Ahmed Johnson recalled that during WrestleMania weekend, Owen Hart pranked Ahmed Johnson into thinking he was booked to be a guest on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno:

"He got me one time, he did a rib on me. WrestleMania. I was in my room and I got the phone call from The Jay Leno Show. He was telling me what time to be there, we talked a little bit. He was sending a limo to pick me up at 4 o'clock and I was ready to go. And, so I'm sitting outside at 4 o'clock. I went and bought me a new suit, I bought me new shoes, new watch and I was ready for the show. I was decked out. And then all of a sudden, Owen and Davey came out. They kept just standing outside staring at me. And I was like, 'Why are they out here?' and then Owen just bust out laughing. He was laughing so hard that he fell into the bushes. And I'm like, 'What's wrong with these two clowns?' Then Bret came out and told me 'Owen did that Ahmed, Owen called you. That wasn't The Jay Leno Show. That was Owen."
