Prior to getting released from WWE, Mansoor was part of the Maxximum Male Models along with Mace. Their manager was Maxxine Dupri and before that, it was Max Dupri (the former gimmick of LA Knight). Recently, Mansoor took to Twitter to reveal that there was a different version of the Maxximum Male Models’ theme song.
The former WWE Superstar shared the theme song that was unused and also mentioned that it is the song that he liked a lot.
“Fun fact, Maximum Male Models originally had a completely different theme. We ended up not using this but I still like it a lot. Which version do you prefer?” Mansoor tweeted.
Mansoor’s father thought Mustafa Ali was Mansoor
Mansoor did not sign with WWE until 2018. During an interview with Wrestlezone’s own Bill Pritchard, the former WWE Superstar revealed that his father saw Mustafa Ali compete in an episode of 205 Live and then phoned Mansoor and asked him if he had signed with the Stamford-based promotion.
“This must have been 2017. So, I must have not even been signed. He must have seen that it was a picture of [Ali] in front of the 205 [television backstage]. I’ve tried to find that picture and I cannot find it, but it’s a picture of him in front of the 205 Live television backstage. For whatever reason, I don’t actually think he looks like me. But I will say in that picture, he does kind of look like me,” Mansoor said. “Plus, my dad’s pretty old, has pretty poor eyesight, so I don’t really blame him for that. But I remember getting a message from him going, ‘You’re working in WWE now?’ And I was like, ‘Ah, no, I haven’t even graduated college. Pretty sure you would have heard about it, Baba.’”
Mansoor also revealed that considering his own father mistook someone else for him, he doesn’t get mad when others mistake him for somebody else.
“That’s why it’s hard for me to be angry when people are [mistake me for someone else]. When I was working on the main roster, I’d travel to the show with Mace. We drive in the same car, and there’d be fans in the parking lot where we park to get into the building. Every now and then, they would be shouting, ‘Oh, who is it? Who is it?’ And then I’d come out and they go, ‘Ali, Ali, Ali!’. And I swear to God, one time Mace came out and somebody said, ‘R-Truth!’ I was like, ‘This guy’s six foot nine. This is not even close.’ That’s way more egregious. I actually also one time got Santos Escobar, so who knows.”
