Ahmed Johnson Says a Former WWE Champion Was Jealous of Him

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 the first call he got from Vince McMahon:

“I’m really short with him on the phone. I’m like, ‘Yeah, okay. Yeah.’ He started laughing. He said, ‘I’ll have your ticket there tomorrow.’ I was like, ‘Okay’, and I hung the phone up. I didn’t even say goodbye. I’ll be darned if the next day when UPS knocks on my door with a first class ticket to Stamford, Connecticut.”

On Yokozuna’s alleged jealousy:

“When I got to the big show, Vince called me and said, ‘I want you to go down, do a run-in, and bodyslam Yoko.’ He didn’t ask me, could I? He just said, ‘I want you to.’ So I went to Yoko and told Yoko that Vince wants me to slam you and Yoko was very jealous of me at that time because he said, ‘I came from nowhere and ended up on the top of the card.’ Yoko said, ‘Well I hope you can get me up because I’m not going to jump for you.’ I was like, ‘Damn. It’s like that, huh?’ So when I got to the ring, I was so fired up, man. It took everything I had to get him up and over, but I did it.”

On Scott Hall being helpful:

“Razor Ramon would sit by the curtain and watch my match and then when I got done, he would call me to the side and say, ‘Hey, do more of this. Do less of this. Do that. Don’t do that.’ Razor Ramon was the only one that stepped up to help me. All the rest of them, jealous as I don’t know what.”
