The SGM Super 30 Black Professional Wrestler #20

Ahmed Johnson

I used to love watching Ahmed Johnson work in the ring. He was pretty agile for a guy his size. He was a powerhouse. Plus, every time he turned around, if he didn’t injure someone else, he injured himself.

Ahmed may best be remembered for his confusing as hell feud with the Nation of Domination, which was constantly having to be re-written due to his frequent injuries. But my personal favorite was his feud with Goldust. Truly, pure wrestling involves a homosexual male in face paint pursuing a husky black man in the name of romance, while the Intercontinental title he holds is merely an incidental. It’s a classic equation:

(GAY + INTERRACIAL) / CHAMPIONSHIP = RATINGS, BABY!!
