Over the years many stars have come and gone from WWE, and while some have made it to the top of the industry, others have struggled to find major success.
The company once had high hopes for Ahmed Johnson, and during a recent episode of Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard the former Intercontinental Champion was discussed.
According to Bruce Prichard WWE officials had big plans for Ahmed Johnson, and there were people behind the scenes who saw him as a future WWE Champion.
“Yeah, there were big plans for Ahmed Johnson and with him coming in. That son of a b–ch just ooze charisma when he came out and looked like he would kill you. So, very athletic. Could do some s–t. Did not know his own strength. Was not the greatest worker in the world by any stretch of the imagination.
“However, he was exciting and he was unpredictable. So, those were things that you could harness. We were hopefully going to be able to mold some of the unpredictability about him at least in the ring. Ahmed had the look.
“Ahmed was one of those guys that were on the shortlist of ‘I could see him as WWE Champion’, and no, he was never promised that. But he was one of those guys that internally, we looked at and down the line, could you get Ahmed as WWE Champion? Yes.”
