Ahmed Johnson

[JBone4eva]

The defining memory I have of him is when he entered the Royal Rumble in 1998 looking , took about two minutes to walk to the ring, had trouble getting in, had trouble standing up, moved with the speed of a tectonic plate (literally looked like he was moving in slow motion) and got gassed after about 30 seconds

When he was eliminated about five minutes later he literally collapsed outside the ring because he was exhausted



1:05 onwards, with bonus Owen Hart falling over and Lawler laughing at him

Look at 4:30, Mizzark goes to throw him out but this fool is so exhausted after three minutes of being in the ring he literally drops to his hands and knees

There was a good chance Ahmed could have gotten a run with the world title but he couldn't just stay healthy. Injuries kept him from reaching the next level.

I don't care, man. The Pearl River Plunge was a dope ass finisher



Ahmed's theme was piff too



But this pic will forever live in infamy

Remember when he played Suge Knight in that horrible MC Hammer VH1 movie?

Ahmed was still my dude

He reminds me of how much I liked him as a kid , why ? Because he was like a black superhero . There's a lot of black money being left on the table by wwe , don't they realize black people are a untapped fanbase for making shyt cool. Other forms of entertainment may mock wwe but rap can make wrestling references and get nonwrestling fans to Pop

yep exactly. my granddad(RIP ) LOVED Ahmed and he wasnt even a wrestling fan. Ahmed had been and gone for years and my grandad would still ask about him. It had never really occurred to me that there werent many black superstars and the ones they had were all on that shyt
