	Ernie Ladd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ladd spent the 1966 season playing for the Houston Oilers before moving, in 1967, to the Kansas City Chiefs.
		Ladd became one of wrestling's most hated heels during the 1970's, as well as one of the first Black wrestlers to portray a heel character.
		Ladd was managed by The Grand Wizard of Wrestling for much of the 1970's, and provided WWWF Champions Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales and Bob Backlund some of the toughest challenges of their respective title reigns.

	Professional Wrestling Online Museum - Ring Chronicle Hall of Fame Inductee - Ernie Ladd
		Ladd began his pro wrestling career in the early 1960's in a way that best utilized his fairly well-known name -- he wrestled during NFL football's off-season, playing pro football in the winter, and wrestling during the summer months.
		Ladd and The Baron formed a very tough team, and held the WWA World Tag title for 5 months before finally being dethroned by the super-team of Dick the Bruiser and Bruno Sammartino.
		Ladd was one of the biggest stars the NWA's Mid South territory had ever known, both as a heel, and even (occasionally) as a "good guy".
