As a kid I didn't know Superstar Billy Graham was a heel. He was really popular and loved. Rarely on but made such an impact even.

When Billy Graham lost to Backlund he used to come on TV interviews crying "I want my belt back", that was great.

I remember Superstar in the Awa daddy! He was great

Kevin Sullivan is a genius of the wrestling business. I love listening to him talk about the business. What a mind

Superstar Billy Graham had it in his soul to create promos.

Never liked kevin growing up but these interviews give me a new found respect for him and his impact on wrestling. Underrated.

Started watching wwwf around 1972-73
Kevin sullivan was a guy who got beat up every time
He disapeared and showed up in florida years later , i recognised him in magazines pro wrestling illistrated, the wrestler,  inside wrestling etc
Years later he popped up in nwa/world championship wrestling
Hes a all time great , been around
Hes got a mind for wrestling
Great guy

I can see why Billy lost himself and became very depressed. He worked hard for so many years and created a character so colorfull and entertaining. The crowds were getting hotter and hotter and the crowd was turning toward him. Then right when he was about to reach another level they made him drop the belt to howdy doodie a guy as entertaining as watching paint dry. Then so many wrestlers that took from Billy became a success, Vince starts calling all his wrestlers superstars, and Billy just didn't get the credit he deserved. Hell if that happened to me i would have gone postal.

Superstar Billy Graham had, arguably, the Best Build in Wrestling History.

Tha Supa Star! Billy Graham

Sullivan is absolutely right about Billy being a face...BG would have drawn more fans to the Garden than Bruno did!

Great interview and I could not agree more about Super⭐️Star

Another awesome video Hannibal. You’re the king of these in 2019!
I’m a HUGE Billy Graham fan, thanks for putting out so much cool content on him.

I think the World of Bob Backlaund's Wrestling ability. However, by late 1980 or 1981 The Good Guy next door persona Backlaund  that Vince Sr had Backlaund marketed was wearing thin.

Sullivan was right.
Superstar should have been the new Bruno. Superstar as the lead good guy in the wwwf.
Superstar against Koloa would have been huge money.

Testify Sully.....TESTIFY MY BROTHA

I think part of the reason Graham drew so well is because the buzz was that Bruno would get the belt back in those rematches.  Then the buzz was the Dusty was going to win.  Fans want to see a title change and knew one was coming at MSG but we were wrong about who would get the title.

Another interesting thing to me is that they never had Graham vs. Pedro Morales which would have drawn huge, but been a security nightmare and huge risk for Graham.

In New York around 1984 I use to watch Kevin Sullivan and The Purple Haze on the Spanish Station I believe it was 41 and I loved it!

As we look back we always figure that we should have done things differently.....but ones ego gets in the way and it taints the greater good
