Burt Simmons, also known as "Convertible Burt," faced a pivotal choice between a promising wrestling career and a lucrative life in drug dealing during the early 80s. He claimed to have made $100,000 in a single day but acknowledged the dangerous path he chose. Reflecting on his choices, Simmons noted that many, including himself, are products of their environment. This sentiment is echoed in the docuseries "Miami Kingpins," which chronicles the stories of Simmons and other antiheroes influenced by Miami's drug culture and its impact on hip-hop and local society.
Burt Simmons stated, 'I turned down the wrong road,' acknowledging his life choices as a reflection of his environment and highlighting the trend of drug money shaping Miami's culture.
Ted Lucas emphasized, 'This is not just an urban story,' indicating that 'Miami Kingpins' offers a broader perspective on the reality experienced by Miami residents during the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
