Tag Team is Doom, Ron Simmons (later Faarooq) is one of them. Butch Reed is the other. Their Manager was Nancy "The Woman" Sullivan, who would go on to marry Chris Benoit, and we all know how that ended.

I knew two of the three and I've never heard of this tag team. They were in WCW late 80s/early 90s. I think they got unmasked later on and like a lot of tag teams split up and warred with each other. Other tag teams around that time - Steiners, Skyscrapers, Road Warriors. Well this thread was a smashing success based on the activity and attention above - stay tuned for Day #2 coming later

If memory serves Simmons fued with Reed propelled him into the Main Event where he pinned Vader and became the first black World Champion. Watched some of those early 90s PPVs when I had the network.

Vader was a beast in WCW - held the strap multiple times. I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) he ever held it in WWF(E) I used to Youtube a lot of the old WCW/NWA - fun stuff to watch if you're a fan of the old product.

I recognized Ron Simmons aka Farooq. Didn’t know the other guy and didn’t recognize Woman. Had a huge crush on woman circa 1996-97.

Don't know if you ever saw this - this is supposedly Kerry Von Erich's last taped match before he committed suicide - sad - in a hotel in Philly - His manager? Woman.

He killed himself at his father’s place in Texas, not in Philly. At least that’s what Wikipedia says. |

He killed himself at his father’s place in Texas, not in Philly. At least that’s what Wikipedia says. The last taped match (youtube clip) is in Philly - poorly worded by me. Forget the name of the hotel. Sad in a sense he was a huge star in Texas (WCCW), held the NWA Strap, wrestled in WWF (where they underutilized him). Watching that clip reminds me of watching the movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke - he's older - his prime is gone - and he's just hanging on - instead of wrestling in front of thousands - he's wrestling in front of a small crowd at a hotel venue just looking for his next check. *** Edit - reading one of the comments in the comment section it states this was at the Philly Airport Raddison in January 1993.
