WWE's Mustafa Ali Literally Had His Head Stapled Shut, And It's As Bad As It Sounds

WWE 205 Live star Mustafa Ali required surgery - or more specifically, stationery - after suffering a gruesome gash in a contest opposite cruiserweight champ Cedric Alexander in Paris last night.

French doctors digged into the supply closet after the match, temporarily closing the nasty head wound with over half a dozen staples. As most victims of high school bullies - or in the case of Spanish Angel, New Jack - can attest, staples-to-skin (and in the latter's case, the friggin' eye) are as horrendous as they sound.

Ali, leaving nothing to the imagination, rather generously posted an image of his brutal blessure to his Twitter account, whilst quipping, "Leaving Paris with a memento." We bet he'd have preferred a novelty Eiffel Tower statue.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
