10 Most Overrated Wrestlers Of The '90s
8. Ahmed Johnson
Ahmed Johnson's gigantic push in his first year with the WWE speaks volumes about just how desperate Vince McMahon was for new talent heading into the Attitude Era. Johnson, an untested and unproven former NFL player, captured the IC title in his rookie year and was actually set to compete for the WWE Championship two different times over the course of his exceptionally short run in the company.

That's not hyperbole, either. Ahmed Johnson wasn't just laughably bad, he was uncomfortably bad:
