"Booker T couldn't sweep the floor with me if I gave him a broom" – Ex-WWE star sends warning to NXT commentator

Booker T has been involved in a back-and-forth war of words with Ahmed Johnson over the last few months. In a new interview, Johnson issued another warning to the two-time WWE Hall of Famer.

The exchanges between the former wrestlers began when Booker labeled Johnson a "notorious lying, lowdown, piece of you know what." The Pearl River Powerhouse responded by threatening to disclose an alleged secret about Booker's past. He also challenged the NXT commentator to a fight.

Legendary wrestling manager Dutch Mantell recently said Booker would easily beat up Johnson. However, speaking on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, the former Intercontinental Champion disagreed:

"I don't know how he [Dutch Mantell] got involved in this, but Booker T sweep the floor with me? Please, Booker T couldn't sweep the floor with me if I gave him a broom," Johnson said. [10:18 – 10:26]

Johnson worked for WWE between 1995 and 1998. He is arguably best known for becoming the first African American Intercontinental Champion in the company's history.

The 60-year-old added that Booker, 58, would not be able to use his trademark dance move, the Spinaroonie, if they fought one-on-one:

"Now you're talking about in the streets, a street fight, I don't think there would be no Spinaroonies in a street fight," Johnson continued. "That's a totally different ball game, the streets from the ring, and his brother would tell him that I'm used to the streets. I'm used to getting down in the streets." [12:09 – 12:29]

Johnson teamed up with Booker's brother Stevie Ray in WCW in 2000. The former WWE star recently claimed that Booker advised his brother not to form the tag team.
