      This one actually hurts. I love watching clips of Billy Graham because he changed the business for the better. So many talent over the years owe their careers to him in some semblance, or another because he influenced their influencers to get into the business. Thank you for the memories, your contributions will never be forgotten. You are still our champion, and you are still the greatest. Rest In Peace Superstar, the show is ready for you now. Go and do what you do best on this grander stage. Until we meet again(tips hat, and slowly bows head)…

      RIP Mr. Coleman AKA Billy Graham. You don't see a lot of people of note that were born in AZ in the 40's… That stands out to me as I have family that have been in AZ since the 30's! "What you see is what you get, and what you don't is better yet!" That line is absolutely killer!!!

      I loved Billy. I really hope he's in the next WWE game now; he has long deserved the recognition.
      The oldest WWF champion still living at this point is Bob Backlund. I hope we appreciate him while we still have him.

      RIP to my original fav! Midnight Saturday night 1977, WWF! At 7, I would stay up hoping Superstar Billy Graham was on the card that night

      Watching his old clips, you can really see where the inspiration for so many superstars after him came from. He had the look, the attitude, the body, he was the first complete package.

      Rest in peace Superstar Billy g he was before my time but a great wrestler in his day. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family 🙏

      Superstar was amazing. Not just the physique. Not just the rap. He represented something utterly different. He was one of the true "New Bloods" that was to come into the business. Him. Jesse. Road Warriors. Rick Rude. Kurt Hennig. Those type heels that were absolutely OBLIVIOUS to the jeers, or if they heard it, IT FED THEM !! God bless you Superstar !! God keep your family, & THANK YOU for the memories !!!!!!

      So this has led me to wonder… do they routinely get soundbytes from people talking about a swath of other talent for moments like this, or were those comments from Rhodes and Mean Gene from prior interviews that he just happened to come during…

      Imagine there being a whole system in place where WWE calls you in and says “what are some notable memories/opinions you have about these 40-50 people… do they have Plug’n’Play video packages being built over time for all current talent just in case they get over big time and/or become mainstays?

      Like are there a couple soundbytes about LA Knight currently that they’ll add to over the next few years so that in the eventuality that he passes away, they can have audio from other wrestlers that might pass away before him? (Eventuality because everyone dies; I just hope he has a very long and happy/healthy life before he does. I’m glad that the “30-45 yr old wrestler dying suddenly” headline seems to be on a sharp decline compared to the past 10-20 years… it still happens but just not as often from what I’m seeing

      If so it’s slightly morbid, but it’s not a bad idea… not all of todays talent would be familiar with talent from the WWWF era, and there are only so many legends that lived through it left or that grew up watching it

      Solid tribute package though.

      Billy Graham was a trail blazer. We wouldnt have the likes of Hogan, Jesse The Body Ventura or Big Poppa Pump if it wasnt for him! He deserves to be on the Wrestling Mount Rushmore because he paved the way for so many gimmicks that took the world by storm.

      Rest in Peace Superstar. You were a model for so many Professional Wrestlers that came after you. I looked up to you in my teens and early adulthood. I had the opportunity to be with you a few times in Philadelphia and NYC. You were a nice man and nothing like the persona. Prayers for your loved ones 💔🙏

      Wo One Guyw, Im Still In Shock Over The Death Of Superstar Billy Graham, I Grew Up In The 1970s And Back The Pro Wrestling Was On All Day Long And Superstar Billy Graham Was The One Guy Who Would Be A Heel In One Promotion And A Baby Face In Another One! And He Was Always A Champion Where Ever He Wrestled And He Did What He Had To To Win Or Retain His Title!

    42. Leif Johnson on

      A little before my time but I got to watch his biography, hear from him stories on the road, the man was truly ahead of his time. I loved him. I prayed so hard he wouldn’t pass. My prayers go out to his wife and family today. Love you Superstar!
