Matt Hardy praises Ron Simmons.
Ron Simmons is one of the most respected veterans in wrestling, transitioning from football to become WCW World Heavyweight Champion and having a successful tag team run with Bradshaw (JBL) in WWE.
Matt Hardy worked with Simmons throughout the Attitude Era, and he was asked about Simmons being under-appreciated for his wrestling mind on the latest episode of The Xtreme Life of Matt Hardy.
"I think so. He’s a very, very basic wrestling mind, but he is under-appreciated. Once again, he’s one of those super athletes, you talk about Rock and his football career, you can’t talk about Ron and not mention his football career too. Ron has a very solid wrestling mind, especially for that era, I would say like late 80’s, early 90’s. I mean if you had Ron put together something in 2023, I don’t know if it would work the same, but during that time, he had a great, solid mind for psychology," said Hardy.
Simmons retired from his full-time run in 2007 and hasn't wrestled since 2012, but still makes various appearances on television.
Elsewhere during the podcast, Hardy commented on Adam Cole's injury. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
