Dr Jerry Graham returned to the WWF around 1984 or 1985 to manage a stable of wrestlers. He was Vince's favorite wrestler while growing up and I guess he wanted him to be part of his WWF expansion. Graham had an interview on Tuesday Night Titans and appeared at ringside a handful of times before being let go. The guy was massively overweight, an alcoholic, and probably not what McMahon remembered from twenty years prior.
Whatever happened during that run was enough for Vince not to put Graham into his Hall of Fame while he was alive and active in the 1990s.

After hearing people like Kurt Brown tell stories about Dr Jerry Graham I would have loved to seen the good Dr with a live mic at a WWF Hall of Fame show. |

Billy Gunn returning to Mr. Ass in 2003 felt like a step back back after Billy/Chuck were so over. He went from being on the Today Show to feeding with Jamie Noble.

The feud that ended with them all having sex. Whatever happened during that run was enough for Vince not to put Graham into his Hall of Fame while he was alive and active in the 1990s. I've wondered myself since he arguably should already be in there since he is the patriarchal leader of a bunch of legends to come. |

Heroes of Wrestling in a nutshell I'd call that more trying to capitalize on how stupidly popular wrestling was at the time then an honest attempt to relaunch anyone's career |

Macho Man roided up with Team Madness was a pathetic mid age crisis. Bingo....this was ridiculously bad and sad on so many levels. |

Macho Man roided up with Team Madness was a pathetic mid age crisis. Bingo....this was ridiculously bad and sad on so many levels. The receding hairline, the lack of mobility, the women. It were distractions to hide that he was getting old. Macho should've retired after his feud with DDP to be honest. Steve Corino in roh was sad. I still think he was kept around as a favor for Kevin Steen. It's not a good idea doing those type of matches when you're overweight and in your mid 40s. Unfortunately he got seriously injured. Ric Flair in tna, the whole run specially after fourtune. |

Both of T & A "The Punisher" Andrew Martin Huh, Tensai and Andrew, they swapped gimmick initials. With Test, when he showed up in WWECW as Roidy McGoo. Dude looked like an overly stuffed sausage and, although it's harsh to say, he would have died of a heart attack within a couple of years if he hadn't overdosed on painkillers. |

He was the first and only person, to my knowledge, that was let go of tna because he was to roided up. Ricky as Richard Morton looked depressing: Terry as Terrence Taylor sucked also. Whatever the f*** Jeff Jarrett did in Mexico when the whole Karen fiasco happened. Billy Graham returning to tye dyes in the late 80s was sad. |

He was fine until the knee injury, up until he started bracing it up, he still showed he could go. I think the cage spot at Havoc 97 caught up to him spring of 98. |
