Former Intercontinental Champion Ahmed Johnson recently made an appearance on Monte & The Pharaoh. Johnson has developed a reputation of being too stiff in the ring, and the hosts brought up the D’Lo Brown and Darren Drozdov incident where a botch powerbomb from Brown caused “Droz” to suffer a severe neck injury, rendering him a quadriplegic. Johnson responded to the notion that Brown was dangerous in the ring.
“Well, I agree with your statements, 100%. There was a match one time when we were wrestling, and he did the leapfrog thing he does, and I wasn’t even in place yet and he went and did it anyway,” Johnson recalled. “That jerk-a** boy, he’s not a friend of mine. I will say I probably did work stiff. Honestly, I was a little green when I came in, but the boss is the boss. He puts you in there and says, ‘You do this, you do that,’ or you don’t have a job the next morning.”
The accident was recently discussed on Dark Side of the Ring in the “Brawl for All” episode. Drozdov, to this day, does not blame Brown for the accident, and Brown has taken responsibility for the accident. Johnson also discussed the allegation that Brown did not contact Drozdov after the accident.
“I agree with you. How could you ruin somebody’s life or change their life course and not take care of them, not be there for them,” Johnson said. “I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard rumors that he will go times without calling Droz. I paralyze you and change your life, and I’ll be calling you every day. I don’t think he showed enough gratitude.”
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry has recently called out Johnson for his remarks on Brown. He refuted the rumor of Brown not contacting Drozdov noting that he and Brown are still in contact with Drozdov to this day. Johnson also talked about the moment when Goldust kissed him backstage after being knocked out by Owen Hart.
“First of all, I didn’t realize he was gonna even do that,” Johnson admitted. “We rehearsed it, and he put his hand over my mouth and he kissed his hand. When we went live, he thought it would be funny not to put his hand there, and he did it real. And unfortunately, some jobber at the door had to pay for it. He got out of there. He got his bag and went straight out the back door, but Dustin, he’s cool with me, man. I got no problem with Dustin.”
After Johnson was resuscitated by Goldust, Johnson went on a rampage in the backstage area. Johnson then opened up about being on “the gas” (steroids).
“It’s exactly as it says it does,” Johnson stated. “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.”
“I loved working with FTR, I loved working with LAX, I was really pumped. I felt really bad because we went to Charlotte and one of them ripped up their arm in one of those corners, he ripped his whole arm up on TV and we had to go straight to TV, and that feud kind of ended.”
The former WWE tag team recently captured the AAA Tag Team Championships, which Konnan believes is great for business as it will give them the opportunity to grow in a brand new market.
“It’s great for business, it’s great to see FTR as I don’t think they’re too well known in Mexico. They’re going to be very well known now, so they’re going to come down, that’s another market for them to be known in, that’s always good. And for AEW to grow, as you know Mexico is a very, very important market. People sleep on them and sometimes even disrespect them, but that’s an important market and you’ve got to know it. It isn’t just because I am popular in the United States I’m going to be popular in Mexico, it doesn’t actually work that way. But anyway, that’s real good that they’re coming down.”
Konnan then spoke about the Forbidden Door and how many wrestlers from AAA have been able to work for AEW, as he states that the company’s working together is something he likes.
“I like the fact that we’ve brought talent, you know like Pentagon and Fenix who are now signed to AEW, or Jack (Evans) and Angelico, or Sammy Guevara was here for a little bit. So, it’s really cool to see all those people shining in AEW and I’m sure that there’s going to be a lot of talent coming over there once they’ve got their visas fixed. I like the cross-pollination between company’s, unlike when I started where no company was working together, none of this was happening.”
Finally, Konnan revealed that when he appeared with AEW, an unnamed member of the roster actually questioned why the company had hired him as they felt he was harsh towards the company via his podcast.
“I’ve actually had a star in AEW come up to me and go, ‘I can’t believe they hired you here, you s--t on us so much.’ I go, ‘correct. Let me correct you there, I don’t s--t on you. What’s good I put over, and what isn’t good I bury, and I do that with Raw too, and SmackDown, not just with you guys.’ Anyway, I love AEW and what they’re doing and I love the people there, much success to Tony Khan, I love that guy, he’s a real cool dude
