In an exclusive for WrestlingNews.co, Steve Fall interviewed former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ahmed Johnson. During the interview, Johnson talked about how he was signed by WWE and the call he got from Vince McMahon, his run in WWE and why plans for him to win the World Title were derailed, his issues with Ron Simmons, the Nation of Domination, Shawn Michaels and The Kliq, why his run in WWE ended, WCW, issues with Booker T and what Hulk Hogan said to him in WCW. Scroll down to watch the entire interview.
Ahmed Johnson on Jeff Jarrett stiffing him with a framed record shot to the head:
“The first time it didn’t break. The second time, I don’t think it broke. I don’t know. I don’t remember. The first time it didn’t break so he did again and that pissed me off because we didn’t say we’re gonna do it twice. He was determined to try to smash that thing on my head. That was, once again, I think some jealousy coming from the back.”
Ahmed Johnson on Goldust kissing him:
“Well, the idea was, he’s supposed to take his hand and cover my mouth and you kiss his hand instead of my mouth, but he thought he was gonna do a haha and he was going to kiss me for real. And I was like, you gotta be kidding me and it was live TV so I couldn’t get up and do what I wanted to do because we had the script already, and I was like, well, all I can do is get him back.”
Ahmed Johnson on Faarooq (Ron Simmons) purposely allegedly injuring him on WWE RAW:
“Yes. You know, when you’re in the ring and you give your body to that person, you expect that person to take care of you. That’s the name of the game, but no, he ran out, man, and did a full NFL kick to my open rib. I opened myself up for him because I knew he was gonna give me a kick, but not like that, but he gave me the full NFL kick, but he paid for it at Street Brawl. I didn’t have any kidney issues until that happened. What Ron did, Ron was on a podcast where he admitted that he was jealous of me. I give him credit for that. He’s actually the first guy that came out and admitted that he was jealous of me.”
