WWE: 10 Worst Matches In Royal Rumble History

6. Ahmed Johnson vs. Faarooq - 1997

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcr8DkfdZxM These two were feuding because Ahmed was the babyface that was coming back from an injury after Faarooq's Nation of Domination group injured him in 1996. I'm not sure how many matches Ahmed Johnson had with Faarooq, but none of them were ever good. There wasn't any chemistry between them. Faarooq was fine in the ring with the right opponent, but Johnson was pretty bad no matter who he was against. It was so bad that they had to do this spot where Faarooq was standing right on Ahmed's head, which led to Ahmed just powering up out of it. Then Faarooq jumped right into a powerslam. They nearly messed up a Spinebuster spot too. Then Ahmed hit a Spinebuster as he stopped selling the kidney injury he was supposed to sell. The match fell apart from there as Faarooq's Nation of Domination buddies went into the ring for the disqualification. After putting a Nation member through a table with a Powerbomb, at least Ahmed remembered to sell the kidney injury. The best part about this match is that it only went nine minutes. If it went longer it would have a higher ranking on this list.
