WWE legend Ahmed Johnson recently appeared on the "Monte & Pharaoh show," where he talked about if he was given the chance to work with AEW or IMPACT Wrestling, will he take that opportunity.
Ahmed Johnson said:
“No, just too old.” “My bones couldn’t take it.”
Ahmed Johnson also talked about the tragic passing of Owen Hart at WWE Over the Edge and his reaction to the company pushing through with the show.
Ahmed Johnson said:
“That hurt me bad. I didn’t expect that, not from one of the top ring technicians, then I found out he fell from the roof.” “Extremely surprised the show went on. I think I would have said something, but I can’t lie to you, if that’s what the boss wanted was continue to show, then that’s what you have to do. I can’t lie to you and say, ‘I would have sat there and fought back.'”
Ahmed Johnson then spoke about the prank that WWE legends Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith pulled on him prior to WrestleMania 13.
Ahmed Johnson said:
“I was his hahas. He used to play hahas on me all the time.” “He used to get me good. One time, we were going to WrestleMania 13, I believe. They’re getting ready to do what they have to do, and my phone rings and it’s the Jay Leno Show. And so, I’m like, oh, that’s cool, and so he tells me, ‘Hey, this is Jay Leno. We’re going to see you at the studio tomorrow.’ I’m happy, I’m just excited. I get all dressed up, and I went and brought a new suit. I walk outside, and Owen and Davey Boy were outside.”
“And I’m like, why are they here? What are they waiting for? And I’m sitting there like an idiot dressed up right, getting ready to walk out. Bret walks out and starts laughing, telling me Owen played a haha on you. Owen did that. There ain’t no Jay Leno Show, and they’re laughing. They’re in the bushes they laughed so hard. They didn’t do anything but run.”
