Pro wrestling legend 'Superstar' Billy Graham has died, WWE says, just short of what would have been his 80th birthday.
Graham's"flashy fashion style, over-the-top interviews and bodybuilder physique created the archetype for a generation of Superstars that followed in his footsteps," WWE says.
He was, according to WWE,"perhaps the single-most influential performer in WWE history whose interviews, fashion and physique inspired Hulk Hogan, Jesse 'The Body' Ventura and Scott Steiner." It notes that his"greatest WWE achievement" was taking the WWE championship from fellow wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino in April 1977. He held onto the title for almost a year.He retired in 1987, at the age of 44, and became a manager and then a color commentator.Bobby Bank/WireImage via Getty
