10 Unbelievable Wrestling Road Stories (That Actually Happened)

9. Owen Hart Ribs Ahmed Johnson About TV Appearance

At the height of his fame in the WWF of the mid-90's, it seemed that Ahmed Johnson was being positioned for a possible crack at the main event scene. Looking back to how the man was portrayed on television, it's obvious that Vince McMahon had taken a shine to the man, and he quickly became heavily featured. One of the most notorious rib-artists to ever trick and joke his way through the locker room was Owen Hart, and he got Johnson good with an elaborate prank. Calling Ahmed's hotel room one evening, Owen claimed to be from The Tonight Show, and said the prime time show was interested in having Ahmed Johnson as a guest. So convincing was the prank that Ahmed immediately rushed out and bought some expensive clothes to wear during his interview. Outside the hotel, Johnson was waiting for the promised limousine which would take him to the studio. Leaving the building, Owen remarked that the car was late, which gave the game away, and prompted the Canadian star to laugh himself silly.
