Accolades for an Acolyte

Besides being the former (I hate that adjective) WWE Champion, I am also a former three-time WWE Tag Team Champion along with Ron Simmons, a.k.a. Faarooq.

Ron Simmons was the first black heavyweight champion in WCW wrestling history and was just inducted into the Orange Bowl Hall of Honor for his college football record. Ron was actually in the Heisman voting as a nose tackle; Bobby Bowden said Ron was the greatest football player he ever coached at Florida State University.

Congratulations to my very best friend Ron Simmons -- you deserve the honor.

Remember: Being poor is bad, staying that way is stupid.
