EdgarTheSlouch Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Ahmed Johnson was great, wasn't he? He was great from when he slammed big Yokozuna until he lost the IC belt by Farooq penalty kicking his liver. Anybody else agree? I'd have him in the Hall of Fame just for that period. I thought Ahmed was amazing. Like "next Hulk Hogan" amazing. Right up until his failed heel turn with the Nation, after which he kinda just fizzled out and didn't really do much in between injuring himself every couple of weeks. I remember being gutted when he didn't make the title match with The Undertaker at IYH 16. I genuinely thought he had a shot at taking the belt. Looking back it's pretty hilarious how clumsy he was, especially after hearing the numerous reports from other guys about how horrible he was to work with. He was pretty much the Ultimate Warrior of the New Generation, but without the success.  My lasting memory of Ahmed now (apart from showing up in WCW with a massive gut) was him managing to slice his hand open on a nail sticking out of the announcers desk on Raw, then wearing a ridiculously huge bandage for the next couple of weeks.  *EDIT*  That's a lie, I'll also never forget this Ahmed promo which actually closed Raw one week - . At the time I genuinely didn't understand what he was saying, though it's slightly clearer now.   Agreed the fizzing out and also the first kinda 18 months being great. After the Nation kicked him out, he wasn't quite jobber fodder but close.  All in all this is probably my favourite Ahmed match  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted July 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 I remember they were discussing it on the WrestlingClassics.com board and somebody said the bloke was a friend of Ahmed's from his old Global days in Texas. Definately 100% wasn't D'Lo. He done him at Wrestlemania 13 though. Spot looked really nasty too. Â Got a bit confused there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I loved that period when Ahmed was putting random Nation members through tables. I bet the ones taking it were shitting themselves.

Ant Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Not directly wrestling related but a Cirque du Soleil performer fell 50 feet to her death during a show at the weekend. Â It shows things can go wrong with the experts, never mind non specialist companies like WWE re: the Owen tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamp Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) There was a LA Park vs. Santo vs. Wagner match this weekend which ended with Santo working an angle where he had to get taken to hospital. How good does that sound?  Traditional Championship Wrestling have seemingly signed some sort of TV deal. Looks a decent little outfit, might give them a go. http://tcwwrestling.com/  The first pan of the crowd in that is brilliant. There's a few people in ECW shirts chanting "TCW" with nobody else doing so and then there's a bored looking teenager who looks like the living definition of a 'smark'.

Loki Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Doesn't look too shabby though, their tv. They got Lane Hoyt looking pretty well, and also some huge guy Titan? Â Plus, great poster: Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Maverick Posted July 1, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) I used to like a football shirt, not sure if that's the same thing though. Might be abit intimidated if she was decked out in full nWo gear. Edited July 1, 2013 by Maverick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
