Meet Ron Simmons trivia contest: Question 5 winner
Who was originally scheduled to challenge Vader for the WCW world title on the night that Ron Simmons ended up getting the shot and winning the championship in 1992?
Answer: Sting
Winner: Jim Hayes was the first to e-mail me the correct answer. He did so on Wednesday at 7:18 a.m. He wins a general admission ticket to the Maryland Championship Wrestling show on Friday at the New Green Room in Dundalk, a pre-show meeting and photo opportunity with Simmons and an 8 x 10 photo of him.
Questions 6-10 will be asked between now and Thursday.
Comments
I had followed wrestling since coming back from Panama in 1980 and watching wrestling on the Superstation. When Ron Simmons won in 1992, it was one of the proudest moments I ever had in watching wrestling. The class, the dignity, and the pride Ron Simmons brought to the WCW Title made me proud to be a wrestling fan. Even if I don't get to meet him, he'll always be one of my heroes of wrestling.

Kev, why didn't Sting that night? Just curious.
RESPONSE FROM KE: He was "injured" by Jake Roberts and couldn't compete.

I can’t believe I won! This is awesome. MCW is always fun to go to and I’ve never met Ron Simmons before, so this will be a good time. Thanks Mr. Eck!
