  • Divenne un wrestler nel 1986 ed arrivò a lottare nella World Championship Wrestling con il suo vero nome ed in seguito nella World Wrestling Federation sia con il suo vero nome sia come Faarooq Asad, Faarooq o Farooq. Fu il primo lottatore afroamericano a conquistare il WCW World Heavyweight Championship diventando quindi il primo afroamericano ufficialmente riconosciuto come World Champion nel wrestling, poiché il regno di Bobo Brazil come NWA Champion del 1962 non fu mai riconosciuto. Nella WWE ha inoltre dato vita ad un tag team di successo chiamato Acolytes ed in seguito A.P.A. (Acolytes Protection Agency) assieme a Bradshaw. Simmons è attualmente impegnato in un percorso di riabilitazione dalla dipendenza da droghe e alcol; a spingerlo con forza a sottoporvisi è stata la WWE, preoccupata dalle condizioni di Simmons durante uno show. Ha quasi finito il suo periodo di disintossicazione. Il 13 gennaio 2009 è stato lincenziato dalla WWE in seguito all'ondata di licenziamenti da parte della federazione.
