He quit pro football to pursue professional wrestling gold, and he was one of the most outstanding wrestlers in American history and one of the greatest African American athletes of all time. A graduate of Grambling, he was tremendously outspoken before his death. I remember seeing him on TV for a Grambling game and talking with the TV announcers and his son had the same coach at Grambling as he did. Unfortunately, his son didn't enter the WWE but Mr. Ladd's manager, the Grand Wizard had already pre-deceased him.
