Farooq was an amazing heel in the nation, and his rivalry with Ahmed Johnson was awesome too. Not sure I digged him becoming face after the Nation kicked him out, but I did like Farooq as a face in the APA.

I just wish I'd seen him in his prime.

Been released for Personal reasons could mean any number of things, IIRC though i'm pretty sure that Rons wife was ill and that was the reason he retired orginally. I'm willing to bet they are the personal reasons, he wants to spend more time with his ill wife and so he has sacrificed his job. I'm sure he's made decent money to set himself up for later in life so good luck to the guy

Doesn't that really make him the first black man to be a major World Champion?

Because you know that there is a HUGE cross over audience between WWE fans and stock traders

Well here's some more info, from Wrestlezone.com. Take it for what's worth I guess...

The reason Ron Simmons was released from WWE was actually because of a drug related issue that he refused to seek help for or even acknowledge. Some are even going as far as to say that may have been the reason for him standing up to The Big Show last week.

Simmons was also said to be very unpleasant when it came to last weekends WMXX PPV. He was ticked off that WWE would not get him a personal limo from the hotel to MSG the night of the show. He was asked to take the private bus rented by WWE for all of the superstars to ride on. Apparently that wasn't good enough for his standards though.

Faarooq was always the better half of the APA IMO. No disrespect to Bradshaw, but he really did smother Faarooq. I think the last time Faarooq used The Dominator was in like 2000. Maybe even as far as WrestleMania 2000? Four years later and the Clothesline from Hell did all the talking.

I wish Ron Simmons luck and hopes he can patch things up with WWE to return as a road agent or something. The guy as a commentator would be hilarious. Best of luck, Ron!

At a recent house show in Newcastle, England, Bradshaw turned heel against John Cena. A sign of what's to come, maybe?
