Ahmed Johnson made history in WWE
Ahmed Johnson made his debut for the Stamford-based promotion in 1995, with his pay-per-view debut coming at Survivor Series that year.
He was involved in a traditional Survivor Series elimination match and won the match for his team alongside The British Bulldog. His first major accomplishment came when he won the Kuwait Cup in 1996, defeating Triple H in the tournament finals.
Later, he won the Intercontinental Championship at King of the Ring after he beat Goldust for the title. This made him the first African American Intercontinental Champion in WWE.
Injuries plagued his latter years in the sports entertainment giant, and he left the company in 1998. He joined WCW and wrestled as ‘Big T’ from 1999 to 2000.
