I. Introduction
This FAQ is here to give you a detailed move list of the wrestler
Faarooq
=======================================================================
II. Albert
Real Name: Ron Simmons
Wrestled in: NWA, WWF
Finisher: Dominator
Career Highlights: NWA Tag Team Champion, WCW World Champion, WCW US Tag
Team Champion, 3 Time WWF Tag Team Champion,
I'm not sure about Ron Simmons' career in WCW, but he did defeat Vader
for the World Title in 1992, and was in a tag team early in his career
with The Natural Butch Reed, to create the Tag team Doom.
When he arrived in the WWF, he changed his wrestling name to Faarooq,
and was managed by Sunny. 3 months later, Faarooq was managed by
Clarence Mason, and led the Nation of Domination. The group lasted 1
year and 5 months with Faarooq's leadership, until stolen by The Rock.
After losing to the Rock at Over the Edge 98, Faarooq wasn't much of a
factor in the WWF. In beginning of 99, Faarooq joined Undertaker's
Ministry of Darkness, and created a team with Bradshaw. After the
Ministry disbanded, they already had 2 Tag reigns. They quickly gained
popularity with the A.P.A, until this year when they disbanded after the
roster split. Faarooq now wrestles on Smackdown! and teams with Mark
Henry occasionally.
