Ahmed Johnson Speaks On His Steroid Issue
In the King of the Ring pay per view event of 1996, Ahmed was given his first big break when he faced Goldust for the WWE Intercontinental championship. He defeated Goldust to win his first and only major Championship in WWE.
Two months after he was forced to vacate the title after he got attacked by Farooq and he picked up a kayfabe injury. Professional wrestling Legend Marc Mero won the Intercontinental championship after that and Ahmed could never win any Championship in WWE after that.
But this also marked a feud between Ahmed and one of the most dominant stables in the history of WWE, the Nation of Domination. This was not only the best feud that Ahmed had in his WWE career, but it was considered as one of the best feuds that the Nation of Domination had as well.
Soon after he was released from WWE. He went to the WCW after that and had a short career there. He also spent a number of years on the independent circuit after that before finally taking retirement from Professional wrestling in 2003.
Ahmed Johnson who is a former WWE Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to Monte & The Pharoah where he talked about the issues he had regarding steroid use. He said;
“It’s exactly as it says it does. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can hurt yourself real bad. It was something that you had to do, basically, if you were going to stay up top. Just about all the boys were on it.
“They won’t tell you that. That’s a weird one. I don’t know why they would be more open about drugs and alcohol. I took a test, and that’s the only thing I ever took. I didn’t stay on a full cycle on them. So my testosterone level and stuff, I’ve been blessed. Everything is good. Health is good.”
