What challenges did Mustafa Ali face during his guitar coffin match?
Chris VanVleet! Chicago, what's good? Sold out, huh? Sold out. Beautiful, beautiful. Welcome back to Chicago. Yeah, I mean, I was here already, but Benji. You've been back, let me do it. Welcome back to Chicago, Chris. Hey! Welcome back also to, like, you maybe, like, I thought you weren't going to be able to walk after that guitar casket match. Did you guys see this? Oh, my gosh. I would say single-handedly one of the roughest nights I had. That thing that was constructed, it was, I think it was 500 pounds. So, you know, when we think about casket matches, my hope is to use the damn thing at some point. But it was very weirdly shaped. Obviously, it's shaped like a guitar. So I'm looking at it. I'm like, oh, there's no safe way for me to actually get tossed into this.
You know what I mean? So there goes half of my ideas. And when we got there, I was like, man, we're just going to have to kill each other. So that's kind of what I had. Well, I died more and more. But yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah, if you haven't had a chance to watch it, it's on YouTube. I'd watch it. Please, I have scars all over my body. What hurt us most in that match?
What was the scariest moment Mustafa Ali experienced in the ring?
My pride. I think everyone thought the backdrop off the ramp onto the chairs would've sucked. It didn't. It was a chokeslam into that damn thing. Cause we had, you know, I'm a very acoustic person and I don't mind talking a little inside baseball because it's 2026, grow the fuck out, right? He didn't swear, right? Okay, here, say whatever you want. Can he swear? I'll try to keep this worry now. It's Ramadan right now, so I'm going to... You know, I'm sure every battlefield people have heard, too. But I thought... There's, like, a lot of, like, acoustics that go into the mash planning. So at one point, Tasha steals accidentally, gets hit with the guitar by me, and then the gray hands also go through a table.
And then I was like, man, if I take this choke slam into a casket, it's just going to go... But acoustically, it doesn't sound like it was my dumb idea to put a door on top of it. And, man, that damn thing ripped me up. So, like, my back was bleeding and all that stuff. But, like I said, man, it was one of those things that even though the casket closed on me and I'm crying inside, but you just hear the rumble of the crowd as a standing ovation. You could hear they're calling for replays and all that stuff. And we got back to the locker room, and, you know, Carlos Silva was there and Tommy Dreamer and the whole thing. That's one thing I will say about TNA. Like, man, I've never been in a locker room like that.
We're like, it's legit. Everyone's rooting for each other. You know, I mean, nine times out of 10, I had mass the night. I mean, It is what it is, right? But it's like the locker room really is pushing the product and each other. And, like, it's one thing when you go out there and, like, it means the world to me, trust me, when the audience gives you that reception, that standing ovation. But to come back and your peers and do, like, Matt and Jeff Hardy are standing there, he's saying, Jeff Hardy's looked at me and says, you're crazy. That's what he is.
How did Brock Lesnar's advice impact Mustafa Ali's career?
I go, respectfully, there's rebels in this, and you're, no, bro, you're... Probably one of the greatest compliments of my life, sorry. I feel like you don't do a lot of 450s anymore. You save them for special occasions. And in that match, you did one off the top rope, to the outside, through a table. Yeah, so the problem with that one, too... This damn casket is so big, like I talked about. You know what I mean? So, I mean, it's no one's fault. It's Elijah's fault. It's no one's fault. But when he had positioned the table, it was kind of off, so... You know, we move on to the spot and I looked, I go, oh shit, the way he's laying on it and the way I have to come up the ropes because the casket's right there.
His knees are like where I need to land. I'm supposed to land on this horse. I go, well, either I'm about to break my ribs or he's about to break his knees. Good luck to you, Elijah. And I went for it.
