On Foley is Pod, Mick Foley discussed how celebrities were refusing to sell for Chyna. He remembered that Ahmed Johnson had also denied selling for Chyna in the past. Johnson also refused to be put down by Kurrgan which finally led him to leave the company.
At first, a few members of the roster weren’t willing to let Chyna use her moves on them. During his brief tenure with the WWE, Ahmed Johnson was a prominent name and was on the roster. However, he rejected the notion of picking a fight with Chyna.
“No [on if he had an issue selling for a woman]. And I was the first one. And I don’t want to denigrate someone who is not on the crew who made a couple of bad decisions. He ultimately left because he wouldn’t put over Kurrgan; I’m talking about Ahmed Johnson. But Ahmed wasn’t going to sell for her.”
