Ron Simmons Retiring
 
From the front page.

– Former WCW World and WWF tag team champion Ron Simmons has announced that he will wrestle his last match on Saturday night for Historic Purks International Championship Wrestling. He will do a Q&A session after the show with the first 100 fans who want in, and he has promised that he will answer any and all questions. Ron is set to be inducted to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame on February 20.

I thought he was already done active-wise

The Gold Standard 02-06-2010 01:48 PM

I guess not

WWE HoF at some point?

Or not until JBL officially hangs it up so they go in together?

CSL 02-06-2010 03:00 PM

He'll probably go in down the line, not with JBL though.

screech 02-06-2010 03:02 PM

On the one hand, they were a great team and for that they should be recognized.

But, right after I posted, I thought that if JBL does get in it will be more focused on his singles success.

Yeah it is, but he gets it.

The Gold Standard 02-06-2010 03:24 PM

JBL can get in based on his singles career alone. I actually don't think he is in without his singles run.

True, but I don't know that Ron gets in without his tag run. Though I guess they could recognize it by having JBL induct him and talk about it.

Yeah, the Acolytes will be the main reason he gets in. It's not like he's the first black world heavyweight champion or anything like that... :roll:

VSG 02-06-2010 04:24 PM

Now that worth giving a damn! Thanks for the acolytes and the Nation of Domination too..

As terrible as that sounds, it is kinda true.

St. Jimmy 02-06-2010 07:26 PM

Ron Simmons is def going into the HoF. First African American world champion? WIN.

Xero 02-06-2010 07:34 PM

Other than he and Booker T, has there been any others?

(And no, Rock doesn't count.)

Haze 02-06-2010 07:35 PM

The news in this is not that he is retiring.

The news in this was the fact that he was still wrestling.

Loose Cannon 02-06-2010 07:36 PM

do you count the NWA/TNA Belt?

Xero 02-06-2010 07:37 PM

I was thinking WWE/WCW/WHC, but sure, why not.

Killings I know is there.

Loose Cannon 02-06-2010 07:43 PM

yea, that's pretty much it for major World titles.

I mean we can count WCCW maybe? Then you throw in Ernie Ladd and Ice Man Parsons. But they were part of NWA and they weren't really the NWA Champion

Ron retired, came out and wants to retire yet again?

Yeah, isn't that right Eddie Graham?

Let me ask someone else: Verne Gagne?

How about... Gordon Solie?

You're right. :roll:

Also, Kerry was the only Von Erich that was in the WWF. They inducted the whole family.

If it were up to me, he'd go in this year. I mean he's going into the Georgia Hall of Fame, he went into the College Football Hall of Fame last year...this would probably be the perfect year for him to go in, or if not maybe next year as WM 27 is scheduled for Atlanta.

To be honest I never really cared about Ron Simmons anyway, and didn't find the whole 'Damn!' thing funny.
