Former pro wrestling champion “for hire” coming to Red Deer
WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons is joining Canadian Wrestling’s Elite on its next Canadian tour across five provinces, including a visit to the Springrook Multiplex this Monday.
Simmons, a former world champion, U.S. champion and tag team champion, recently caught up with Nigel Maxwell with our affiliate paNOW.
Nigel Maxwell: One of the factions many people will know you for is the Nation of Domination during the WWE’s Attitude Era. Was there ever any concern by you how you might be received by the crowd?
Ron Simmons: When you are doing things of that magnitude you have to be a little careful and not step on too many peoples’ toes. I don’t know if that would actually work in today’s society where people have their emotions on their sleeves. People had an open mind back then about what we were doing, what the business was about, and they came to enjoy themselves.
