That really was a great moment when it happened. I remember feeling a little pride at the time.

But that man hit his peak when he became Faarooq. That was a boss.

this was a huge standout moment in history of wcw....if you were to tell me most memorable moments from wcw, this would be number 2 behind hoegans heel turn, for me...i was such a big vader fan too.....but simmons was that dude(the vignettes of him at Fl STate running the steps in the stadium, his jersey retired were great.)
