Big Cat" Ernie Ladd 💛🙏🙏R.I.P. 🙏🙏🙏❤ I watched you growing up. You helped paved the road for many blacks in Football, and Pro-Wrestling. You were professional, and classy!!! One of the best heal wrestlers of his era. Loved his matches with Andre the Giant. You will be missed!❤
Before athletes and rappers, we had wrestlers to look up to in the 70s and 80s! It was amazing to see them perform both on tv and in person! I applaud professional wrestling for being the first to showcase Black Men in their genre!
@@JulianPerez-zv6os Ernie Ladd was so far ahead of his time. A great athlete and he had great charisma. He was also very smart and had a unique understanding of the business.
The old school putting over the new school. That's true wrestling. This is like Magnum's graduate school. Survive this, hang with the greats, and you might be somebody. Show us what you've got.
Ernie Ladd was one of my all time favorite performers. He knew how to entertain and he understood the business. His promos are legendary and he was great at making young faces look great in the ring. Out of all the wrestlers that have passed away, I miss Ernie Ladd the most.
If Ernie Ladd was alive today he could teach some NXT and WWE wrestlers how to cut promos i see where the Rock got his mic skills from Ernie Ladd was a great wrestler
Ernie Ladd is one of those guys who came too soon as his charisma and entertaining promos would have made him a superstar today. The fans would have turned him face.
You know the difference between pro wrestling and sports entertainment is that pro wrestling consist of professional wrestlers while sports entertainment consist of entertainers.
