10 Most WTF Promos In Wrestling

2. We All Go A Little Ahmed Sometimes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNuz1sO8hss The first African-American to win the WWF/E Intercontinental championship (at a time when the IC title was genuinely the company€™s second-tier belt, widely viewed as a potential stepping stone to the big one), Tony €˜Ahmed Johnson€™ Norris was earmarked for greatness at one point. Why that was is a mystery for the ages€ it€™s not that Johnson was bad, merely that he was mediocre: in the ring, and especially on the mic. Johnson€™s intensity was compelling, until you realised that you could barely make out what he was saying: he was only just comprehensible at the best of times, like when he was delivering a pre-recorded promo. When delivering live in-ring promos, heard over a house mic as a one-shot deal, poor Ahmed had a mouth full of marshmallows. But what commitment! Never once did he stop, and wonder what on Earth was coming out of his wordhole: after all, this is professional wrestling, and the show must go on. Was Ahmed Johnson potentially the next big thing? Probably not. Was Ahmed Johnson a good, entertaining wrestler? Hell, no. Was Ahmed Johnson a hero? Yes. Yes, he was.
