BC2 recently interviewed WWE Hall of Famer Ron
Simmons, who discussed his pro wrestling career, becoming a
Hall of Famer, and more. Below are some highlights and a video of the
segment:
Simmons on wrestling factions: “A faction’s success in
professional wrestling can be judged on how many stars off shoot it. Look who
was in that group. There was the Rock, and [current WWE wrester] Mark Henry
among others. I would call that pretty successful.”
Simmons on his Hall of Fame induction: “This business has
been so good to me and being inducted into the Hall of Fame ranks right at the
top. I’m so thankful to be considered among the all-time greats along with guys
like Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Bruno Samartino and Dusty Rhodes who I grew up
wanting to emulate. I’ve been so fortunate.”
Simmons on his world title win: “That feeling on that
night was so special and the way the fans celebrated with me is something that I
will always remember. Being able to share that historic moment with the fans
that supported me through everything meant more than you’ll ever know.”
