WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts takes a massive shot at his former tag team partner
WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts recently gave his honest thoughts on his former tag team partner Ahmed Johnson and stated that he was difficult to work with.
In 1996, the two men joined forces with Yokozuna in a losing effort against Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, and Vader at WrestleMania 12.
Speaking on his Snake Pit podcast, the veteran talked about how Johnson failed to cooperate with him outside the ring.
"He was a pain in the a**. He didn't wanna learn nothing. I one time met with him and told him, 'I'll help you out, man. Meet you at the building at 5:30 in Indianapolis.' And he said, 'Yeah, I'll be there, man,' because Vince [McMahon] said, 'Take him in there and show him something.' So I got there at 5 o'clock and he no-showed me. Then when he did walk in, he caught some attitude with me, telling me he don't need no f***ing help." [0:10 – 0:42]
