Harley & Simmons probably would have become drinking buddies had they worked & traveled together long enough.
They could have been wrestling's first incantation of the "APA."
And, yes, Jesse was a big dude - tall & muscular.
He claimed to still have 18” guns when campaigning for governor in ‘97.
Ron Simmons is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever, IMO.
I really believe most people forgot that he was a WCW world champion.
Additionally, he was the first black WCW h-w champ.
Then, Vince brought him in and gave him that stupid-ass “Farooq” gimmick.
WTF??
The Nation didn’t do much for him, either - although I did like his work with Layfield in the APA once they ditched the Apocalyptic/Satanic bullshit with Taker (who didn‘t even like it).
Ron was a hard worker and a good worker.
I simply can’t understand why he’s seemingly left out of the wrestling history books.
