Aug. 2, 1992 Ron Simmons Becomes First African American World Champ In Pro Wrestling

[Hoss]

It was a huge deal and the finish blew the roof off the place. He got a decent push but it didn't last long enough.

I never would have predicted at the time that Ron Simmons would be just as famous later in his career for showing up randomly and saying "Damn!"

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Black excellence.

Peep the black dude in the light blue shirt that runs down when Simmons hits the powerslam

Hit a mid air split and everything

He goes into the wrestling fan hall of fame

Put his bust right next to Vladimir and the dude the outsiders stomped out at bash at the beach 96
