In the colorful world of professional wrestling, there have been larger-than-life characters who have left an indelible mark on the industry. One such legendary figure is none other than Superstar Billy Graham, a man with bulging biceps, flamboyant outfits, and a mustache that could make Tom Selleck jealous. Let’s take a humorous trip down memory lane to explore the historic and hilarious career of this wrestling superstar!

The Rockers. One of my favorite tag teams of the late 1980s, early 1990s. The Rockers were so exciting to watch, starting from their awesome music that they ran out to the ring with, followed by how they leaped over the top rope simultaneously, their long hair, the bright colored tights, the tassels around their arms, to their in-ring high flying, synchronized wrestling moves.

Let’s set the stage for this iconic heel interview that the enormous King Kong Bundy gave just weeks before Wrestlemania II. With Wrestlemania being such a huge success, it was almost time for Wrestlemania II. In the main event it was the unstoppable King Kong Bundy against the WWF Champion, Hulk Hogan. Continue reading
Yokozuna was a great wrestling attraction. He was an extremely large wrestler, but was able to move pretty well. Yokozuna joined the WWF in late 1992 and immediately received a big push to super stardom. Yokozuna was paired up with Mr Fuji and was known for his devastating finishing move – Banzai Drop – which he would normally give to his opponents multiple times. He was not a fan favorite, but at the same time he wasn’t booed like a bad guy; it was more like a silent fear. Continue reading
Demolition was probably my favorite tag team when I was a child. It began with their awesome looking black leather outfit with spikes all over it that even included a sinister looking mask. To top it all off, when they took their masks off, they had awesome looking face paint! Continue reading
This epic tag team rivalry took place off and on for over a year seeing The British Bulldogs have their only WWF Tag Team title reign stolen from them by a crooked referee! Although the Bulldogs would try multiple times, they were never able to regain their titles again. Continue reading
The 1994 Royal Rumble ranks very high on my list of rumble favorites. The finish of the main event as a 12 year old kid was epic. I remember going to school the next day and talking about it all day. Some friends were claiming Lex’s feet touched first, while others were petitioning that Bret’s feet touched first. As a Bret Hart fan, I was just happy that he was a co-winner especially considering that it looked like Bret wasn’t even going to be able to compete in the Royal Rumble match. Continue reading
Wrestlemania V was dubbed “The Mega Powers Explode”. The Mega Powers was comprised of the WWF’s two biggest superstars: Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage. Continue reading
Like many wrestling fans (even John Cena), when I was a child I dreamed about becoming a professional wrestler (not a sports entertainer). I still have my grade 6 yearbook where I was asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer was simple: a wrestler because they have big muscles! Continue reading
This is such a great follow up to my recent post about The Undertaker: Did He Ever Get Knocked Down. I had the pleasure to watch Bret Hart: The Dungeon Collection recently. One of the matches that stood out was his first match against The Undertaker from January of 1992. This match would have been closely after the 1992 Royal Rumble because Bret Hart was no longer the Intercontinental Champion. Continue reading
