He'd make a killing if he was in the WWE now.<br /><br />One of the very few good guys and he's really genuine. Even Deadspin had someone write in and say when he met Ladd on a plane, Ladd was gracious. I would've liked to have talked to him about his views, though. Not a disagreement, but a genuine, "boys knocking back brews" one.Basscasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-55088223098253889642015-02-05T12:27:33.701-07:002015-02-05T12:27:33.701-07:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmKNV4vpGrEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmKNV4vpGrERock Star Garyhttp://rockstargary.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-67384363300686154452015-02-05T12:27:05.617-07:002015-02-05T12:27:05.617-07:00I'm glad we didn't get the payoff because ...I'm glad we didn't get the payoff because Tom Green is the least funny, funny person EVER!
