It was before Hogan, before Ventura, and before charisma counted as much, perhaps more so, as mat skills. It was 1977 in New York and Bruno's run would soon come to an end.
Enter The Superstar...
Superstar Billy Graham burst onto the scene in the WWWF, unseated Bruno Sammartino, and rewrote the rulebook for pro wrestling heels. And now he wants you to join him on a journey to that pivotal year, where he'll tell you everything that was happening within the walls of the largest wrestling federation in the world!
We pick up the action in April of 1977, just before Graham gets the strap, and we follow the action into 1978, when Backlund takes it.
The Sammartino title change
the McMahons
the "Wiz"
Japan
Backlund
the backroom dealings
missed opportunities
Albano's antics
working the blade
the TV Tapings
...all that and EVERYTHING that was happening in 1977/78 in WWE!!!

​@@orangepeel1366the promoters treated those guys like that because they could. Most of those guys were married and had kids. They didn't want to be traveling in another territory and be away from their families or moving their kids from school to school every year or two. So the promoters took full advantage of it and paid them shit. Another one was to get another promotion to bring someone in and give them a push and tell them they were going to work on top. So they would sell their house bring their families from another state. Rt after that they would quit booking them. So they had to go home with their tail tucked between their legs the more they just came from making a fraction of the money they were. Don Owen and Bob geigel did it to piper. Jim Crockett and giegel did it to Rufus R Jones.

It would have been so easy for him to be bitter about his short title run, missing out being on top in the huge 80s era, etc, but he stays positive. Underappreciated, never duplicated, Billy is an all time great. RIP

You still hear the hurt in his voice that he didn't keep the title longer than he did. I told my coworker that. Titles sometimes ruin guys mentally. Graham, Bret, Harley, and they should evaluate these guys & make sure the fame isn't going to their heads and if we agree on giving you the title you have to understand that the end date is the end date.
@donjohnson1498
@donjohnson1498 Жыл бұрын
I would agree that seeing yourself as a champion is a tad silly, considering you were assigned that “title”, and that you could not even be considered for that position if not for the countless men you worked with. I think the situations for the men you mentioned are different. Graham was completely over, and he had a reason to question the “length”of his run. McMahon was just stuck on Backlund, but it is not as if he could not have given Graham a longer tenure. I think Hart put his blood and sweat into it, from childhood, and he saw it as a business to be taken seriously. He may have reasoned, and I agree, that he could have been a long running champ, who could take on heels and faces, so there was no reason to do a switch, simply based on heel to face. I think he was more like Flair in the early 80’s anyway, a tweener. He also hated Michaels, and that was a blind spot. Race is in a category all his own. No one traveled more than Harley did as champion. No one else, until Flair, wanted to, or could do it. Harley may have felt that he was the NWA champion until he said otherwise, and he did have well earned stroke with the promoters in the territories( Graham, Boesch, Watts, Geigel, Crockett). It is one of many questions that makes the “history” of wrestling so fascinating.

Bob Backlund was a fine champion. I saw him wrestle Ray "The Crippler" Stevens in a Texas Death Match at Boston Garden in 1982. Wrestling as an entertainment form for adults and kids alike was coming to an end. Once Hulkamania took over I was out and didn't come back until ECW. Even when ECW took off, th3 WWF still had a roster full of cartoon characters.

Sean really delivered on this one . Without question one of the best sports interview's. In 1977 - The Superstar was the man in pro sports and Vince Senior did not see it. I still cant believe . 46 years later this is a solid topic. If he keeps Billy Graham as World's Champion it changes everything for the NWA. The possibilities could have been endless. What happens to Ric Flair ? Is Dusty staying for good with the WWWF. We could go on for an entire evening of discussions .To me this is one of the greatest blunders in the history of Pro Sports .

It’s quite sad he hasn’t been given that by the wwe, that he isn’t mentioned in the history books nearly have as much as he should be. They talk about Andre, Bruno, but never Billy Graham, it’s a shame he became bitter and criticised them so openly because no doubt that added to the divide between them. He was a big part of the steroid and sex scandal accusations against the company. It’s sad he wasn’t given a back room role to help others develope their skills

2:00:24 if Bob Backlund loved his robe so much why didn’t he either carry the WWWF Championship over his shoulder or have his manager Arnold Skoleland walk down the aisle in front of Bob Backlund holding the title up in the air with both hands so the crowd could see it. Personally that’s what I would’ve done

24:17 I see why Vince McMahon Jr doesn’t care for tag team wrestling as he got it from his dad who as Billy Graham said Vince McMahon Sr put all his focus on Bruno Sammartino (his World Champion basically). But at least Vince McMahon Jr kept the tag team titles active and not have his tag team titles not defended/active like what his father did on April 22nd 1977 when he had his last tag team titles’s match for however long
