When O.G. Ron Simmons won the title for the first time

[TheAnointedOne]

that was a perfect bodyslam

Breh was so happy he ran down to the front row and damn near did a mid air split when the 1-2-3 happened

Feel like this this dude every time I see that win


It was an amazing moment, and nobody deserved to win the title more the Ron Simmons at the time.

Didn't get to see it live was only 6 years old but such a huge moment. Wrestling use to be so much better the rush every move now lol.

this was my very first memory of WCW as little breh. To think my first exposure was a historic black moment and then as i age, i didnt see another "real" black champion until 2019

technically those indy champions arent the World champion since their media doesnt stretch across the world like WWE.
