Johnson gives his thoughts on becoming the first African American to win a singles title in WWE

That was a great achievement becoming the first African American Intercontinental Champion in history. That was a great honour but it was short lived and it quickly became disgraced, someone had scratched some racial words, Congratulation Ni**er, into my car and the treatment I got was pretty bad. I hadn’t experienced any racism in wrestling until I made it to the big leagues, the WWF.
