– During a Q&A session at the Music City Multi Con, WWE Hall of Famer Ron Simmons recalled the National of Domination stable in WWE and working with The Rock and the late Owen Hart. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Ron Simmons on why Owen Hart worked in the Nation of Domination: “Guess what? That’s what made it work even better because he seemingly looked like he wouldn’t be the guy that fit at all, which made it fit better! Because people weren’t looking at it,. You’re talking about somebody that always was there for you, would interject the joke, and keep the locker room full of laughter when you was feeling bad, he was a very intricate addition in the group that kept things going and kept it fresh.”

On The Rock’s role in the group and being open to learning things and coming up with ideas: “He was open to learning things and coming in and asking ideas of what he thought would work for him and hey, there was a way for him to come in and form his own identity -– which he did! So, it worked out perfectly for him in that regard and everyone else went on to do good.”
