Biography (from WWF.com) -----------------------------------------------------------------------Faarooq Height: 6' 2" Weight: 270 pounds From: Morner-Robbins, Texas Finishing move: Dominator Career Highlights: Tag Team Champion (2) Faarooq makes it clear that he loves to brawl with anyone. The only things he loves more than brawling ard drinking beer and smoking cigars. He, along with Bradshaw, started the Acolyte Protection Agency with those pastimes in mind. The agency provides protection to any Federation Superstar, as long as they have cash, and as long as they don't take any "suggestions" to the APA. Of course, they don't keep the money, they just buy more beer! The scouting report on the Acolytes is simple: Don't make them mad. Faarooq and Bradshaw are two of the toughest S.O.B.s on the planet, and they love to kick a$$ just for fun! And don't ever interrupt the Acolytes when they're playing cards ... it may be a painful experience! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.
