The Nigerian Nightmare admitted that WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and The Harlem Heat were some of his all-time favorite pro-wrestlers while he was growing up.
Usman also admitted that he would imitate the moves by these wrestlers with his brother in the living room. However, Usman respectfully noted that it is hard to be a pro-wrestler and confessed that he and his brother can never imitate what these wrestlers do these days.
Speaking on Club Shay Shay, Usman revealed, “Stone Cold Steve Austin, [The] Undertaker, Harlem Heat [team of Booker T and Stevie Ray]. These was the guys that I grew up watching and I loved. Growing up and seeing them I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s fun to watch.’ But we can’t do that,” said Usman.
The Texas Rattlesnake was arguably the most over WWE superstar in the late 90s. During this time, Austin had numerous memorable matches with the likes of The Undertaker, The Rock, Bret Hart, and many more.

However, Austin’s biggest rival at that time was none other than the chairman of WWE, Vince McMahon himself. This was the feud that helped win the infamous Monday Night War with WCW. Perhaps that was one of the greatest eras of the pro-wrestling industry.

The Texas Rattlesnake has headlined multiple WrestleManias with jaw-dropping performances. Interestingly, his last singles match of his career came at WrestleMania 19 against his arch-nemesis, The Rock.
