Ace Perry is one of the independent wrestling stars of IWA Midsouth, but this week he's become a viral sensation for one of the coolest acts any athlete has done. After a recent match this week, Perry grabbed a microphone for a post-fight announcement involving one of his biggest fans, Amanda Styles, who happens to be autistic. Perry spoke about how great of a fan Amanda is and then asked her if he could be her date to her junior prom. Watch the video below to find out her answer, and try not to cry with happiness in the process!

Clearly, this is amazing. Perry has been receiving plenty of praise for this action, but as he said on his recent Facebook post, "I just heard she deserved it. And it made her happy, glad I could help out. Thank you guys. Let's not forget who's the superstar here!"
He then tagged Amanda in the post to make sure she was seeing all of the attention they've been getting, too.
Perry isn't the only wrestler that has showed some love to Amanda. According to With Spandex, another IWA Mid-South wrestler, Jason Saint, shared some words about the great fan while also talking about Perry's Prom proposal.
"Amanda is an autistic wrestling fan that comes to every IWA Mid-South show. Not just IWAMS, but she tries to go to every wrestling show that the area has, from the WWE to the smaller indie companies," Saint explained. "She's always cheering on her favorites and reassuring those she dislikes of exactly what she thinks (yours truly, being one of them). Away from the ring, she has a true appreciation for everyone that entertains her, and has respect for everybody that works on every show."
This is definitely one of the coolest feel good stories of the year. Let us know if you agree in the comments section below!
