IN THIS EPISODE

The trio covers Ron Simmons

Ron Simmons is a legend in the professional wrestling business. While he may not have gotten to the point where he was in Hollywood Blockbusters or rappers were writing songs about him, his place in wrestling history cannot be denied.

Simmons transitioned from football to wrestling in 1986, but it wasn’t until 1989 where Simmons would team with Butch Reed to create the tag team Doom, where the two competed in the NWA and WCW, winning the WCW World Tag Team Championship one time.

Simmons would be a prominent figure in WCW. After a brief stint in ECW, he went to WWF. Simmons would also go on to lead the Nation of Domination in the early days of the WWF Attitude Era, a group of black wrestlers loosely based on the Nation of Islam, street gangs, and the Black Panther Party.

After the Fall of the Nation in 1998, Simmons would form the Acolytes Protection Agency with tag team partner, Bradshaw. Some may know Bradshaw as JBL. The two were bodyguards-for-hire, and were paid mostly in beer. The two would go on to win several tag team championships together before splitting in the early 2000s.

After retiring, Simmons was known for his catchphrase, “DAMN” which got over with the fans, so much they made T-shirts of it.

But to rewind the clock back a bit, Simmons would go on to face Vader for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Here, Simmons would change history.
