Billy is like a dog, he's overwhelmed with joy to be around people. Every time I see him with someone, he's constantly holding their hand and arm together.
When all else is gone, charisma never leaves. Superstar came to life here, and his mind transported back to the 70's. It was beautiful to see. Priceless!
+oldschoolfan420 mike luvs his old school wrestling. like jim ross said on legends of wrestling put mike o celebrity jeopardy and one of the Catergories is 70s wwwf wrestling. Mike will clean slate it. he a mark on superstar Billy graham and Bruno
"that's all we had back then... Channel 47" that actually made me emotional bc that's how it is today sometimes when I be watching raw about niggas like CM Punk
I love Super Star Billy Graham,there's never no lying in him and what a charismatic performer he was..Without Billy Hulk or the Ultimate Warrior or Jesses the Body never would have been who they were
We only had 6 or 7 channels on our TV back in the 70s.Boys either were watching wrestling or cartoons on saturday mornings.You can tell mike watched wrestling from the old timers names he's dropping.
Self praise? All Graham did was praise Tyson! He humbled Tyson - esp. with the Ali reference. Plus Graham was in his Superstar character/preacher mode, so "over the top" is an understatement. I think Tyson was more humbled than annoyed. He was like a child, being praised by one of HIS idols. Not the way we ever see Mike Tyson.
Superstar Billy Graham is someone very rare: He is a genuinely eccentric wrestler. In a sport full of posers, he is colorful on the outside and the inside.
Love it , Iron Mike mentioned most of the greats Bruno Dusty Koloff Morales n don't forget L THESZ, Kowalski , BABA, ANDRE, G MONSOON , LADD , D FUNK JR , H RACE , N BOCK, R STEVENS
I've gotta "mark" out: THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME! Two of the all-time greats in their respective sports! I wish I had been there! Were they charging for those autographs?
And that's the thing, no one ever stops being a fan of pro wrestling. I don't understand why they can't realize that in the industry today. Let a guy cut his own promos, let the wrestlers wrestle their own matches and people will watch again and love it.
Your lack of knowledge is showing. Graham is a legend hardly a lunatic, actually one of sanest most honest humble man around. I mean who the fuck can understand what Mike is saying here anyway. I'd like a transcript if you state you can understand him.
ha, lucha libre. they had either all star or championship wrestling episode on one or 2 days before it was on ch 9 here in NY. I am going back a ways, so I can't remember what night. I know it was late, like 11:30 pm or roundabout
superstar was being very polite in that sense..anyone that knows anything about boxing, knows that ali in his prime would have made tyson look like an amateur...there are guys that ali whooped, that would have killed tyson...sonny liston would have murdered tyson...tyson couldn't beat holyfield, how in the hell would he have beat an in his prime george foreman?
+unhombrelobo He was the first say it out of any wrestler including Hulk Hogan who stole his gimmick. So he can say it as much as he wants, that's his thing.
He's also the first person to ever call his arms "guns" and pythons...a entire legion of wrestlers have copied him...they just can't do it nearly as good as he did.
Really? 47 year old boxer would beat a 72 year old retired wrestler who can barely walk? Ya know, I think you're right. What a genius you are for hypothesizing that. Look up videos of Graham when HE was 47, or better yet, in his prime, and tell me who would whip who.
Mr. Perfect..with all due respect...graham was big strong dude...but he was an actor...he was a pro wrestler, which is just acting, while play fighting...while tyson was a real fighter...it wouldn't even be close.
superstar got very emotional..which actually got me emotional watching it...when he said how they have both been hell. which is very true...superstar went through a very dark period in his life..so did mike...
Verne was a better technical wrestler, however both in their prime, Bruno at 285, strongest man in the world with a small wrestling background would have destroyed Gagne.
superstar is always over the top..haha...but he was very genuine..I firmly believe he would have told tyson the same thing, whether the cameras were there or not..
Jive is paint on----And "Don Leo Jonathan" goes way, way back. Musta been a channel that replayed all this stuff---back in Brooklyn. Superstar B/G was a true superstar----huge and meaner than mean.
Billy Graham says Mike would knock out Ali and you saw Mike humbly NOT say or agree with Billy. Too much respect for the real Champ !!!! Mike also being very respectful to Billy Graham because you can only take only so much of the talking and praising and you the man BS… just shut up and let him sign what he came to sign. Ugh !
These guys worked together for months and a wrestler can only look good if his opponent sells his moves.Outside of the business,I'm sure they were friends.
Did Superstar say Bruno was a better wrestler than Vern Gagne? Just wondering - I thought I heard him say it. Tyson knows the history and the wrestlers.
Exactly. Mike was a child when he watched Grahama and Graham knew this. Plus that was how wrestlers kept kayfabe back then. Graham was "in character" the whole time.
Iron Mike might come across as a well informed fan in here. But when he did that press conference in 1998 with the hottest star in wrestling's history, Stone Cold Steve Austin, he called him "Cold Stone".
Probably because Mike Tyson was busy doing other things. Tyson was definitely a hard core wrestling fan in the 70s and into the 80s. His childhood hero was Bruno Sammartino. In fact, when he was with DX in 1998, McMahon had asked him "who is your favorite wrestler?" expecting Tyson to answer "Austin" or HBK". Without hesitation Tyson responded "Bruno Sammartino" which angered McMahon, since the two had a falling out for 20 years.
Were you listening? As a kid he was watching Georgia Championship Wrestling with Gordon Solie host. Featuring Bruno Sanmartino, Billy Graham, The Briscos, Ernie "The Cat" Ladd, Andre the Giant, Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson, Mil Mascaras. And you want to talk about "Stone Cold"???
D L R - Weirdos have some kind of obsession with making people like Bruno & Hogan less important than they actually were and promoting the wife beating piece of shit Austin as some kind of worldwide megastar. Bruno was huge for 20 years. So was Hogan. Of course they had a huge influence on wresting fans from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Billy is like a dog, he's overwhelmed with joy to be around people. Every time I see him with someone, he's constantly holding their hand and arm together.
👴🏻🥃 THE WIT OF THE ALGONQUIN ROUND TABLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHERE’S GEORGE S. KAUFMAN AT?
When all else is gone, charisma never leaves. Superstar came to life here, and his mind transported back to the 70's. It was beautiful to see. Priceless!
Only Superstar Billy Graham and the late great Bruno Sammartino can bring the kid out of Mike Tyson
Superstar & Tyson for the win!!!
xoxo The Clarences
Mike is a mark when it comes to pro wrestling. iron mike is a true wrestling fan.
Yes he is. What is impressive is that he names old school wrestlers like Don Leo Jonathan and not stone cold or John Cena.
+oldschoolfan420 mike luvs his old school wrestling. like jim ross said on legends of wrestling put mike o celebrity jeopardy and one of the Catergories is 70s wwwf wrestling. Mike will clean slate it. he a mark on superstar Billy graham and Bruno
Big Mike throwing the knowledge, with all he's accomplished he's a fan like all of us.
This is an historic meeting, absolutely historic!
"I LOVE YA BROTHA!" : SUPERSTAR
"THANK YOU..." : MIKE TYSON
Watching these two guys together is great! One wrestling legend and one boxing legend. Awesome!
What a great clip. Superstar is real deal.
"that's all we had back then... Channel 47" that actually made me emotional bc that's how it is today sometimes when I be watching raw about niggas like CM Punk
I love Super Star Billy Graham,there's never no lying in him and what a charismatic performer he was..Without Billy Hulk or the Ultimate Warrior or Jesses the Body never would have been who they were
Legendary video right here I feel honored watching this 💎
Superstar is a humble guy . Met him at a medical office I worked at a few times
Mike is like back up man you talking crazy 🤣🤣
I liked Mike in this video. He had respect for all the wrestlers and what they did. Superstar needed to turn it down a notch or two...
Thanks for the upload. It's a beautiful thing.. God bless Superstar Billy Graham and Iron Mike Tyson.
Two absolute legends and pioneers of their respective fields.
I am only 40 and I remember Superstar Billy Graham.Tyson is older than me so he should remember well.
the moment tyson mentioned spirios arion in his HOF speech, I knew he was legit fan growing up
My dad never breaks character even when he meets Tyson.
We only had 6 or 7 channels on our TV back in the 70s.Boys either were watching wrestling or cartoons on saturday mornings.You can tell mike watched wrestling from the old timers names he's dropping.
I love this so much fun between the baddest men in their sport.
This was nice I 💚 Mike Tyson and this "brotha man 🤣 he had a good energy that had a lot of love in his 💙 😇
2 Legendary legends!
Self praise? All Graham did was praise Tyson! He humbled Tyson - esp. with the Ali reference. Plus Graham was in his Superstar character/preacher mode, so "over the top" is an understatement. I think Tyson was more humbled than annoyed. He was like a child, being praised by one of HIS idols. Not the way we ever see Mike Tyson.
Mike was starstruck
Great video, Nice to watch these two legends get together!
Excellent, Mike knows Wrestling as well as I do! And that's good!
Superstar Billy Graham is someone very rare: He is a genuinely eccentric wrestler. In a sport full of posers, he is colorful on the outside and the inside.
I love this my favorite fighter in the whole world!
awesome upload! thank you so much.
Nice to see this on film; Mike Tyson would always refer to Superstar Billy Graham when asked about wrestling.
I cant believe the amount of respect that Grahm has for Sammartino.
bruno was and always will be the living legend...though superstar is my all time favorite wrestler...
Mike's a total old school mark! Awesome.
ya gotta love Billy
Good to see Tyson and Graham in such good spirits. Nice video. Thanks for posting.
Love it , Iron Mike mentioned most of the greats
Bruno
Dusty
Koloff
Morales n don't forget
L THESZ, Kowalski , BABA, ANDRE, G MONSOON , LADD , D FUNK JR , H RACE , N BOCK, R STEVENS
The only person to make Mike Tyson back away was SBG's non stop retoric.
Love it!!!!
I've gotta "mark" out: THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME! Two of the all-time greats in their respective sports! I wish I had been there! Were they charging for those autographs?
Billy is a lightning bolt.
Billy Graham just made me cry
2 of ofy favorites.
I wish I could meet billy graham
Him and Bruno SAMMARTINO where my Idols
why not? bruno deserves respect from everyone...
"I kick the shit outta Brisco!" You can tell Mike's a fan, this is what professional wrestling does to people, not "sports entertainment."
GREAT STUFF!...Subscribed..
And that's the thing, no one ever stops being a fan of pro wrestling. I don't understand why they can't realize that in the industry today. Let a guy cut his own promos, let the wrestlers wrestle their own matches and people will watch again and love it.
S Billy Graham was the original Showboat
My Childhood..The Good Old Days
Kudos to Mike for maintaining his composure while this lunatic rambled on endlessly.
Your lack of knowledge is showing. Graham is a legend hardly a lunatic, actually one of sanest most honest humble man around. I mean who the fuck can understand what Mike is saying here anyway. I'd like a transcript if you state you can understand him.
Lmao go watch one of his promos. This is classic Graham.
RIP Bruno
Outstanding
Whoaa Iron Mike knows even Wrestling history!
Mike is very intelligent. Make no mistake about it
Not a word was clearly, spoken this shoot.......opiates are a helluva drug........!!!
There an epidemic where I live! People who were solid have fallen OFF!
Shit, look at Iron Mike name check. And he’s hitting WWWF, NWA & the AWA.
Superstar the First Baddest Man on the planet
Tyson has been to the mountain top and he has seen the prophet SUPERSTAR- amen brotha!! (double-bicep pose)
correction Sir Tyson it was channel 41 "Lucha Libre Profesional" ev'ry Sat. 6pm & channel 47 was "NWA Florida Wrestling" ev'ry Wed. 10pm, cheers!
Good stuff!
ha, lucha libre. they had either all star or championship wrestling episode on one or 2 days before it was on ch 9 here in NY. I am going back a ways, so I can't remember what night. I know it was late, like 11:30 pm or roundabout
Tyson in his prime vs. Ali in his prime, that would be the best in time!
superstar was being very polite in that sense..anyone that knows anything about boxing, knows that ali in his prime would have made tyson look like an amateur...there are guys that ali whooped, that would have killed tyson...sonny liston would have murdered tyson...tyson couldn't beat holyfield, how in the hell would he have beat an in his prime george foreman?
Iron Mike saw Pro Wrestling in the 70's. He is the Ultimate Mark as a Fan. Supertar teaching Iron Mike a lesson on how to cut a promo
Want to play a fun drinking game? Take a drink every time you hear the word "brotha."
+marv219 "listen here brotha...let me tell you brotha....bruno sanmartino brotha....living legend brotha, we are gentleman brotha" hahaha
+unhombrelobo He was the first say it out of any wrestler including Hulk Hogan who stole his gimmick. So he can say it as much as he wants, that's his thing.
Andre the Giant couldn't hang with that one.
He's also the first person to ever call his arms "guns" and pythons...a entire legion of wrestlers have copied him...they just can't do it nearly as good as he did.
Really? 47 year old boxer would beat a 72 year old retired wrestler who can barely walk? Ya know, I think you're right. What a genius you are for hypothesizing that.
Look up videos of Graham when HE was 47, or better yet, in his prime, and tell me who would whip who.
Mr. Perfect..with all due respect...graham was big strong dude...but he was an actor...he was a pro wrestler, which is just acting, while play fighting...while tyson was a real fighter...it wouldn't even be close.
superstar got very emotional..which actually got me emotional watching it...when he said how they have both been hell. which is very true...superstar went through a very dark period in his life..so did mike...
He said Bruno was better than Verge mainly because Bruno had no EGO
Verne was a better technical wrestler, however both in their prime, Bruno at 285, strongest man in the world with a small wrestling background would have destroyed Gagne.
Superstar can't turn it down.Like asking a Lion in Africa to hone it down when hunting down a herd of Gazelles
Tyson is quite the wrestling mark.
If you turned down the sound you’d think this was an intense argument! Lol
I have seen the light! Where the the hell is James Brown?
Billy was very over the top. But he definately must have felt that deep connection with Tyson
superstar is always over the top..haha...but he was very genuine..I firmly believe he would have told tyson the same thing, whether the cameras were there or not..
Lol, Sunny sitting there like.."uhhh"
Jive is paint on----And "Don Leo Jonathan" goes way, way back. Musta been a channel that replayed all this stuff---back in Brooklyn.
Superstar B/G was a true superstar----huge and meaner than mean.

Mike also being very respectful to Billy Graham because you can only take only so much of the talking and praising and you the man BS… just shut up and let him sign what he came to sign. Ugh !
Tyson knows old school wrestling!
if you had any "glory days" to talk about, maybe you would too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tyson knows a lot about pro-wrestling
well exactly that my point, but superstar respect bruno to the next level, which i cant believe it in a good way. :)
Super star Billy Graham Mike Tyson Mil Mascaras
Mike has nice T- shirt.
Everybody stole his style HULK HOGAN,RICH FLAIR, AUSTIN IDOL,AND MANY MORE
u don't know to much about classic wrestlers thats how super star Billy Graham talks thats his word brotha
It looks like Graham crossed the line with Tyson when he said Tyson would have beat Muhammad Ali and is greater than him.
Like this! Its like two kids in a soda shop!
WTF of All people Sunny is witnessing this 😂😂😂😂
👴🏻🥃 THE ALGONQUIN ROUND TABLE. WHERE’S THE WIT OF HARPO MARX AT?
Al Snow and Mike Tyson have something in common. they both have "HELP ME" written all over their face. lol poor mike
Iron knows his shit
These guys worked together for months and a wrestler can only look good if his opponent sells his moves.Outside of the business,I'm sure they were friends.
Did Superstar say Bruno was a better wrestler than Vern Gagne? Just wondering - I thought I heard him say it.
Tyson knows the history and the wrestlers.
think he's kissing Mikes ass enough
Best comment ever
Now THAT was um... interesting.
👴🏻🥃 VOTE HARRIS IN 24
Graham talks to Tyson like he's a child
Exactly. Mike was a child when he watched Grahama and Graham knew this. Plus that was how wrestlers kept kayfabe back then. Graham was "in character" the whole time.
Two legends.
brother
How many brothers can you say
"u got ta put sum ruspeckt on da supastaw's name daddy"
Iron Mike might come across as a well informed fan in here. But when he did that press conference in 1998 with the hottest star in wrestling's history, Stone Cold Steve Austin, he called him "Cold Stone".
Slip of the tongue.
Tyson was never in the ring with Hulk Hogan in 1998.
Probably because Mike Tyson was busy doing other things. Tyson was definitely a hard core wrestling fan in the 70s and into the 80s. His childhood hero was Bruno Sammartino. In fact, when he was with DX in 1998, McMahon had asked him "who is your favorite wrestler?" expecting Tyson to answer "Austin" or HBK".
