years of age, he didn’t really believe he had what it takes to become a top wrestler.

Mansoor’s revealed that he even though of interning at the WWE Headquarters, and becoming a production guy in the future. In 2013, Mansoor watched Daniel Bryan defy all odds to become a Champion at SummerSlam 2013, and that night he realized that he too could achieve his dreams if he worked hard enough for them.
