He squashed a jobber. Thats all he did. WWF, japan. His ring worked sucked thats why he only worked short matches with jobbers.


Thanks for further proving my point.
WHATEVER HE WAS HE STILL GOT OVER.. VINCE WANTED TO PUSH HIM HARD LIKE HOGAN AND WARRIOR AHMED WAS VINCE'S PROJECT

He was another big dude that couldnt wrestle which is why he fit into WWE so well.


But seriously... why are you even debating this with me? Ahmed sucks, he has no in ring skill, he cant cut a promo, he blew up after 5 minutes in the ring and he cant wrestle.

THERES NO DEBATE.. HE WAS NEVER KNOWN FOR HIS WRESTLING SKILLS BUT HE WAS A POWERHOUSE AND EXTREMELY STIFF WITH IMPRESSIVE STRENGTH.. BUT ALL YOUR POINTS ARE VALID HE DID BLOW UP JUST LIKE ANY OTHER WRESTLER HIS SIZE..

Translation:

Hey, Rhino!
Are you happy to know that you will have a fight against myself Makabe?
I am not happy at all.
Because for me, you, a vulgar one in U.S., are out of my scope.

I will show you to all the American fools how weak you are.
Get ready, Rhino !

I hear that you call yourself Super Star.
But, no, no, the real Super Star is Makabe of New Japan.
Never think light of me.

Ill be front row for the Philly show :)


I was really expecting a bunch of thrown together tags and 6 man tag matches because of how many wrestlers were going to be there.

This show is just looking better and better with every update
