Flash Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 well he had been in wcw for some time and naming him as ron simmons wasnt that breaking kayfabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twelve_grand Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 He was the first black world champion and major star? Â And they needed to get over the NoD storyline where he refuted his slave name and became known as Farooq. Not exactly PC but there you have it.

Richie Freebird Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Coincidentally, I actually watched the full episode of RAW where this took place the other day. It was his first appearance when Lawler made this comment, my initial thought is that they hadn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted August 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 Yeah, what was the deal with that awful gear he had on as Farooq Asad? It was almost comical and you couldn't take Simmons seriously with it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 TBH it's quite surprising they were allowed to get away with it back then either it was the mid 90's not the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted August 21, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2011 To be fair, I was watching the booker t road to wrestlemania 19 the other day. That was 2003 and was pretty bad.

Barrington Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I remember LAwler cutting a wicked promo where he was actually serious. The Goldust one that was mentioned "And Goldust even you're own daddys ashamed of ya, said you were running around backstage with men you fag" (not exactly but close). I liked The NOD. There used to be about 15 of them didnt there? The Rocks rise came through them and then I remember his career being much like that of Mohammed Ali. He joined the Nation of Domination (Ali joined Nation of Islam) The Rock named himself the peoples champion which was funny as they hated him, Ali was the peoples campion. The Rock, even before he was the leader of The Nation was the most outspoken one and always looked like the leader anyway. Ali was a big spokes person for the nation of Islam and also looked as if he led them. I remember watching Summerslam 96 with Faarooqs mad roman get up. I can imagine with sunny as his manager he was Glad he ate her (you work that one out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
