Omar Atlas

 

Completely random story.... when Ahmed Johnson debueted, I spent weeks writing Omar Atlas as his name on my fantasy booking sheets, which I can only attribute to a regressed memory.

 

Dusty vs Buddy Rose - Put masks on them...could you tell them apart at this point!???!

Dusty vs Buddy Rose - Put masks on them...could you tell them apart at this point!???!

Probably not.

 

On a personal note, Bret vs. Austin at MSG has to be one of my all time favorite matches. Not as historically significant as their WrestleMania match but definately one hell of a fight.

[Guest Boo_Bradley]

Does anyone know if Ahmed's stories of being beaten by his father are true

 

One story:

 

(His sisters and brothers were starving, so 12 year old Ahmed took some hot dogs out of the freezer and cooked them up.... his dad came home and caught him making the meal, so he pinned Ahmed down and poured the boiling water on his chest)
