Like him as a wrestler or not, you can't deny that Mustafa Ali has a heart of gold. The man was a Police Officer earlier in his career and always does his best to do right by fans. With the global coronavirus crisis on right now, a number of industries have been hit hard, and independent wrestling hasn't escaped it.

Due to lockdown or shelter in place orders in some States, a number of independent shows have been cancelled. One of the promotions hit was Freelance Wrestling. Ali himself is a former Freelance Wrestling World Champion. Ali Tweeted out that he would be donating to help cover some of the expenses. He also encouraged fans to donate whatever they could.

Scary times only exist when you feel like you’re on your own. I’ll be donating to cover all of the performers pay for the 1st event. I encourage anyone that is in the position to do so, please donate and allow these incredible artists to perform for you. @FreelanceWres is home. https://t.co/GC6RuNtFkJ

Ali made his WWE debut during the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, replacing Brazilian wrestler Zumba who had visa issues. Although Ali was knocked out in the first round, he was so impressive that WWE ended up signing him to a full time deal. Ali has definitely grabbed his chance in WWE with both hands and has improved considerably both inside the ring and as a talker.
