>>10256367As someone who's been watching wrestling for decades, Ahmed had a similar air of legitimacy as the Road Warriors. Since they looked the part and acting the part so naturally, they were instantly established as legit. Ragdolling their opponents with brute strength and reckless abandon is a big part of that. It's fitting that in 1997, Ahmed would team up with the Road Warriors briefly.
Anyway, guys like them are a testament to why we old timers keep saying that believability is so important.
