5 things we learned from Ahmed Johnson's Sportskeeda interview

#3 Why Ahmed Johnson won't be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

Ahmed Johnson reportedly had a falling out with Vince McMahon in 1998

Given what Ahmed Johnson achieved during his short career with WWE, many have raised the question of why The Pearl River Powerhouse hasn't been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame yet.

Being the first African American to win a singles championship in WWE, Ahmed Johnson is a pioneer in professional wrestling. Therefore, some would consider him a natural pick for the Hall of Fame.

However, when asked why he hadn't been inducted into the Hall of Fame, Ahmed Johnson revealed that his WWE departure and subsequent falling out with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is the reason why he has yet to be inducted:

"Because me and Vince had a falling out. Right when i left. We had a falling out. He told me then i wouldn't be in the hall of fame because of our falling out. He actually told me that."

Johnson was then asked if his WWE departure and falling out with McMahon stemmed from contractual differences or anything else:

"It was that and other little things. But yeah, it was a lot of contractual differences."

Despite not yet being inducted into the Hall of Fame, Ahmed Johnson did reveal who he would like to induct him should he ever get the call from WWE and Vince McMahon:

"Who would i want to induct me? There's some good questions. Let me see, probably Al Snow. Because we didn't just have a match. Al took me in and taught me a few things. He was kind of like an off the clock instructor."
