Who should induct Ron Simmons into the WWE Hall of Fame?
 
Simple question with a difficult answer, considering all the possible choices.

1. Bobby Bowden: A father figure for him in FSU, a school where Simmons became a College Football legend.

2. Butch Reed: Former Tag Team Partner in WCW World Tag Team Champions Doom. Perhaps a dark horse, surprisingly enough.

3. Theodore Long: Former Manager of Doom. Was also present at the ceremony for Simmons celebration as the first Black World Heavyweight Champion. He's the person I'd go with.

4. Bill Watts: Promoter for WCW at the time who made that decision to put the belt on him. Another good choice.

5. Ahmed Johnson: A joke post, to be sure, as no one would understand him. His feud with Farooq put both men on the map.

6. John Layfield: His tag team partner in APA. He's the other person I would consider going with.

7. Other: Say who you would consider.

I doubt that Bobby Bowden would be available. If he is then I think he should be the one who does it. I'm voting for JBL cause he is a wrestling gawd and Ron was the best man at his wedding to the chick from Faux Noise.

This is a no-brainer

It's going to be JBL.

dronepool 02-23-2012 02:27 AM

Bradshaw.

Razzamajazz 02-23-2012 03:04 AM

i thnk jbl SHOULD, but teddy long probably will

St. Jimmy 02-23-2012 03:33 AM

JBL. Why is this even a poll? Really now.

On a related note, I'm slightly annoyed they're skipping over the Nation in the video packages. I loved Farooq during that time.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-23-2012 03:56 AM

Yeah that's lame.

RiX1024 02-23-2012 04:06 AM

Defo JBL, but it would be funny if they chose Ahmed Johnson.

#BROKEN Hasney 02-23-2012 04:16 AM

Back on topic, Michael Hayes.

Nicky Fives 02-23-2012 06:50 AM

Your kdding, right?

Corporate CockSnogger 02-23-2012 06:50 AM

I thought I read somewhere that JBL was already down as doing it? Might've just been somebodys speculative post though.

Dark-Slicer Diago 02-23-2012 08:58 AM

JBL no question.

Swiss Ultimate 02-23-2012 09:02 AM

Would rather see Bill Watts in the hopes of him saying some controversial.

Jordan 02-23-2012 09:07 AM

Jbl would be #1 pick but Watts would be cool too.

Rammsteinmad 02-23-2012 09:13 AM

JBL come on. Most of todays fans only know Ron Simmons as the guy who says 'damn'. Going as far back as his WCW days is stretching it.

Jordan 02-23-2012 09:35 AM

But Watts on WWE would be a step clOsee to a UWF/Mid South DVD

Seth82 02-23-2012 10:24 AM

I'll say either Teddy Long or Bill Watts

Watts has appeared on WWE programming so he'd probably be up for doing it

Iop 02-23-2012 10:31 AM

Bill Nye the science guy.

I doubt they care about what the fans "know". They are inducting a group that was last together in 1988 - and also a Mexican star they haven't ever seen.

I really appreciate the way the Hall of Fame events and videos kind of "educate" younger fans.

Xero 02-23-2012 11:01 AM

Yeah but JBL is a bigger draw than Ron Simmons, and this is a business in which they'll want to draw.

JBL is the only answer here.

DLVH84 02-23-2012 11:12 AM

Butch Reed or JBL.

XCaliber 02-23-2012 11:43 AM

JBL since he's the guy he spent most of his WWE carreer with obviously.

Dante69 02-23-2012 01:00 PM

Vader

That makes sense, as he was one Ron beat for the title.

Tanawesome 02-23-2012 05:53 PM

Gotta be JBL. Having Butch Reed induct him would be like Marty Jannetty inducting HBK instead of HHH.

Tom Guycott 02-23-2012 06:02 PM

Sunny. She was his manager in his WWE debut.

As a bonus, he comes out in the "African-American Gladiator" attire, takes off the headgear, looks at it, gives the obligatory "DAMN!", then takes his HoF ring and leaves.

Triple Naitch 02-23-2012 06:05 PM

JBL is a no brainer. He's still friendly with WWE, formed a memorable tag team with Simmons, and is his best friend. This is like if Triple H didn't induct HBK, to a lesser degree.

Lock Jaw 02-23-2012 06:07 PM

JBL. Who then hopefully gets to at least appear in some sort of segment at Wrestlemania since he will already be there.

Emperor Smeat 02-23-2012 06:07 PM

JBL. He was paired with Simmons for a lot longer than Reed and the majority of his tag team moments came with JBL. He is also the closest as a friend to Simmons than everyone else on the list.

Watts would be a lot more useful for a documentary dvd on Simmons if one was ever made and his reign was more symbolic than him being pushed as a long term top star in WCW. Same for Bowden being more useful in a documentary than presenting a speech inducting Simmons.

CSL 02-23-2012 06:13 PM

Tom Zenk, since they both once traveled in a car together from Atlanta to Savannah together.

FourFifty 02-23-2012 09:18 PM

JBL, with Vader in a close second, and any random black guy on the roster in third place.
