Funny, but true!!! My three year old daughter LOVES this video. She will ask to see “the blue boy” every time I’m on the computer. Of course her favorite part is the “Yik Yik Yik Yak Yak Yak” part. Last Sunday my wife and mother in law was having an extremely long conversation on the phone and out of the blue my daughter went “A YIK YIK YIK UH YAK YAK YAK” complete with Ernie’s facial expressions. I spit my Tea out across the table. Needless to say Wifey was not pleased.
She'll be the lawyer in da family. Ernie Ladd shoulda did the "yik yak yik" at least once when he commentated at WM 1986: "all them talkers like Andre da Clown," or whichever site of Wrestlemania he was at (3 that one year).RIP Big Cat!
One of the greatest promo artists of my youth besides dusty,piper and flair.me and my grandpa got kicks out of listening to him shuck n' jive one minute and be dead serious the next.there were few like him then and none like him now.so sad.
RIP the Big Cat Ernie Ladd you a great Wrestler and a hell of an Athlete. He had some great years in the American football league From the Chargers 1961-1965 Houston Oilers 1966-1967 Kansas City Chiefs 1967 to 1968 He won an AFL Championship with the Chargers in 63 and was a three time AFL All-star.
ERNIE LADD ON NAMES FOR WRESTLERS HE CALLED DUSTY RHOADES= DIRTY RHOADES. RAY CANDY= UNCLE TOM CANDYMAN STEVEN LITTLE BEAR=STEVEN YELLOW BEAR THUNDER BOLT PATTERSON=THUNDER MOUTH PATTERSON WHAOO MCDANIELS =DRUNKEN INDIAN. WHAT A FUNNY MAN R.I.P BIG CAT
Uncle Victor and one of my favorite's..''hold that microphone steady mr. TV announcer''..loved big cat, he was talented and so unique..never considered him a heel..love that avatar picture..VICTOR VON DOOM :)
Mr Ladd used to say" I want to tell all you people out in TV land,get on the phone and call somebody. Somebody's going to get hurt. Hurt somebody,hurt somebody".
Dusty Rhodes= Dirty Rhodes Dick the Bruiser= Dick The Loser Chief Jay Strongbow= The Drunken Indian Mr Wrestling II= Masked Varmint Rocky Johnson=Uncle Tom Johnson Wahoo McDaniel= Cigar Store Indian Andre the Giant= Andre the Dummy Junkyard Dog= Greasy Black Dog.
The Big Rat, Loudmouth Ernie Ladd. 'Course, ain't no ones never did nothin' about him, couldn't expect Dirty Rhodes or Andre da Dummy..SHUDDUP OUT DERE!..to intimidate a athelete like the Big Cat! RIP Ernie.
i'm disappointed in myself for not appreciating how beautifully and wonderfully ugly and awesome things were back then. gas was 19 cents. cars would smell so much like gas they could gag a maggot. the popular in-color was shit colored brown, green, and yellow. lamp shades covered in purple velvet . . . i grew up in the 70s and LOVE it!
Part of the Legend and Lore deservingly surrounding this man (and that is mystifyingly unmentioned) is that Ernie Ladd defeated a Professional Eater in a 1962 Eating Contest not long after he was recruited to The AFL from Grambling! The food that these two formidable chowhounds devoured has to be read to be believed.😂😉🎤🐅🏈🍔🍗🍗🍕🌭🍟🥗🍤🥧🥛B.W.
TheTexasViper You mean Denzel cuts an Ernie laugh! The Big Cat was an original. Imitated, but never duplicated...AND you can always count on Ernie to mutilate the English language!
@OLDSKOOLCHAOS But he feuded with Dusty Rhodes in GA and called him "Dirty Rhodes". There was one interview that had me cracking up. EL said that Dirty Rhodes was not a real Texan cause he never rode an animal in his life. He got on one in front of the Safeway store the the thing threw him off.
Did the Big Cat Just say they're going to have a necktie party, it just occurred to me that everybody in this clip is dead, rest in peace fellows, job well done
Oh my gosh I think he did say that! He also made some other outrageous remarks like he’d send Tony Atlas back to Africa, telling us he’d beat all the black off of greazy Bubba Douglas and saying Rufus R. Jones had to sell hubcaps in the ghetto! 🤣
It was Koloff. Ladd brought him in when he was feuding with Ole Anderson. Ole and Lars Anderson ended up winning the feud several months later. He was known as Uncle Ivan at that time. Always claimed to be from Russia but was actually Canadian.
@blackdiesel- Dirty Rhodes- real name Roger Smith- also wrestled as 1/2 of the masked assassins in memphis, also as 1/2 of fire and flame, 1/2 of the Ateam- all with the same partner.
@@RADIO1990 The same reason why Dirty...er I mean Dusty Rhodes and the Junkyard Dog sometimes wore one. There are times when one in the game has to go undercover to seek revenge and justice against their adversaries.
LOL I remember how masterful he was behind the microphone phone. There was a wrestler in Atlanta named Rm Candy Ernie called him and Thunderbolt Patterson an Uncle Tom talkin out the side of their mouth Yik Yak Yak Yak Yak . LOL he was just so hilarious . I'm going to pull that sock off Mr. Wrestling 2's head
YIK YIK YIK AND YONK YONK YONK THIS WRASSLER AIN'T GONNA DO THIS TO ME AND THIS WRASSLER AIN'T GONNA DO THAT TO ME ! AND YIK YIK YIK AND YONK YONK YONK !
And EVERYONE was an "egg-suckin' dog"!!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN' TO DO!!! Ladd's interviews were great promos...they don't make them like The Big Cat anymore..."ah yick yick yick...ah yuck yuck yuck yuck!"
Ernie : What Are You Trying to Do? A Dummy : Trying to Figure Out Who the Masked Guy Is An Intelligent Individual : Whatever You Say or Want Us to Do, Mr. Ladd
looks like he's been in a hatchet fight & everybody had a hatchet but him!!!
Pure gold line
I didn't catch that! Lmao

That story is FUNNY I would have paid money to see that
God bless that little girl!!!😂😂😂
💀....
O my God, the visual! Well, at least your daughter didn’t call anyone “Thundermouth” or an “egg sucking dog”! She’d STILL be on detention! 🤣🤣🤣
Ernie Ladd, one of the best trash talkers in wrestling! My great-grandmother HATED him!
The MVP has to be Gordon Solie. To stand there and not crack a smile during Ernie's promo takes a lot of practice.
How Gordon Solie managed to not laugh hysterically like I'm doing right now is indeed Hall of Fame talent...
his replacement, mean jean often would laugh or snicker during an interview which would invalidate the faux seriousness of the situation
God bless these legends.. This is when wrestling was fun to watch....
2 minutes of Ernie Ladd is better than all of Wrestlemania these days. God speed, Big Cat. Villains like you made pro wrestling. #promisespromises
I want a ten hour compilation of Ernie Ladd promos under my Christmas tree this year lol
so true
EFFING hilarious!!! Ernie Ladd was THE O.G.!! How Gordon Solie got through that shoot with a straight face is amazing! :)
Big Cat = Always pure gold, plain and simple
Turned on the CC to understand what Ernie Ladd said and the damn robot didn't know either lol.
I LOSE IT EVERY TIME WHEN HE SAYS "WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN TO DO, WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN TO DO"
"Look like he was in a hatchet fight and everybody had a hatchet, but him!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ernie was so good on the mike! Go Big Cat!!
He's a fine gentlemen that gets the job done,Wow!Sophisticated thuggery!Ernie Ladd none better ever!

The masked man was none other than "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff The chain gives it away.
Wait a minute!Wait a minute!!!!
If you look around the mouth area, the masked man appears clean-shaven…not sure it’s Ivan Koloff, but would love to know who it was…

Look at Solie though, lookin all cool! LOL
I can listen to Ernie Ladd talk trash all day!!!
GCW had a lot of great promo men in their territory. When Ernie Ladd or Ole Anderson speak you listen.
ernie ladd ,goat, true legend

Ladd a great interview.
I love that laugh at the beginning!
" A yick, yick, yick, yuck, yuck, yuck"... 😂 😂 😂 😂 🤣🤣.

GONNA TAKE CARE OF SOME PLENTY PLENTY BUSINESS!
Ernie Big Cat Ladd is my all time favorite wrestler. He was fearlessness personified. I often quote his best line.
"YIK YIK YIK. YUK YUK YUK!!!
RIP Uncle Ivan
Funny thing is Ernie Ladd was #77 at his greatest with the Chargers. He was #99 with the Oilers and Chiefs.
You couldn't miss him,he was huge!
Thundermouth is of course Thunderbolt Patterson.
How did wrestling go from such great promos and awesome ring work to the crap of today? Shame on you Vince McMahon !
T Wright Writers...
Exactly. I hope that the RAW 25th anniversary show was the death knoll. That was the worst show associated with wrestling I've ever seen.
I won't get them three hours back, whos the guy in the mask
@@franksullivan7110 Ivan Koloff
@@MrHmg55 realy no shit. Cool.
I know it's probably a sin to want to go back in time,but to have a week in 1978!What would I do?I so miss.
Best trash talker ever.
Ernies the best he's a fine gentleman
Completely awesome
Ernie Ladd was way ahead of his time!!!
Nobody could talk shit like Ernie Ladd
When I wrestled in junior high, I asked my coach if I could walk out on to the mat with a chain over my shoulders. He made me run laps around the gym.
Yik Yik yik yokk yokk yokk!!
The GOAT
It was Koloff. Ladd brought him in when he was feuding with Ole Anderson. Ole and Lars Anderson ended up winning the feud several months later. He was known as Uncle Ivan at that time. Always claimed to be from Russia but was actually Canadian.
1:03 That is without a doubt Ivan Koloff!
Did he say, "You die-rect all your information to me"? LOL
got to see Ernie wrestle in 83 he was a legend in nwa
Last main event I ever saw live: New years night, either '80, '81, Ernie Ladd vs Paul Orndorff in the Superdome - cage match. So long ago.😮
One of the best !esp on the mic great football player also
i thought my weed was laced...i seriously thought i was trippin balls when lad started talking
"A yip yip yip,a yap yap yap you egg suckn dog" Big Ernie was the funniest human being along w/Bobby.
@blackdiesel- Dirty Rhodes- real name Roger Smith- also wrestled as 1/2 of the masked assassins in memphis, also as 1/2 of fire and flame, 1/2 of the Ateam- all with the same partner.
"Bruno Sanmartina."
Big Cat .....Legend ...
I remember in late 1979 a masked wrestler with a chain attacked Ole Anderson and Ole swore that it was Ivan Koloff.
ONE OF THE BEST!
"You know what they say about your kind and my kind...."
6 foot 9, 320 pounds, and he covers the ground he walks on. ❤️👍
Hey at least big cat didn't bash whiskey drinkers :)!
"everybody had a hatchet but him!' LMAO....Ernie could really do the interviews
YIK YIK YIK ! YONK YONK YONK !
This is quality!
how the heck can ANYBODY hate OLD SCHOOL WRESTLING???
All this time and I never even knew Wolverine was a wrestler back in the day!
what the hell is ernie ladd babbling about? i love it!
Apparently he had issues with Thunderbolt Patterson.
looks like he went to a hachett fight and everyone had a hachett but him
Earnie Ladd was the best!! Is that Ivan Koloff under a mask ???
Brother P Hill, you can tell it's Koloff because of the chain and some of his beard is peeking out from under his mask.
Why is Koloff wearing the mask?
