Vince brought Ahmed in after seeing the Physique, he thought he was getting the black Ultimate Warrior, but instead what he got was.... the black Ultimate Warrior.
He had a cool repertoire of moves that he did excellently and seemingly safely..plus the swag that slowly built up week to week back then..D LO leg drop then count!
No he wasn’t he injured a lot of people and hurt stone cold I believe , and basically killed Droz . He is a dirt bag . He was very reckless and had no talent . He’s scum never even apologized
D'Lo Brown and Savio Vega were the 2 most under-utilized mid carders in the WWF in the late 90s. They were like Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko and all the other mid carders in WCW who never went anywhere but deserved pushes. If you wanted someone who could have a good match and put someone like Steve Austin or The Rock over when they're just starting out in WWF, put them with D'Lo or Savio. 2 of the best pure workers WWF had around that time.
The rock standing up for Taka it’s one of the coolest thing the great one has done since he was bully by DX it’s nice to see he didn’t turn out to be like them
@@Charsi_Escobar so u and koko the clown going act like triple h and shawn didnt become megastar in their own right but praise the rock like he above everybody
@@kevint1899 HHH and Shawn obviously became famous but I would say The Rock is definitely more famous than both of them put together yes. Outside of wrestling, HBK is not very famous at all actually.
Shawn Michaels was the first European Champion securing the Career Grand Slam… won it in England against the British Bulldog, the beginning of Degeneration X
Ahmed was apparently brutally abused when he was younger by his father. This according to a 15-20 year old shoot video interview. One can hope he got the mental health support he needed, let alone admitted he needed it and agreed to do it. You can tell in these post WWE older videos with him that he's super analytical and smart, but there's a big roadblock in there that needs attention; his mental health.
This is true. I had WWF magazine back in the day and it had a REAL interview with Ahmed just being Ahmed. He told horrible stories about getting beat at home, passing out from having boiling water dumped on him as a kid. I always factor in his psychological damage, I feel bad for him, but there's only so much you can excuse, you know?
@@Revidescent84 agreed. It's horrible, and can never be excused. No one should have to endure it - but Ahmed the "wrestler" was horrendous and took serious liberties. He wasn't ready for the big league when it was handed to him, and suffered delusions of grandeur as a result. Vince has a fair bit to be blamed for too, loved his big musclehead men a bit too much........
Godfather said: He didn't get it D'Lo Brown said: He didn't have a clue It seems everyone who has ever worked with Ahmed said that Tony didn't have a clue. Kinda reminds me of Tony Atlas, except Ahmed didn't have a thing for feet (that we know of).
Ahmed had the rocket strapped to him so he was a prima donna. He didn’t take care of his opponent in the ring because he was sloppy. It didn’t sound like he was interested in getting better in the ring. He took Taka’s finisher and used it as a high spot despite being told not to. He started altercations backstage.
This is from 2010. He may still be on the indie circuit. After what happened with Droz, he was never the same. Probably hurt his career. They became really tight after the accident 😢.
@@Jestin612 It wasn't D Los fault. He was never a sloppy worker. He can't forgive himself and couldn't perform on the same level because of it. He's literally the nicest person on earth.
Dlo was a great performer I feel bad for what happened to Droz I saw in interviews dlo didn’t mean to hurt him and was heartbroken. He seems a good man RIP Droz
And Droz never once blamed DLo. He knew it was a dangerous business, and knew there was nothing intentional or negligent. In Droz’s later years, they even did appearances/signings together.
Ahmed was interviewed this week and told the reporter that all d lo did was put him in a full Nelson in front of the boys and is going around saying he beat me. Ahmed said, I was in the bloods ( there are pics in the past in the wwf magazine confirming this), u think I would lose to d lo,please. It’s on UA-cam for those who want to listen. The interviewer is wearing a white shirt. 59:25 is the time in the interview, and just type Ahmed Johnson and he says how it really went down.
The full nelson is literally what D'Lo said he did. Ahmed's offering nothing new to the story, or "how it REALLY happened." - D'Lo didn't say he "beat Ahmed", he just diffused a situation with a full nelson.
that's exactly what dlo just said...thats even worse 4real though being that big and be pinned up in the full nelson and stuck is kinda embarrassing.. he couldn't break that ...dlo must be strong as a mutha
D'lo said the same thing, he just put him in a hold and said "are you proud of yourself?" If you get put in a full nelson and can't get out, you lost, end of the story.
As soon as Ahmed's name was mentioned, you just see D'Lo deflate a little. As if to say: "Oh, this f*cking guy!". Been on a binge of watching people rip on Ahmed Johnson, and each one is better than the last. I think my fave so far is Godfather's take on things.
I always loved D-lo, I wish he'd have had a longer run in wwe. The man was talented as FUUUUUCK.... love his strut on the way down to the ring, his attitude, EVERYTHING. Hes awesome!
Taught Ahamed Johnson was awesome in the mid ninetys,shame the guy seemed to have such a bad attitude back stage. If he had been smarter he could have had a long career but sadly just became another what if story.
Honestly respect to The Rock for protecting Taka’s finish like that. It’s nice to hear that the lower card guys still got respect in the locker room
D-Lo mimicking Ahmed’s voice is pure gold 😂😂😂😂
There's seems to be a rule in professional wrestling. When you quote somebody in a shoot interview, you also have to imitate his voice.
Truth!
Ion no if im reddy fo dis 😂
Imma moke yo ass!
pure gold, Jerry, pure gold!
His face when dude asked about Ahmed at the beginning is priceless. LMAO
Outright disgust the - “Aww please this nigga?!” ::sucks teeth:: look
Pure disgust on his face. LMAO
😂😂😂😂
I felt that "ugh" lmao
Right. I just started to burst out laughing from there. LMAO
Ahmed Johnson was right about one thing….he wasn’t ready to be wwf champion.
Vince brought Ahmed in after seeing the Physique, he thought he was getting the black Ultimate Warrior, but instead what he got was.... the black Ultimate Warrior.
Ahmed looked so perfect, suited his character and was absolutely over as hell. I can’t envision anything or anyone stopping his push but himself.
MUCH respect for D'Lo. Always loved his wrestling, and as a person, oozes with humility!!
Good Wrestler!!‼️💯💯
Great wrestler. But didn’t have the muscular body Vince fantasies about, or he woulda got a huge push
Vince gets moist for the big boys
Couldn’t Stan this guy still can’t.
@@robertebert3641 Sound about as dumb as Ahmed Johnson
D'lo was such an underrated talent. The Sky High was a thing of beauty.
facts. sky high and lo down were my 2 favorite moves. I always played with on on WM2000 on N64
He had a cool repertoire of moves that he did excellently and seemingly safely..plus the swag that slowly built up week to week back then..D LO leg drop then count!
The lowdown was the shit too
No he wasn’t he injured a lot of people and hurt stone cold I believe , and basically killed Droz . He is a dirt bag . He was very reckless and had no talent . He’s scum never even apologized

Great googly moogly
0:04 That reaction say's it all, from smiling to that!
Bro the sigh and pause D'lo gave was gold and I busted out laughing 😂😂😂😂 pretty much says what it was like to work with Ahmed.
Aww, that SIGH at the beginning.
Interviewer: "What did you think of Ahmed Johnson?"
D'Lo: "Mild PTSD attack"
booooooo
@gilesman5000 that sigh was priceless lol

I remember Ahmed did actually do the michinoku driver in at least one match. It got a huge pop so he picked the guy up and did it again
😂😂😂
Best Ron Simmons impersonation ever!
Just the sigh at the beginning was enough 😀 could have moved onto the next question after that
Aw the hell with Taka man he like 12 inches tall
Fuck that was so funny
Man I can’t get myself together this is hilarious 😂😂😂
One of my favorite wrestlers back in the day.
“You’re looking at the real deal now”
One of the greatest European champions ever
I love the way henry describes this ain't nobody mokin nobody
Ima deal with you in a second 😂😂😂
D'Lo seems like a cool dude. One of the best IC Champions in my opinion
And Euro champ too. He had one of the best movesets in WWF at the time.
@@joshuagumpert8910 He was much better in TNA. Check out his series with AJ styles, some of the best wrestling I've ever seen.
D-Lo still has the head shape of a newborn baby 😅😅😅
It would’ve been funnier if he looked down and said I think you better recognize
And the headshake
And said y'all lookin at the real deal now!
And said
DOOOOOOOOOWN WITH THE BROWN ?
Imagine his catchphrase being “are you fucking proud of yourself!”
D'lo was one of my favorites. Nobody could shake their head like him!
Just like Sunny, it seems everybody got a piece of Ahmed 😂
Lol this explains why Ahmed did the michinoku driver twice during his match with Chainz when he got kicked out of the NOD lmaooo

It's not a wrestling shoot interview if the subject in question doesn't have a ridiculously accurate impersonation of whoever they're talking about.

The Nation Ahmed stories are always tremendous
"ima moke yo ahh"

Ahmed Johnson supposed to wrestle the undertaker for the wwf championship at wwf Canadian stampede,vader became his replacement
Love D'lo met him a few times great guy
I always liked D'lo. Def in boy stable.

D Lo's impersonation was absolutely amazing
D’Lo impression of Ahmed is hilarious 😂
Like hearing this story
D-lo was my guy growing up
Another Underrated wrestler!
"Are you fukin proud of yourself?" is a top tier humbling statement lol
Ahmed Johnson never completely fit in with the other guys in the locker room.
D'Lo face sed everything after that question
D lo is one of the best
D-lo was criminally under rated man!
Man i love d'lo hes definitely a stand up dude
D lo is such a gentleman
