I loved the A.P.A. and was bit saddened when they broke up and turned Bradshaw heel--even if it was more or less the next obvious step in the character.
I also liked how Farooq would occassionally say "Damn!" every now and then--back then when the A.P.A. was still going strong it could be pretty funny.
Now, however it has gotten insanely repulsive and annoying. Instead of simply being a cuss-word that Farooq would use for a good reason--or usually good reason-- it has become nothing more than a pathetically retarded and incredibly lame "gimmick" for Farooq instead of what it seemed to be originally intended as.
It's no longer funny after the first 80 thousand times, and really when you stop and think about it ends up being rather a stupid gimmick---almost like Farooq's "Uncle Elmer" so to speak---it's clear the WWF doesn't really care about him.
Farooq's obviously too old and of no more use in the WWF's eyes and so they have given him a lame gimmick that they knew was stupid and unfunny when they gave it to him the first day. He is now nothing more than a lame joke.

Simmons enjoys the screentime he is getting, and enjoys being a "one-note-joke", so who are we to argue with his enjoyment?

Vince's largest mistkae with guys like Ron Simmons was he refused to acknowledge they got over somewhere else and made accomplishements there. Vince brings in the very first black World Champion and what's he do with that? Puts him in the NERF gear. When Simmons first came in, could've been so much more.

The guy wasn't signed as a wrestler either. He's a trainer backstage, and just shows up for 15 seconds to say Damn! and get a pop. If the fans don't pop, he'll just stay backstage and resume his normal activities.

I'm not annoyed with it by any means, but it stopped being funny the 3rd or 4th time he did it. If it didn't happen almost every week it would be a lot better.

I doubt he's getting paid extra for it...
The one thing i remember was seeing him in the Wrestlemania Bus the day before Wrestlemania at Staples Center in LA. I had read all over the net that he was fired, and then there he was, signing autographs next to Hillbilly Jim.
WHY MUST YOU LIE TO ME INTERNET?! WHY!
