#3 Ahmed Johnson
The Man: Ahmed Johnson (Anthony Norris)
The Time: July 23, 1996
The Title: The WWE Intercontinental championship.
Anthony Norris trained for the ring under the legendary Skandar Akbar and Polish power Ivan Putski. With such a pedigree, one would think that he would have a bright future in sports entertainment.
Add in the fact that Norris was over three hundred pounds and immensely powerful, and you have a slam dunk...at least that's what WWE thought when they hired him. Dubbed Ahmed Johnson, he began a career as WWE's top midcard babyface.
He would capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship and barely hold it for a month.
Why he wasn't a memorable champion: Two massive flaws in Ahmed Johnson made him a poor choice as champion. One, which is often ridiculed to this day on the internet, is the fact that he was not a very good public speaker. Most of the time, people couldn't even understand what he was saying.
His other flaw was his propensity to hurt himself and his opponents. This led to time off for Ahmed, who could never maintain any real momentum.
