First African-American World Heavyweight Champion, multiple-time Tag Team Champion in both WWE and WCW...and on top of all the wrestling accomplishments he earned, a retired jersey at Florida State University. Welcome to the WWE Hall of Fame, Ron.

DAMN! (Just had to).


Posted By: Nick M. (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 08:33 PM

 
 
Would have thought Simmons would have been inducted at the WCW themed HoF last year. Oh wait that was just a bullshit rumour this site took as fact.

Posted By: Guest#0482 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 08:34 PM

 
 
why is Simmons mentioned twice? WOW you guys have gotten bad at reviewing your articles before putting them up!

Posted By: Jay (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 08:36 PM

 
 
Simmons will join Simmons in the Hall Of Fame? There are TWO Ron Simmons?

DAMN!

*Waits for the INCREDIBLY intelligent and witty trolls to say "Damn!" in 17 different variations*

Good choice. Always liked his work. I'm still waiting for my favorite brawler to go in though. Bruiser Brody should be inducted. It's time.

DAMN!

Congrats to big Ron. Of course, we will have to mention somewhere in the announcement that he's black..oh wait, sorry, "African American", because we in the black community just want EQUALITY, right? So excuse the fact that we keep reminding everyone of our color. And asking for preferential treatment and special programs just for us and...anyway...

Posted By: Ron Simmons (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 08:45 PM

 
 
yes. Worst HOF ever. The BEST stable of all time. The most popular Mexican wrestler of all time. The first african American world champion. The BIGGEST celebrity draw the WWE has ever had. Oh and Edge & Yoko-fucking-zuna. Yes. Clearly a horrible lineup. Idiot.

Posted By: JP (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 08:49 PM

 
 
Well deserved in my opinion.

I hope no one's stupid and uneducated enough to say he doesn't belong..

GOSH DARN IT!

Edge? Ron Simmons? Mil Mascaras? Mike Tyson?????????? But NOT The "Macho Man" Randy Savage?!? The WWE and it's Hall of Fame is a JOKE.

Simmons becoming world champ was a big deal BECAUSE of his skin. If you knew you history you'd know what difficulties black wrestlers had in the old days, and Simmons was given a chance like no one before him.


Posted By: Guest#4552 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 08:58 PM

 
 
Tyson is the only draw for this class. Flair already got in so the Horsemen one isn't going to sell many tickets.

Posted By: Guest#8602 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 09:04 PM

 
 
:o DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

I thought for sure it would be Ken Patera I do not understand.

Why didn't they think Yoko deserved to be introducted on TV?

Posted By: Guest#2771 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 09:50 PM

 
 
If he comes out and just says DAMN I'll be so happy

Posted By: Bill (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 09:52 PM

 
 
Will WWE acknowledge Mil Mascaras this week since HE WAS the first announced late last year!

Posted By: Leon (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 09:58 PM

 
 
Maybe the other one is "Richard" Simmons?!?

He would get in for oggling wrestlers for so many, many years.


Posted By: Guest#7906 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 10:01 PM

 
 
DAMN

Posted By: Guest#8789 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 10:10 PM

 
 
I'm still a huge Doom mark. Simmons and Reed ruled but Teddy Long managing them was the best.
"We gonna beat The Steiners, we gonna win the tag team titles and we're gonna free James Brown!" EPIC AND CLASSIC!!!

Quit trying be "cool" and "different" douchebag. This is one of the best lineups they've had.

One name does not belong in that group- Mil Mascaras. He is probably the second biggest Mexican wrestler of all-time, behind El Santo. He has sold more tickets than everybody else in this HoF class combined. Only names such as Hogan, Tsuruta, Baba, Flair and a few others could reasonably go ahead of Mascaras in the all-time rankings. Sure, Macho Man should be in but as has been pointed out, this is Vince's HoF. I'd take it with a grain of salt-those of us who watched Macho Man know how great he was, and that's all that REALLY matters.

Gosh Darn It...quote of the night.

isnt ron simmons the first ever black WCW champion?

Posted By: Guest#1149 (Guest)  on February 06, 2012 at 11:06 PM

 
 
I wish the WWE would also say who's inducting who. That's as intriguing for me as the inductee. Will it be Teddy Long inducting Simmons? They have history. I assume Christian will induct Edge ... not sure who will induct Yokozuna. They may go with a family tie on that one I guess. Anyway if any of you doubt Ron Simmons belongs in the HOF you need to study up. He's a legend.

and yet no macho man randy savage

Posted By: Guest#3178 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 01:00 AM

 
 
Ron was the very first African-American world champion in wrestling history. Not sure how many of you "fans" actually know that, so I thought I would use my vast knowledge as a REAL fan to let you all know.
Congrats to him, and Yokozuna also, who is too a historical figure as the first heel WWE Champion to hold the Championship as long as he did.


Posted By: Guest#1316 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 01:19 AM

 
 
this is good and a couple of years ago ron simmons did get into a legimate hof and that would be the college football hof for what he did as a college player

Posted By: coby (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 01:33 AM

 
 
What is the African-American World Championship? I guess it is for the continent of Africa and North or South America, but then they both are on Earth so shouldn't it just be the World Championship?

Posted By: Guest#3886 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 01:34 AM

 
 
This is definitely one of the better hall of fame classes the WWE has had in years, anyone who doesnt think so clearly doesnt know jack. I will never forget Ron Simmons becoming the first black world heavyweight champion and how truly special a moment it was in the history of this great business.

Posted By: ripstamps (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 02:06 AM

 
 
They have one international, one legendary non-company affiliated, one recent departure, and 2 long time former wwe employees who retired in the E. That sounds like their usual line up. How long until El Santo, Giant BaBa, or Johnny Saint get inducted?

Posted By: Guest#8695 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 02:08 AM

 
 
DAMN!

Posted By: Guest#5970 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 04:06 AM

 
 
FUCK!

Posted By: Jim (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 05:07 AM

 
 
So Edge is headlining the Hall of Fame? LOL. I would rather see Yokozuna as the main-inductee than Edge.

Posted By: Guest#0173 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 05:49 AM

 
 
Good for Ron. I grew up watching him in the 80's and remember what a damned good performer he was. Still remember how hot Woman was managing he and Butch Reed as Doom.

Are you legally retarded or did you think you were making a joke? Either way, what a very sad life you must have.


Posted By: Guest#8621 (Guest)  on February 07, 2012 at 10:37 AM

 
 
I wonder if he'll come on stage, just say DAMN and walk off.
