SIMMONS HAS WON THE WORLD TITLE!'''''" - Ross calling Simmons' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB8DYpLAIfs historic WCW World Heavyweight Championship win]] on August 2nd, 1992.
2** More awesome than just the upset victory is that Simmons became the first black wrestler '''''ever''''' to win the WCW/NWA world title.[[labelnote:*]]Technically, he's the third to win a recognized world title, as Bobo Brazil won the NWA World Title in the 60's, but his reign wasn't recognized and was stricken from the record. Furthermore, Bearcat Wright was the first Black World champion, having won the WWA world heavyweight championship from Freddie Blassie in 1963[[/labelnote]]
