Problem is, the Nation wasn't ever meant to be a comedy group. Even when they looked silly, they were trying to be taken seriously. Plus, when they turned silly, they were pretty much just a vehicle for propping up The Rock :P
Akeem, aka One Man Gang Flood Relief Fund. He lost his house in a terrible Louisiana flood. Help reach his gofundme goal of $20,000. www.gofundme.com/2lbn0us
This the best titantron video I've ever witnessed..The African dream's moves are smoother than silk!! That slick footwork and those obscure hand twists are hypnotic to watch. Accompanied by the legendary doctor of style and not to mention that this theme is some *serious* pimp shit! It is the funk!! Beautiful.
Ain’t gonna lie, I woke up this morning & out of the blue was wondering whatever happened to Akeem, his gimmick & dance moves used to be cringe when I was a kid but now I miss & appreciate them & those Golden Days of Wrestling!
@@wolfhurricane897 So? Everyone knows wrestling makes shit up. Why should africa have special rules? Just enjoy the show. I mean.....are those numbnuts getting upset undertaker is not really from death valley aswell? Allso, there are white africans far bleaker than akeem.
@@HajimeNoJMo well it was like they did with Kerwin White years later. Have someone of one race be something they aren't. Not to mention the racism was as subtle as a gunshot in a moment of silence. The skits that took place in an American ghetto called "deepest darkest Africa" didn't help.
He was interviewed and said he didn't really want to do it but Vince McMahon said "Well I have a spot for Akeem, but I don't have one for the One Man Gang." So he said ok I'll do it lol
You could reason with Vince but only if you could come up with something he liked more. Like how Mick Foley got Mason the Mutilatior changed to Mankind.
Jake the snake roberts mentioned that too, He didn't like the idea of wearing snake skin boots, spandex and having a snake but Vince said something like "That's a real shame, cause I've got big plans for whoever takes it. But if you don't want it...." at which point Jake changed his mind and took it. Bret Hart was originally a cowboy called Bobby "the heartthrob" Hart. But Bret convinced him he'd be shunned in Calgary because there "you don't play a cowboy unless you really are one."
That man better be in the next HOF or it's going to be a shame. He needs to be in there before Teddy Long. And I think he's the only manager with his own theme song that other wrestlers came out to.
Well I met this lady and I told her quite a story Said I'd love her forever more But the problem is I tell the same old story To every girl who walks through the door This is the Slickster talking at ya honey yeah ha ha Well first they love me and then they don't Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't So I said to this girl, "Hey you get out" And she got to her feet and she began to shout [Chorus] You're a jive soul bro, a jive soul bro And you're always lying to your friends You're a jive soul bro, a jive soul bro And you never get nothing in the end What you talkin about ladies? I ain't no jive soul bro I don't do nothin' but tell the truth, heh heh heh Well you'd think this dude might learn a lesson but I didn't learn a thing at all Well late last night I was out there messin with a lady that was 7 feet tall Now that was a big woman So I said, "Hey baby, spend the night at my house" She said, "No way you jive little mouse" I said, "Hey there, baby, can't take no more" So she threw me on the floor in a figu
I remember when Akeem was in a match. I think it was a tag team match,and when he ran into the top rope it snapped and he went flying at that ring and almost broke hes neck. Even Hulk Hogan was looking. Its was a blooper.
Me coming out of Black Panther
That, good sir, is the funniest thing I've heard in quite some time
ROFL
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Facts
They should have brought Akeem into the Nation of Domination in the late 90s.
Problem is, the Nation wasn't ever meant to be a comedy group. Even when they looked silly, they were trying to be taken seriously. Plus, when they turned silly, they were pretty much just a vehicle for propping up The Rock :P
😂😂😂😂😂
That would be been sick and funny af. Even if it were just for a one time run-in at a pay-per-view
Can you imagine if they just did a one time meeting of the nation and Akeem. Ron Simmons would just watch him dance and say "DAMN"
@@k1productions87 The team became silly when they kicked out Faarooq.
That fuckin' arm dance.... XD
Start a trend! Do that dance in a club! lol
@@BigDaddyN310 i've tried, I can't do it , never could. He was the best dancer I ever saw
One of the most agile big men of all time, very underrated.
@@ryannunez1545 Yokozuna :pardon ??
And one hell of a cook.
Vader: ahem.
@@wolfhurricane897 he did say ONE OF THE MOST...
Bam Bam Bigelow: Excuse me???
Akeem should have been the first African American WWF champion.
LOL! I totally agree!

akeem is the fucking one man gang trying to be cool
Ahahahaha!
Beautiful comment!
Joestir oh, no, he is African Ameican
I walked into the club all the time with this dance and now I got 7 kids.
😂😂😂
The realist black wrestler of all time AKEEM!
word......
real talk!
StormyKnight. definitely lol
Even though he was a ight skin black man. he never let it keep him down.
Dude's totally woke
Even ask child I knew the Akeem gimmick was ridiculous, but damn was it fun and entertaining!!!
Juan Sanchez seriously bro @ 7 id see him and be like wtf..man 😑🤦🏽♂️😆
I just couldn’t buy the character as a heel when I was in kindergarten
I'm so glad I grew up watching wrestling as a kid during this era. Late 80s/early 90s era WWF was awesome.
Proof that a PG product can still be entertaining. You just need some decent writers who can squeeze the most out of it
I APPROVE THIS
😂 Great stuff 👍
@Baby World Yes
Akeem my man
Yeah akeem great stuff

Akeem taught Slick all his dance moves. Legend.
This the best titantron video I've ever witnessed..The African dream's moves are smoother than silk!! That slick footwork and those obscure hand twists are hypnotic to watch. Accompanied by the legendary doctor of style and not to mention that this theme is some *serious* pimp shit! It is the funk!! Beautiful.
😂👍
Laughed in joy whenever Slick busts a move on the canvas
Ain’t gonna lie, I woke up this morning & out of the blue was wondering whatever happened to Akeem, his gimmick & dance moves used to be cringe when I was a kid but now I miss & appreciate them & those Golden Days of Wrestling!
Slick one said Akeem would be the first "black" champion!
if you aren't dancing to this, you're a jive soul bro.
It’s the Jive Soul Bro from the deepest Darkest Africa
The EPITOME of African American culture. What a legend !
One of the funniest gimmicks I've ever seen! Too bad they could never do this nowadays, you know that people would get butt hurt.
Can ya blame em? It's a white guy from South Carolina acting like he is from Africa.
@@wolfhurricane897 So? Everyone knows wrestling makes shit up. Why should africa have special rules? Just enjoy the show. I mean.....are those numbnuts getting upset undertaker is not really from death valley aswell? Allso, there are white africans far bleaker than akeem.
@@wolfhurricane897 I say the Doctor of Style has more authority to say who’s black over Brandon

I'm not offended, Akeem very entertaining
80s and early 90s was the golden era of both wrestling and bodybuilding.
Always loved watching Akeem dance to the ring when I was little.
I quite liked the Akeem gimmick. Brought a bit of fun into the night for me
He was interviewed and said he didn't really want to do it but Vince McMahon said "Well I have a spot for Akeem, but I don't have one for the One Man Gang." So he said ok I'll do it lol
I think that's the case for most of Vince's ideas.
You could reason with Vince but only if you could come up with something he liked more.

Akeem and Slick,what a double act.
😂😂😂this cured my depression😂😂😂👍
His arm dance moves were the bomb
From Memphis........... Egypt
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thirteen people are jive soul bros that never get nothing in the end, smdh.
Now we're up to 18 Jive Soul Bros!
Felix Brown 20 now
They all lie to their friends.
😂😂
Akeem and Big boss man a good team should have been a wwf tag team Champion
At least they broke up the Mega Powers 🤷🏿♂️
The real Twin Towers
OMG too bad people these days are so damn sensitive. A gimmick like this would be hysterical, but you know people would get offended by it.
Well it is a white guy being a black guy.
This has to be one of my favorite themes from the past! Great titantron!
👍🏻
the original Funkusaurus....
I like the drumroll that leads to the song lol
Me too!
Coolest gimmick ever! Very entertaining and very underated. Also, Jive soul bro is the dopest theme song ever. Good old days
Akeem was the African DREAM!!
This is the Slickster talkin' to ya honey.
Dude i always think of this song and entrance when 80s wrestling comes to mind! 💯🖤🤙
Man, The Slickster and Akeem knew how to dance
The best time of wrestling !!
Akeem accompanied by his manager.
The Doctor of Style
Slick!
The baddest music in WWE history!
yup! the only manager with his own theme music
What you talkin about ladies?? This is The Slickster talkin to ya! I don't do nothin but tell the truuuth! Heehh hehh heeehhhh
BigDaddyN310 SLICK!
PULL DAT HORN
Will march out of my wedding to this...
Great African Dream, AKEEM!!
There should have been a tag team dusty Rhodes and himself.... The African American dream!
The urban legend is Akeem was meant to be a parody of Dusty Rhodes.
Akeem is my favorite black wrestler
I sure can shook n’ jive!
This makes me so happy.
I thank Akeem for giving Post Malone life.. I know he's proud of his son✊🏾
Beating jive turkeys all day lol
akeem ass kicking machine
jive so bro
😂😂😂😂😂😂
akeem the Dream...
One of the coolest Guys in wwf
I walk like this right after clocking out.
Akeem the greatest black man that Never was 😂
Facts
ONE OF THE GREATEST IF NOT THE GREATEST THEME OF ALL TIME!!!!
Before Brock was the master of the boom box ..there was akeem the African dream 0:08
Good song
Let's get funky in here! AKEEM a Agile dance machine a Real hoot with moves!!
I will never forget his Clothesline on Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania V, 😳
"WOW! WHAT A SHOT!" - Gorilla Monsoon
@@JerGer918 I read that in his voice too 😂👍
Akeem was awesome one my childhood favourites
Fucking awesome song and beautiful to see Akeem and Slick killing the dancefloor!
Put slick in the hall of fame
Anyone ever done the Akeem dance up in the club?
The akeem gimmick was awesome : today, it would be over big time.
Underrated song!
From One Man Gang to this lol
The Twin Towers will destroy the New Day any day!
I love Slick's theme! It's so cool! hahahaha
That man better be in the next HOF or it's going to be a shame. He needs to be in there before Teddy Long. And I think he's the only manager with his own theme song that other wrestlers came out to.
He is the only manager left out of the holy grail of managers in the 80s in WWF to be inducted. He has to be inducted.
Kool Kumasi that is a shame. I didn't realize he was the last of 80's managers. Induct that man now!
tonoslim
Yeah man last one except Frenchy Martin he does not count didn't last long.
Kool Kumasi I agree.
Imagine Akeem in the New Day.
i wish I could move like Akeem, i'd get all the women
Akeem vs Uncle Ruckus at Wrestlemania.
Here here!
Shit watch out tax cheats IRS is here
Fuck the 80s were insane
Just brilliant
Managed by the Dr. of fn Style Slick!
Well I met this lady and I told her quite a story
Said I'd love her forever more
But the problem is I tell the same old story
To every girl who walks through the door
This is the Slickster talking at ya honey yeah ha ha
Well first they love me and then they don't
Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't
So I said to this girl, "Hey you get out"
And she got to her feet and she began to shout
[Chorus]
You're a jive soul bro, a jive soul bro
And you're always lying to your friends
You're a jive soul bro, a jive soul bro
And you never get nothing in the end
What you talkin about ladies?
I ain't no jive soul bro
I don't do nothin' but tell the truth, heh heh heh
Well you'd think this dude might learn a lesson but I didn't learn a thing at all
Well late last night I was out there messin with a lady that was 7 feet tall
Now that was a big woman
So I said, "Hey baby, spend the night at my house"
She said, "No way you jive little mouse"
I said, "Hey there, baby, can't take no more"
So she threw me on the floor in a figu
Akeem was awesome gimmick
Amazing. He should've had a bigger push, loved this guy.
He should of been the first ever black wwf champ
When white dudes like 90s hip hop they be acting like Akeem
Akeem is legend
I dunno which had to be more amazing. Vince turning the One Man Gang into this. or convincing a legit preacher to act like a pimp.
Simply fantastic!
Well thats the best thing ive seen all week😂😂😂😂😂
akeem vs the wyatt family that would be interesting to see
About Gabriel so would Irwin R Schyster. 😂
Nice song 👍👍👍 very entertaining
Hit like if u will do this dance when u come off that corona
this man was funny as hell lol
I remember when Akeem was in a match. I think it was a tag team match,and when he ran into the top rope it snapped and he went flying at that ring and almost broke hes neck. Even Hulk Hogan was looking. Its was a blooper.
Awesome entrance theme. Rev slick
wow what a dance master!!!!!
underrated gimmick and manager
So great.
Love the beat
Get it, Akeem! Get it! 🕺🏻
this is me leaving work early on a Friday afternoon!
Vince or who ever had to have seen Coming to America to come up with this...
YourGrandmom75 Akeem was Slicks idea
😂👍
Darth Soros And Slick also wanted the character to be a fan favorite
Work of art.
I love his gimmick, it went so well, black or not, it was kool gimmick
23 people are jive turkey's.
👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you
great job!
What a legend!
Totally forgot about this guy wow!!
