Mustafa Ali, an American wrestler of Pakistani origin, has returned to his hometown of Chicago emerging victorious "in a highly competitive match", World Wrestling Entertainment reported.

Israeli-Scottish wrestler Noam Dar and Ali put on a show of speed and agility on WWE 205 Live Wednesday, with Ali executing an Inverted 450 Splash for the win.

“The Scottish Supernova”, as Dar is also known, had gained an advantage in the contest when he targeted Ali’s arm.

However, Ali was resilient and battled through the pain, stopping Dar’s momentum with his speed.

Why do we take credit for his being a Pakistani? What have we even done for him to own him? Athletes in Pakistan are facing all sorts of troubles to reach some international arena to display their infinite talent.

@N_Saq .... You're right. The wrestling crowd is caught up in the action, cheers for the hero and boos the villain. Classic theatrical melodrama.
