WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ron Simmons [1992]

Though it wasn’t the original plan, in 1992, Ron Simmons made professional wrestling history as he became the first ever black World Heavyweight Champion. Simmons defeated the mastodon, Big Van Vader, at a house show to become WCW’s 5th World Heavyweight Champion. Simmons would hold onto the gold through multiple title defenses for nearly 5 months before Big Van Vader would finally regain the gold. Still, a world title reign marked the history of Ron Simmons as being memorable, as he is currently a WWE Hall Of Fame inductee. Damn!

Now I dont know about you all behind the Matrix, but personally I’ve always been just an teensy bit curious about what Darth Vader tasted like. Or Super Mario. Or Marilyn Monroe. Or Mickey Mouse. Or Che Guevara. Turns out he tastes like mate and rum. I should have guessed! Well, Che may be rolling in his watery grave, but the rest of us proletariat can put his delicious visage in our moufs. 

And the best part? They’re legit, kids love ‘em! Mmmm that’s good Vader.
