Ernie Ladd
Real name: Ernest Ladd
Hometown: New Orleans, LA
Membership: Partners with Leroy Brown
A.K.A.: The King
Finisher: Big Boot
Background: The 1970s were wild, man.
Ernie Ladd, formerly big man of the gridiron, fell into fighting at first as a means of making some pocket money during the off season. Sidelined by an injury, Ladd saw this as a means of making more money. Soon he was taking on Bruno Sammartino himself, tangling with most of the Superstars at one point or another.
Then the 80's happened. Now aged, Ladd tried to make it a go with the new McMahon but he was quickly regulated to being a color commentator for Titan News before being phased out for Bobby Heenan. He quietly retired in 1988.
