Billy Graham was a man who deserved everybodies respect

Superstar Billy Braham is a stand up kind of guy. Very humble and a gentleman.

I used to love listening to Ventura and Monsoon commentating together - very funny.

The best thing about you as an interviewer Hannibal is that you never interrupt and rarely interject

Jesse Ventura has had a very interesting life. Navy Seal, Wrestling, movies and politics.

Ventura is one of my All Time favourites along with The Macho Man.

Dude was and still is a class act!

billy graham is one of the great ones!

What a proper good and genuine guy. Well impressed from the North West of England...

I feel bad that this guy doesn't get the respect he deserves for influencing Hulk and Jessie. I grew up a Huge Hulkamaniac and my Dad looks like Jessie and talks a little like him and is a heel so I liked him as a commentator as a kid even though he was a heel. I never knew how much Superstar influenced them until today almost 30 years later. Seems like one of the great men in wrestling too. Respect to you Superstar!

Jesse Ventura is a veteran who deserves respect.

Billy Graham was super gracious to young wrestlers. what a man.

Billy Graham and Jesse Ventura were both inspirations to me

I always loved both The Body and The Superstar ! Both are top Notch 👌

How great is it to have a hero who respects YOUR accomplishments?

what a class act Billy Graham is

billy was the man

Good guy, I'm not from his era but billy Graham seems like a humble person.

he definitely took on your look and personna Billy.

Love your interviews "Superstar". You have a great stile in telling your story.

- Jesse Ventura - Hulk Hogan - Scott Steiner

Wrestling owes alot to THE SUPERSTAR, THE ORIGINATOR

RIP to The Superstar Billy Graham.🙏

Superstar, very humble, great champion!

They look like they could be brothers.

Superstar Billy Graham is a completely class act!

Wrestling fans of any era should greatly respect Superstar bully graham. Without him we wouldn’t of had so many great stars.

A class act from start to finish!

That's the words of a true legend

His positive outlook & way of reacting to their homage, is awesome.

I love Jessie wrestling and when he spoke

Superstar made Heels popular! completely changed the game and look.

Great interview. I remember Billy very well. Thanks Billy

Such a sweet & humble man . . . A true legend

Wow, great praise from the Superstar!!! Nicely done, Mr Ventura!!! One of THE voices of my childhood etched forever in my brain and heart!!! 😎👏🔥❤️

Billy was a man of integrity

I love these old stories. My dad and I watched you in the 70's on the TV and I remember telling him." wow Dad, that superstar guy is big!'. Reminds me when I saw Ivan Putski and Ken Patera for the first time as well-lol ( I am rambling now..). Very cool stories- Thank you Sir.

The only one who really succeeded at copying Superstar Billy Graham was Scott Steiner.

True respect for the Man!

Basically Hulk Hogan stole his whole persona from Superstar Billy Graham.

I always liked Jesse as a heel Hogan type and his fueds with Ivan "Putooski". I met him at Golds gym back when he was trying to be a rock star.

Wow that old pic seeing Jesse with hair. You can see in the pic what a huge fan he was of the Superstar's, wearing the Superstar shirt, going for that same style of sideburns, and he developed some of the best mic skills in wrestling.

Awesome video. Thank you for posting.

I watched Jesse and many others try and do Super Star Billy Graham back in the day and nobody did it with more style and class and his own persona, than Jesse did. I love Jesse, he's real, humble and could still be macho in a cool way. I miss the arm wrestling contests on the tiny card tables, lmao. I think he even had a trophy for it once? To see two men combined up to 500 to 800 pounds arm wrestling in the early day on a flimsy card table was hilarious and most entertaining to say the least. Then it was gone! Hogan did a good job of it too, mixing his own style, as Hogan obviously looked up to Billy as well, but there was a riff for a short time when Billy was suffering health problems, but they worked it out, if I remember correctly? Hogan was pretty hurt by it, because he really liked Billy, enough to emulate some of Billy's style into his own. I think all is good now though? Billy is a tough act to follow. I mean he was pumping 600 pounds off his chest working out with Arnold S. In the early days. That's baddazzzz...

SBG a heel in the ring but a class act in real life. I sure do miss this man and wish i was able to see more of his wrestling matches in the past. He was one of my favorites when i was growing up in the60's and 70's. Way before Hogan came onto the scene. R.I.P.

You know these interviews are pretty cool,I really enjoy listening to these guys from back in the day. but have you noticed, it just seems to me that the heals just have it a little bit more together.. they seem to have a greater sense of appreciation for the business and that they have a greater sense of giving as far as the business is concerned and are very very less likely to criticize,even when criticism would be appropriate.

Totally agree with Billy. Good sport about it. They made a name for themselves as individuals, they just used Superstar's look and attitude as a starting point, and then branched off into their own. And when you get older, anyone who idolizes you is golden, when your younger you may see it as copycating and be narrow minded about it. But he takes it the correct way, as a huge complement.

Billy Graham was a pioneer in the wrestling entertainment industry. BTW, as we all know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Jesse The Body and Hulk Hogan were smart enough to emulate the best if they were going to do it at all.

Billy was the first and the best!

I couldn't help but notice that the wives of these guys look like they could be sisters.

Jesse always gives his respects to Superstar. Jesse's mic work was awesome. He use to say hello to Rock musicians once he shouted out Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh hahaha, dig Jesse man

humble as hell. most people would say something negative, but not Superstar

What a great dude, definitely expected him to rip Ventura

The one, the only...R.I.P.🙏

This guy was not ruthless enough like the other guys.giving them advice that would be his demise.guy is the one who started it all.legend of the highest rank.

Billy Gram was a good man and have much respect for him.

Jesse is a class act. He and Bret Hart are the two wrestlers I have all the time in the world for.

Much Respect ✊🏽

Superstar billy graham👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Ty...

When I was little I wanted to be just like Billy

Damn you know Billy's the shit if he is admired by Jessie.

a lot of wrestlers got their start in Portland. Portland wrestling was very popular from around 1985 till about 1993.

R.I.P Superstar #iconiclegendsofthewwe

1:26 sideburns for the win!!

Very true, Champ! I agree.

Imagine how much play this guy and Jesse Ventura get for looking like Billy Graham!

I saw Superstar wrestle in 1974 against Larry the Axe Henning. I was surprised at how much bigger Henning's frame was.

Superstar Billy Graham, should be known as the blue print for modern wrestling.

Are you telling me that Jesse The Body Ventura finessed his way into not only some pants but a marriage too?? If that isn’t the greatest fucking story… 🤣 👏

I always saw it as a compliment as well

Mr Ventura did Mr Graham proud.

I would go to this dude’s church any day!

Another one of the all time greats

Super Star BG was always Imitated and Never Duplicated.🤓

I thought so Jesse looked up to you and followed in your footsteps.

what a generous man. As a Teenager in the mid 90s i wondererd about Scott Steiners change to BPP especially his beard. Later i learned where it all came from. Also Hogan Ventura etc.

Them sideburns deserve respect!

Class Act Billy Graham

I watch the older footage of Superstar in MSG . Just shooting a ring side promo. He drove the crowd crazy. A mistake letting that man walk away from any company. It would been interesting to see him as face. The G.O.A.T

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

The Man SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine how bitter he could be if he wanted to but he is a class act..Hogan should be paying him

Class Act!

I was totally waiting on the Preacher Billy Graham to talk about Jesse lol

Imagine if they where in the right era... Jesse Ventura and Billy Graham as Tag Champions. 🤔

It's amazing just how many of these old wrestlers are still alive all the drugs and steroids

Jesse lived in Watkins park apartments on 82nd drive in clackamas when he wrestled here.

At 3:34 we see a picture that shows Jesse Venture is clearly several inches taller than Billy Graham. But, Bill Graham is billed at the height of 6' 5" tall, while Jesse Ventura is billed at the height of 6' 4" tall. I know Jesse is really 6' 4" tall, because he is 2" taller than the 6' 2" Arnold Schwarzennegger. So what is up with Billy Graham and his height?

New drinking game. Everytime Mr. Graham says uh take a shot.

The paw???? The foot????? Yeah the hoof, the paw? The 8 track!

jessy is the fukn man!!!!!...😂😂😂😂😂😀

Funny how much height Billy Graham lost. He used to be a solid 6'4" (he had at least 2 inches on Arnold Schwarzenegger in their pictures together) and in the more recent pictures, he looked a lot shorter than 6'4" Ventura.

I was doing tricep extensions in the gulf of Tonkin

This guy seems super nice!

Him and Roddy made me laught all thel time as anouncer

Billy Gram gets it

My favorite wrestler was Haystacks Calhoun

From Superstar to Jesse to Hogan to Scott Steiner

Top man

I really can't believe Superstar is still alive after all the steroids and the injuries and everything else. He and Ric Flair must have the best longevity in the sport compared to all those who died in their 40s and younger.
