Ron is the definition of a tough sob, straight shooter, mans man. love this guy, I still remember as a kid watching him beat Vader for the heavyweight belt. That was a time when Vader was super over. Made me cry too as a kid when Vader smashed my hero Beach Sting with a nasty power bomb. I was totally shocked when Simmons defeated Vader.
I love Ron Simmons I met him here in my new home town city of Atlanta at his house and he is the reason why I chased my dream of becoming a actor and leaving the Water Dept of Kansas City Mo 😊❤🎉
Buries Watts, the man who made the decision to put Ron at the top -- which he speaks so glowingly about -- just like he did with other black wrestlers as well as give more black wrestlers an opportunity than any other territory owner and then he goes on to praise Michael Hayes as a "great man". Amazing.
Watts was always trying to recreate what Jyd accomplished in his territory but he couldn't... so maybe watts didn't understand why he was really over. I think he just did it hoping it would hit again because he was out of good ideas honestly
Rob missed a whole world of movies, he should’ve been a megastar, his personality and voice..: he would’ve been great alongside. Arnie with a stoggi in his mouth…. Awesome!
He has a wicked dry sense of humour, it’s hard to tell when he’s joking or serious, every great has that believability and credibility…. Awesome guy who should’ve went into movies..
@pooddescrewch8718 You're definitely not too bright judging by that remedial comeback. You'd understand that there's nothing to defend if you had any sense. Instead of posting 'How', you should've just said you disagree and moved on. But of course, you're not smart enough to do that so here you are.
I respect the fuck out of this man Ron Simmons. For one he’s one of the most realist. Baddest motherfuckers. To ever grace a Professional Wrestling ring. Two I respect his struggles as a Black man. In a tough cut throat. Business that hasn’t been to friendly. To our brothers of color. Three you can just tell Ron is a man’s man. He’s trying his hardest to not play a victim of racism. You can tell he would rather remember the good memories. In a good ole boys club like NWA/WCW. It’s almost as if he hates to even bring light to it. I respect that so much. Ron should have most definitely been a WWE Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion at some point. It has been said Ron didn’t even really lift weights. He could walk into any gym. Any setting where they have possession of a bench barbell and weights. Walk in cold off the street. And throw up like 600lbs. That is such insane raw powerful strength.
Finally found a Ron Simmons shoot interview, honestly I’ve looked over the years and only found clips. The guy is a class act and 100% a man’s man. Can’t understand the race issue in any shape or form especially when it comes to a man like Ron. This guy had his number retired in football where he played for fooks sake a your gonna just see the colour of his skin..Bullshit Mr Han Man that ain’t right and I’d fight anyone who sees it differently
Great interview. But if Ron would have gone to vince in 89 he wouldn't have done anything but be another stereotype in the circus. No world championship, maybe a tag team championship but not the impact he had in Crockett and WCW. It was no paradise in vinceland either, Bad News Allan was there in 89 and spoke about racism there. Stories of racism were there when Ron was there. It's OK to tell the truth Ron, you're still a legend.
Ron Simmons doesn’t really have that storied a career . He was consistently good enough to be booked but thats all . He never ascended as a babyface despite being pushed to a WCW championship and as a heel he got derailed by The Rock ( which was a disappointment to me because I wanted to see how he would develop as a top heel . The WWF didn’t see him in that light apparently ) . Great athlete , adequate wrestler . No disrespect , I just do not see him as a great .

Big fan of Ron, seems like a class act never heard anything bad about him. Loved him in WCW.
Ron Simmons is JUST a great person, period. World could use more people like Mr. Simmons
✊🏾👊🏾💯

@@ApothecaryGrant he's honest, down to earth and principled. That's why.

That’s awesome. Hope you’re successful
Thank you I appreciate it
I remember watching Ron way back in the late 80's training at the legendary Florida Championship Wrestling with Hiro Matsuda.
Loved the APA. Effing hilarious bits and pure power in the ring.

Seems like ex football players. Turned into really good wrestlers. Stone cold, the rock, goldberg, Brock Lesnar,
@@chrisortiz8072 funny because Mid South had their best years without JYD....
What a career Ron had. From Doom, his run as WCW Champion, his feud with Ahmed, leading the Nation, and finally his run in APA. Definitely a legend
Damn!!
Oh that never gets old
@@ApothecaryGrant. You REALLY hate Ron Simmons, huh?
@@pandavelli8176 No but I think you are a person with little to offer
@@ApothecaryGrant Touche
Just a great guy and total STUD athlete
Thank you for this. What a great insight into a great man.
Probaly the best athlete ever to step in the squared circle, and a great guy. My hats off to him.
Ron simmons is a legend .
One of the greatest
Legend
How ?

Ron seems like a great man and great role model.
Top G status for sure.
And I wouldn't ever want to piss him off lol
Ron is like that grandfather that you better be extra careful what you ask him! 😂
Yep just like this guy asking him about Politics in WCW

Jewish interviewer.
Im so glad to.hear this I.grew up watching simmons on television when he wrestled & with Bradshaw.
I watched an interview and the interviewer tried to get him to throw Bradshaw under the bus but he wouldn't do it and talked up for him
I so wanna meet Ron Simmons. He seems like a cool guy. I wanna see him drunk. I bet he'd be hilarious.
The G.O.A.T! 🏆🤼😂😂😂😂😂😂
