Which Backstage WWE Fight Does The Godfather Think Was The Best?
The Godfather has revealed the best backstage WWE fight he ever saw.
Ever wanted to know what the best backstage WWE fight The Godfather ever witnessed was?
Well, while speaking to Wrestling Shoot Interviews, the WWE Hall of Famer shed some light on which behind-the-scenes throw-down was at the top of his personal pile. If that wasn't enough, Godfather also revealed who the victor of the brawl was:
(h/t to Sportskeeda for transcription)
“Ahmed Johnson and D’Lo Brown, and D’Lo whooped his ass. D’Lo’s a real wrestler. I mean, he was a collegiate wrestler, and D’Lo had him hooked so bad and he (Johnson) is trying to tap out. D’Lo had him hooked so bad that me and Ron (Simmons) had to tell him, ‘D’Lo, let him go. Let him go, D’Lo,’ because D’Lo was gonna break his arm or something. But that was the best one I’ve seen.”
The Godfather later confessed that he couldn't recall what set the whole thing off, but he did note that Johnson's attitude at the time was most likely a cause for the eventual skirmish between the two:
“Don’t know, don’t remember. I just remember D’Lo and him going at it. I don’t remember why. Ahmed Johnson, he just didn’t get it. He didn’t fit in with us either, and so he didn’t get it. At that point everybody couldn’t stand him. I’m about the only guy that probably doesn’t have real nasty things to say about him. I just tell people he didn’t get it. He didn’t get it and we tried to help him. He just didn’t get it.”
After first appearing on WWE television in 1995, Johnson would go on to perform under the banner for another three years before departing. He'd then later work in WCW for a brief spell from 1999 to 2000.
The Godfather was last seen in WWE taking part in The Undertaker's retirement ceremony during the most recent Survivor Series PPV.
