6 WWE Superstars who lied to the company in order to get signed

#4 Ahmed Johnson lied to WWE about his age

Probably not the most memorable former WWE star, but Ahmed Johnson was part of WWE's roster from 1995 until 1998 when he made the move over to WCW.

Johnson made his first WWE appearance in July 1995 when he was 32 years old and has since admitted that at that age he already had a number of niggling injuries.

Of course, the former WWE star couldn't admit this to the company when it came to signing a contract so he lied about his age, and instead of telling WWE that he was born in 1963, he told them that he was born in 1972 which only made him 23.

Johnson retired from the wrestling business back in 2003 and has since gone on to obtain a degree in criminology. There were many rumors still circulating regarding his initial contract with WWE, something that Johnson finally put to bed back in 2013

“For those of you that didn't know, I was already in my thirties when I went to WWF. I lied. I was not born in 1972, or '69 or whatever the Internet says. I was born in 1963. I was already on my way to being an old man. So of course I had some injuries.”

Since his retirement, Johnson has worked for Booker T and Stevie Ray's Pro Wrestling Alliance wrestling school.
