I wonder if anyone watching back then would have thought Austin would be the big star and Ahmed would be a huge bust just a few months later. I know I was wrong in thinking one was a WCW reject and the other was a main eventer.

I have a home video that shows matches from WWE in Kuwait in 1996. I dubbed it to DVD but I can’t remember the tapes name. I can safely say that two of the matches posted on YouTube did not make the home video release.
One match that is on the home video release is a tag team match between Yokozuna/Ahmed Johnson vs the New Rockers. Take one guess which team won. Here’s a hint. It’s a team where one member looked like King Sized Homer Simpson and the other one spoke of eating a reef because he forgot to take his medication Morty and he was in a REAL BAD MOON.

Yellow case with Ahmed and HHH on the cover. |

I remember that video with the yellow case. Suncoast video was pretty awesome as a kid since we could get tapes for a lot less than Coliseum Video mail ins. They may only be one hour but a lot was packed in that hour.

That was the first Coliseum Video I got as a kid...
It gave me such an incredibly warped perception of the WWF at the time. I thought Ahmed Johnson was, like, THE guy (he's in that tag match, and then also wins the whole thing against Triple H at the end if I remember correctly). It was so surprising to me going back and watching Wrestling Bios' Reliving the War series and seeing just how much of a flash in the pan Ahmed truly was.
