During an interview on the Iron-On Wrestling Podcast with Gregory Iron, Ahmed revealed if he deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. Check out the highlights below (per Wrestling Inc.):
On a spot in the WWE HOF: “Yes, I think being the first African American Intercontinental Champion, I think I deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame”
On his biggest regret: “I wish I could’ve left in a different way. The only thing I say when I regret it … I didn’t tell Vince the real story because growing up like I grew up, as you did, we don’t tell people our problems. Most of our problems, we suck them up and deal with them in a little ball inside of us and let it just fester in there. I wish I would’ve told Vince the real deal about why I was leaving.”
