This week, former WWF Superstar and the first African American Intercontinental Champion Ahmed Johnson chats with Gregory Iron. If you have an opinion on Ahmed based on old shoots or the internet wrestling community, this interview may make you an Ahmed fan!

In this rare interview, Ahmed reminisces about Owen Hart ribs, his Wrestlemania 13 alliance with The Legion of Doom to battle The Nation of Domination and just how much of that match was scripted, his appearances in WWF video games Warzone & In Your House and what royalties looked like, getting unexpectedly kissed by Goldust and the individual that suffered after because it, and his historic Intercontinental Championship win at King of the Ring 1996 and what it meant to him.

The Pearl River Powerhouse also discusses his unique look and just who came up with wearing all of those knee pads on his body, defeating Hunter Hearst Helmsley for the Kuwait Cup and the strange treatment he got while in the country, joining The Nation, how close he was to winning the WWF Championship, his run as Big T in WCW, his thoughts on Undertaker, Yokozuna, D'lo Brown, Rocky Maivia, Ultimate Warrior, Sunny, and so much more.

Greg & Aaron Bauer relive the old Fun With Ahmed videos from YouTube, and Google Voice translates a call to the Iron-On Voicemail line from Hardcore Hawley.
