Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ahmed Johnson, aka Tony Norris, played in the NFL for which franchise before he began wrestling?

Answer: Dallas Cowboys

Norris gave up a possibly lucrative career as a linebacker in football to pursue a career in Pro Wrestling.

2. In November 1995, Ahmed Johnson won the USWA (United States Wrestling Association) Unified World Heavyweight title. Who did he beat to win the title?

Answer: Jerry Lawler

Whereas this victory was Ahmed Johnson's only reign with the USWA Title, Jerry Lawler won the USWA Title a record 27 times. However, the USWA Title is not recognised as a wrestling 'World' Title in the same way as the AWA, WWE and WCW World Titles were.

3. At "Royal Rumble" 1996, who did Ahmed Johnson defeat by disqualification?

Answer: Jeff Jarrett

Jarrett was disqualified for hitting Johnson with a guitar, something he still does in nearly all of his matches to date.

4. On March 29, 1996 Ahmed Johnson won a Slammy Award in which category?

Answer: New Sensation

Despite losing out to Bret Hart in the "Best Finisher" category, Johnson won the "New Sensation" prize. The Slammy Awards were held annually until 1997, and were 'worked' prizes in the WWE. Traditionally the awards cermony was held the night before "WrestleMania".

5. At "King of the Ring" 1996 Ahmed Johnson won the WWE Intercontinental Title. Who did he defeat?

Answer: Goldust

The mistake Goldust made was to kiss Ahmed. This sent Johnson mad with rage, and after a "Spinebuster" and a "Pearl River Plunge", Ahmed was the Intercontinental Champion.

6. Johnson held the Intercontinental title for three months, eventually losing it due to injury. Who won the tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion?

Answer: Marc Mero

Johnson lost the belt due to a kidney injury that meant he couldn't wrestle. Mero won the tournament and Johnson never regained the Intercontinental Title.

7. Ahmed Johnson had a long-running feud with the "Nation of Domination". Who were his two partners when he took on the NoD at "WrestleMania XIII" in a Chicago Street Fight Match?

Answer: The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom

The Legion of Doom hit the "Doomsday Device" on Crush of the Nation of Domination after a whack with a 2x4 to get the victory.

8. Ahmed Johnson made it to the semi-finals of the 1997 "King of the Ring" tournament, but who defeated him to move on to the final?

Answer: Hunter Hearst Helmsley

Hunter Hearst Helmsley won the match, and eventually won the tournament, beating Mankind in the final.

Answer: Big T

His return to wrestling was short-lived due to his injuries and health problems. He soon left WCW, and doesn't wrestle anymore apart from brief appearances in Maximum Pro Wrestling.

10. Ahmed Johnson's finisher was known as the "Pearl River Plunge". What other name does the move go by?

Answer: Tiger Bomb

The "Pearl River Plunge" is better known as a Tiger Bomb. The "Double Underhook Facebuster" is Triple H's "Pedigree" move, and the "Burning Hammer" is a reverse "Death Valley Driver", used by Kenta Kobashi in Japan.
