Billy Graham’s WWE Stint
On April 30, 1977, Graham pulled off the almost impossible task of knocking Bruno Sammartino from his perch as WWE Champion, making that moment his greatest WWE accomplishment. Superstar maintained the crown for nearly a year, successfully defending sports entertainment’s top honor against legends like Dusty Rhodes, Gorilla Monsoon, and “High Chief” Peter Maivia before being aggressively deposed by Bob Backlund.
Graham left the ring in 1987 at 44 and went from being a wrestler to managing a team before becoming a color analyst.
In 2004, Triple H honored “superstar” Billy Graham by inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame. In the WWE documentary “20 Years Too Soon: The ‘Superstar’ Billy Graham Story,” which debuted two years later, Graham’s motivational tale and impact on the sports entertainment industry were highlighted.
