• Former WWF Writer On What Could’ve Led To Ahmed Johnson’s Push Ending
During a recent appearance on Off The SKript podcast, former WWF writer Vince Russo gave his opinion on why Ahmed Johnson’s push came to an end in the WWF.
Here’s what Russo said:
“Bro, all it could take is him hurting a top guy in the ring. You know what I’m saying, bro, and when you say he was in and out… because, bro, when they’re laying out this match [Royal Rumble 1998], who’s the worker?
How are we gonna get the best match? Who’s not gonna be in the way and F this thing up? That’s how Pat Patterson is really laying out this match. But, bro, like I said, it could be as simple as a top guy getting hurt by him, that top guy going to Vince. Bro, I’m telling you, stuff like that is all it takes.”
