Then: Veteran Ron Simmons, as Faarooq, had an easy night back in 2001. He worked just 58 seconds of match time in the Royal Rumble before being thrown out by The Hardy Boyz.

Now: Simmons has earned his corn by showing up sporadically to shout, "DAMN!" at anyone within earshot for years now. His latest WWE appearance came on the 20 July 2020 episode of Raw. There, he worked a backstage segment with MVP and Bobby Lashley.

Before that, Ron was last seen on the 22 July 2019 'Raw Reunion' show. He has a comfy gig as a WWE Hall Of Famer and ambassador.
