Very few athletes reach the pinnacle of one sport, let alone two, but Louisiana's own Ernie Ladd is one of those special few to master multiple arenas. A dominating football player before transitioning into sports-entertainment, Ladd used his size, strength and natural talent to become a force both on the gridiron and in the squared circle.
A star defensive lineman for Louisiana's Grambling State University in the late 1950s, the 6-foot-9, 300-plus pound Ladd was selected by the San Diego Chargers in the 1961 AFL Draft. Over seven AFL seasons with the Chargers, Houston Oilers and Kansas City Chiefs, Ladd became a four-time AFL All-Star and appeared in three AFL Championship Games, winning titles in 1963 (Chargers) and 1967 (Chiefs). Although he was one of the largest players of his era, Ladd had amazing quickness for a man his size, earning the nickname "Big Cat" as a result.
As dominant as he was on the gridiron, Ladd found his second calling while still playing for the Chargers. As a publicity stunt, some San Diego-area wrestlers challenged the Big Cat to a private workout session in the ring, and that's where he found his second passion.
