Ron Simmons Reflects On Transforming From The Acolytes To The APA

WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons recently appeared at the Music City Multi Con, where he talked about a number of topics including his tag team with fellow WWE Hall of Famer JBL and how they went from the Acolytes to the APA.

Simmons said, โ€œWe just morphed into ourselves is what really happened! He and I got a similar background: heโ€™s a football player and me coming from the same thing. Our personalities were similar outside of the ring and so when they said โ€˜Hey, well, what about if we just put these guys together?โ€™ And I donโ€™t think anybody, to be honest with you, were thinking that the success we had was going to come about. Because, if youโ€™ve been in a tag before, you can feel it. You can feel if itโ€™s going to work. And in that short period of time, we were together, we knew that we were on to something there and that it was clicking with the people.โ€
