7. Goldust Kisses Ahmed Johnson
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xihj59_goldust-administers-cpr-to-ahmed-johnson-raw-5-27-96_sport Date: May 27th In pro wrestling, there are numerous ways to begin a feud with someone else. Maybe they're a champion, and you become the top contender for their title. Maybe you turn on them, or they turn on you. All of those rules tend to go out the window when it comes to Goldust, who had a feud with Ahmed Johnson that revolved around an unwanted male-on-male kiss. After being hit with a top-rope forearm shot by Owen Hart, who was wearing a cast, Ahmed was "unconscious". He was taken to the backstage area where Goldust showed up and tried to revive him with mouth-to-mouth. Ahmed would wake up, notice the gold paint on his lips, put two and two together, and proceed to have one of the biggest meltdowns ever seen on wrestling television, including shoulder tackling a poor, unsuspecting man through a closed door and attacking a cameraman. It was a simple moment, but at that point in time, fans weren't all that used to watching two men kissing on television, even under mouth-to-mouth circumstances. If you watched it when it first happened, you would have thought that Ahmed was literally going to kill Goldust for what he did. Many have discussed how homophobic his response was, but he agreed to do the segment, so it's not like he truly has an issue with the entire thing.
