I feel like I’ve read multiple times over the years he’s been on death’s doorstep. I like to imagine that .gif how he keeps the grim reaper away. What makes that gif even funnier is Barbarian (?) walking in the background.

He had choice words for Kofi in 2019 during his title run: To be fair he's right....Wrestlemania in 2020 did have a much lower attendance.

Billy is a crazy bitter old man because it's literally the only thing he has left that's his. Jim Cornette should start taking notes.

Let's face it: 99% sure he didn't like Kofi as champ because of his skin tone.

Let's face it: 99% sure he didn't like Kofi as champ because of his skin tone. I really don't think so. He may have been thinking the same thing about any other light weight champion but wound up saying about Kofi. I'm all for calling out a racist but think it comes down to Billy's bitterness on the whole. Billy destroyed his body and probably soul doing steroids to bulk up to be the type of athlete that 1970s and 80s wrestling called for. I think it also lead to him not being able to have children which probably hurt his wife. The guy is obviously bitter that he put his life on the line bulking up as a wrestler and though times do change the last 10-20 years wrestlers could be champion without having that bulked up look that destroyed his life and left him near death with liver disease and that probably eats away at him. He probably hates Bob Backlund just the same as he does Kofi. Bob came in as the All American looking like a kid fresh out of college and took Billy's belt and that too destroyed Billy. Bob was a pure wrestler, he didn't need steroids but in the grand scheme of things as far as main eventers go I think Billy's is the bigger main eventer than Bob or Kofi and probably would be more revered if he kept his thoughts to himself but money wise Billy never made what either guy did especially Kofi because the money is better now and Billy probably hates that. He probably hates Miz too and any other guy he thinks looks scrawny.

His brain is probably fried so he probably doesn't have rhyme or reason to when he posts or what he posts. Even if he were still being employed by WWE and brought to the training center I can see him causing controversy telling the new kids they have to bulk up to look like the stars of the past, which obviously implies steroids.

What I really want to know is: how the hell did Superstar Billy Graham, a dominant former WWWF world champion, find himself in Paul Jones’ Army?

Old man just wants to be relevant. If the company uses him, he loves everybody. If he's an afterthought of the past, he'll badmouth everybody and make controversial statements just so people bring him up his name.

If he's an afterthought of the past, he'll badmouth everybody and make controversial statements just so people bring him up his name. I feel as if he just accepted his two releases and not bathmouthed WWF or Vince personally twice that he would surely be brought back health permitting. Nostalgia has been at an all time high the last few years and I'm sure WWE would love to keep their first entertainment type champion on people's mind. One time speaking out against WWF could be forgiven but twice, especially as he got more vile in his older age is something that will probably not allow him to be brought back. I wonder if he does sadly pass if he will get a video piece or if WWE would rather just shut the door on him. And if they do a piece it would be a lot of sugar coating if they don't to mention the issues between he and the company.

I'm always torn on Superstar Billy Graham. I thought he was so cool when he was brought back to the WWF as a face in the 80s. I thought he looked really cool and I remember reading about him in the Apter magazines. I don't know how many times I've read that he's dying only for him to be fine. I'm not wishing any ill will on the guy but you can only hear that so many times before you stop caring.
I don't see anything wrong with him having an opinion, but seriously he says some things that are way out there like all the garbage about Kofi. Which is crazy since in his book, he talks about doing steroids ruined his health.

Superstar Billy Graham: the wrestler was an amazing trailblazer. SBG: the retired wrestler doesn’t deserve the time of day.
