Old School WCW/WWF Legend Faarooq aka Ron Simmons celebrates his birthday today. DAMN!

WCW Executive Vice President Bill Watts made him the first ever black World Heavyweight Champion in 1992, before Simmons joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1996 as Faarooq Asaad.

Faarooq eventually became the leader of the controversial faction Nation of Domination and later formed a Tag Team with Bradshaw (now known as JBL), called The Acolytes aka The A.P.A.!

In 2012 Simmons was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his former Tag Team partner.
