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. Last edited by The Gold Standard; 02-06-2010 at 01:48 PM. |

WWE HoF at some point?
Or not until JBL officially hangs it up so they go in together? |

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.

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

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. |

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

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

The news in this is not that he is retiring.
The news in this was the fact that he was still wrestling. |

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 |
