Also didn’t Superstar Billy Graham claimed he was dying a short while ago? A miraculous recovery! He's died more times than Marty Jannetty has been fired!

Even if Vince is the complete sociopath that some people think he is (I think Vince is complicated, to put it mildly, but not absolute Cobra Commander style evil), he's not stupid enough to piss off someone who has the clout that Dwayne Johnson does. The Rock is now at least a B-list celebrity, if not a full on A-Lister. He could rain PR hellfire on the WWE with one tweet. Simply put, either this is full on BS, or it's being taken out of context in a major way. I always post the Foley quote: "He's a cross between satan and one hell of a guy". I think it's the most accurate way of trying to make heads or tails out of Vince McMahon the person.

Do you have a history of taking off your shirt No, but I do gotta see the show, ‘cause then I’ll know the vertigo is gonna grow ‘cause it's so dangerous I’ll have to sign a waiver I just realized, a better answer woulda been “No, but like Sting I’m tantric”

We've become so accustomed to somebody we don't really like always being thought of as 100% the most evil person ever these days that...

He’s the biggest box drawing star in the planet, he’s A list as it gets. He's no Stan Lee >_> He's never won a Super Bowl, which is the pinnacle achievement in society.

Hey, he was on the 1991 Miami Hurricanes. They won the national title. But yeah I mean The Rock has probably been the biggest box office draw of the past decade, so I fail to see how he's a B lister. I'd say someone like Gerard Butler is sort of B list at this point. As in a known name but not really someone who headlines A pictures anymore.

Did someone call Dwayne Johnson a B list celebrity? That is delusional.

So what will Vince say at Billy Graham's funeral? I wouldn't be surprised that (if invited)Vince would say he was a complicated man whose impact on the business is immeasurable. Or something similar

So what will Vince say at Billy Graham's funeral? So that’s what happens to a liver after eight years of steroid abuse.

So what will Vince say at Billy Graham's funeral? Superstar would actually pass away and when it turns out that Vince paid for the funeral the casket would swing open and a suddenly alive Billy would put him over huge

I love all the hate Billy Graham gets. He lied about children being sexually abused. f***ing worthless scumbag.

besides the article in a magazine or news paper where gorilla monsoon hinted that SBG had died in the late 1970s/ early 80s was there any other sources for where that rumour started ? I've seen the matches he had when he returned to WWE and looked like a completely different person and looked ill but then by the late 1980s he's doing shit commentary with gorilla is where his phrase of choice was brother he's back to an older version of his 1970s.
As I said great promo and look but good god was he a poor wrestler. Today' he makes billy jack Haynes look normal.

When Billy showed up looking different, some people gave him the "Ultimate Warrior" treatment since they'd heard the rumor and thought this was a different guy. Back in the early 2000s, Billy (who was still on the outs with WWE) revealed he was dying and in need of a liver transplant. Vince stepped in and helped him get the operation, and after he recovered, WWE released his biography. There was no "rumor" on this part. He was on his way out until Vince helped. Around 2010, the new liver started giving out, and he made statements that he had a year to live. His doctor admitted he had 2-3 years if he kept on a medication program. Vince stepped in again (they'd had another falling out between the bio and this).

Vince may have been ticked that they didn’t use his company’s Undertaker.
