Ron Simmons winning the belt was an incredible moment. I remember watching this match with my uncle, and he was so happy when Ron pinned Vader! All of the Black people in the crowd were happy and crying, too!

I was there... shyt was live.

And nobody really expected it because A- Vader had just won the title 3 weeks earlier, B- Simmons hadn't really been getting pushed as a top contender around that time, C- it was on WCW Saturday Night and World title changes rarely ever happened on TV. So it was surprising, people cheered for like a good 5 minutes straight.
