#2: AHMED JOHNSON vs. FAROOQ (w/ Nation Of Domination).
Trending
Ahmed Johnson rushes in and tackles Farooq right onto the mat. It’s an all-out brawl considering what happened last week.
But, this is where my meter ticks off. You see, when two people are brawling in the WWF, we all consider that this is a “brawl”. But, back in those days, if two “black people” are brawling in the WWF, Jim Ross keeps pointing out that Ahmed and Farooq are “taking it to the ghetto”, and how it is an all-out “turf war”.
Are you getting the ‘hood’ vibes here? Yeah, well, it is what it is.
Back to where the action’s at- The audience is clearly behind Ahmed Johnson, and they voice their support for him by cheering his name loudly. This is probably because he’s a crossover star from the NFL just like Ronda Rousey is from the UFC. So it is a HUGE DEAL.
But unlike Rousey, Johnson isn’t known for his “undeniable” in-ring skills. No, as far as I’m concerned, this match is bound to be a disaster if they keep dragging it.
Also, unlike Ronda Rousey, Ahmed Johnson’s wrestling tights/trunks keep slipping off with every bump he takes, revealing an exposed butt cheek jiggling its way into the television sets of millions of fans watching the PPV from home.
Anyways, they keep this match slightly under 10 minutes, which makes it somewhat interesting. Johnson even delivers a mid-air Power-slam when Farooq jumps off the top-rope.
Ahmed Johnson wins by DQ when N.O.D members jump him out of nowhere. He manages to fend them off, and some cowards from the faction even run-off backstage
However, Johnson is not done. He grabs a random N.O.D member, and delivers a Pearl River Plunge, sending the poor guy right through the French Announce Table, which prompts Jerry Lawler to go— “I think we just lost transmission to France!”
Pretty good post-match events and the match was not spectacularly bad, to say the least.
RESULT: Ahmed Johnson wins via DQ.
