Eventually, fans would find out why Ahmed Johnson decided to depart the WWF suddenly in 1998. According to the man himself, he left to take care of his sister, who was struggling with illness, but many people elected to believe that injuries were the real reason why. Showing up in WCW in late-1999, Johnson was renamed 'Big T', which is likely one of the most accurate names given to anyone in the wrestling industry, ever. Having gained substantial weight, it was difficult to see how the man could move around freely, and fans fears were quickly realised when he wrestled - blowing up badly just minutes into each match, Big T was making life hard for his opponents. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x708dm_big-t-vs-booker-t_sport The run - which had Big T forming a 'new and improved' version of Harlem Heat with Stevie Ray, didn't last long - and had Vince Russo's fingerprints all over it. The fact the guy faced Booker T for the rights to the letter 'T' at SuperBrawl 2000 says it all.
