    Butch Reed is my uncle. I wish I was old enough to see their matches when they were together. I’m a fan of Ron.

    Ron with the right singles push could have been huge in the WWF

    Doom was legit the only Tag team that could have beat the Road Warriors straight up! No interference or run ins

    Ron had the perfect physique for wrestling. Looked like a character straight out of a He-Man episode. One of my favourites.

    I wish Meng & Ron had had themselves a match. The manly meter would of been off the chart

    I remember hearing that snowstorm story on the WWE Network. It was Ron Simmons who got left behind in the blizzard. Teddy Long was driving and he made it 15 miles before he realized that Ron wasn't in the car.

    I heard the Steiners NEVER messed with Ron back in WCW.

    I never hated any of the “Damn!” Segments. They were all good. I like how they would pan to Ron Simmons after something ridiculous happened

    Back when the rock join the nation of domination, and he would always try to undercut Ron's leadership

    Kudos for the Doom shoutout! As a teenager, I recall thinking, during their all-too-brief partnership, “These are the only guys who should be able to legitimately stand toe-to-toe with the Road Warriors.”

    I’m not sure about now, but Ron Simmons was one of two football players (The other player was NFL HOF CB Deion Sanders) whose jerseys retired at Florida State.

    That Snow Storm story is one of my favorite wrestling stories. I think Ive heard all 3 tell it on video one way or another.

    Vince unfortunately didn't see the talent that Ron possessed which is why is why he remained a lifetime mid carder in WWF/WWE

    I knew when I saw Ron Simmons in FCW - he was gonna be a huge star... JR loved him.. the same way he loved Dr Death Steve Williams....Anytime JR called a Ron Simmons match, he was gonna be made to look great...
