Damn I always thought it was Ron Simmons but, I did not know it was his partner Butch Reed that had the NWA title first.

This angle resulted in Butch Reed winning the title, but not being recognized for whatever reason the NWA Championship Committee came up with. It was a swerve on the fans, so Reed's win will never be in the record books, not even as a footnote.

Ron Simmons is the first recognized WCW Champion of African American descent, not NWA. By the time Ron won the title, WCW had already broken away from the NWA.

Ron "The Truth" Killings (aka WWE R-Truth) is the first recognized NWA World Champion of African American descent. He beat Ken Shamrock for the title on August 7, 2002


Truth went on to win the title again from AJ Styles in 2004 in a 4-Way that included Raven and Chris Harris (AMW)

i think the WWE signed him to a developmental deal based on his looks and found out he couldn't wrestle their style and released him from the dev. deal.

Butch Reed and Bad News Brown deserve to have World Titles in NWA and WWF....Butch Reed was a great heel, hardworker and great power wrestling
