When will he have Nick Gerr on?
Mark Kerr looks real good , healthy , way to go Mark
Damn, the Rock's gotten so good at acting it's almost like Mark Kerr himself is talking to Joe
He's my third favorite Mark Kerr. The top 2 would be permanent and dry erase.
Looking at Mark Kerr and Mike Tyson makes you think it's crazy how the people who are quiet, soft-spoken , mild mannerisms can be animals. Reach the top , fall to the bottom , and finally get it all together again and how they talk so humble and are open about their trials and tribulations. Thank you Mark Glad you are still here with us today .
Thought it was Redban till I read the title.
Came back to this after the movie. Damn. That was a damn good movie
They call him Mark Kerr ’cause once he’s on you, there’s no erasing the damage
I met Mark Kerr in the 90s, he was so nice & funny. I use to work at a gym in Phoenix called "The Village" where Kerr, Mike Van Arsdale, & Coleman would workout. They loaded up the leg press with all the 45s that could fit. Then have us employees sit on top of the leg press as well. Animal strength
The Rock always plays The Rock. To see him play anyone else is refreshing.
