2. Ron Simmons

Most Attitude Era fans would remember Ron Simmons as Farooq, one of half of the Acolytes Protection Agency, along with Bradshaw. Simmons made his debut as the cartoonish Farooq Assad, a gladiator, during the tail end of the New Generation Era.

After removing his last name, Farooq established the Nation of Domination, one of the most iconic stables during the early stages of the Attitude Era. He was joined by The Rock, D-Lo Brown, Mark Henry, and Savio Vega among others. He was the leader of the group and he would have been perfect as WWE Champion.

However, it was clear that The Rock was the star during his days with the Nation of Domination. He kicked Farooq out of the stable and became a megastar. Nevertheless, Simmons is a WWE Hall of Famer, a three-time Tag Team champion with Bradshaw, and the first ever black world champion in wrestling history.
