Things the Superstar Billy Graham is on: ✅ The airwaves ✅ The superstation ✅ The cable system ✅ The satellite system ✅ The laser beam system ✅ The microwave system
I am the man of the hour The man with the power To sweet to be sour The women's pet The men's regret What you see is what you get What you don't see is better yet...... Fantastic.
"Black mans lingo and style" lol because how dare he right? Let's start getting angry when a black person gets "A little too white" and invents something. George Washington Carver was gettin pretty white!
zeranzeran - Well you know its the truth as of today's culture too , he and dusty Rhodes admitted it just look it up ....but sometimes the truth hurts when you kids and grandkids except before you do !!??
Notice how, when Superstar speaks, the whole audience went silent. They wanted to hear every word because they knew they were getting the top shelf goods.
It's like Hulk Hogan, Ventura, Dusty Rhodes, Steiner, Flair, Macho and Mr.T all rolled into one. Perhaps one of the most influential wrestlers off all time. It's a shame Superstar never fully got the recognition he deserved as being the blueprint and catalyst for so many of his predecessor's.
Superstar Billy Graham the Master, the originator not the duplicator. His rap influenced countless number of wrestlers. One of the greatest of all time!
@@pershadhall1620 yeah Muhammad Ali influenced many. And then the ones who influenced Ali like gorgeous George and sugar Ray Robinson. They’ve all paid homage to their predecessors.
I was born in 91. While I never really watched Billy Grahms stuff til now, I always heard of his greatness. And seeing what he did right here it makes sense. You can see all the stuff that people borrowed from him. He isn't a superstar. He is THE star. The north star. Because everyone follows him. Whereever you may be now Billy, thank you for your contributions to this silly thing I love called Wrestling. May your star shine forever.
Vince McMahon said in an interview that if he had gained control of the WWF from his father a few years sooner, he would have turned Superstar babyface and pushed him like he did Hulk Hogan.
@david samuels Honestly? What I've seen it's not shocking. Like, I've seen so many fingerprints on this guy from all the stuff he did in his carrier. The too sweet to be sour line used by Macho Man. A little rambling like the Ultimate Warrior. The way he carried himself can be linked to how heels behave today. I thought people were exaggerating when they said everyone took from him but hell no. This is legit and so was he.
@@IHeartVideoGames08 Yup. Superstar is one of the most influential wrestlers in the history of the business. This promo that he cut on TBS is a prime example.
Its absolutely mental to look back on Superstar's promos and know that Dusty, Flair, Austin, Savage, Hogan, Piper etc etc all came AFTER him. Each and every one of them has a piece of Billy Graham's persona associated PERPETUALLY with them.
He was on a roll here. He noticed it and seemed like he was about to crack up…like the San Andreas Fault. Superstar is still my favorite wrestler…IMO, he’s had more impact on how wrestlers present themselves than anyone besides Gorgeous George…
"How you gonna deal with the man of steel?" This man was unbelievable on the mic. He had loads of charisma. It is a shame that at this point in his career his body was giving out on him. Years of steroid abuse and injuries finally caught up to the Superstar.
This man should of been NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I love his promos. The Original Big Poppa Pump! Its funny some of these guys were influenced by him. Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. The man definitely had excellent mic skills and can wrestle on top of that.
Superstar deserved more than the last two minutes of this NWA episode. I recall wishing he had more appearances. I remember him from the No. California days in the 70s.
Wow I can see the influence Superstar had on the young up coming talent at the time...thank you for your life Bill Graham..May angels watch over your forever sleep ❤
Superstar Billy Graham was my 1st wrestling hero, nobody before or since was jacked like superstar Billy Graham was in the mid 70s!!!! This is much later in his career and he's still HUGE
Graham was hilarious! When he said "Drop that Icy" in one of his promos I couldn't stop laughing for days. Yes, Graham came first I remember him going clear back to 1973 or even earlier in the AWA. I was 6 or 7 years old. He was funny even then. Dusty Rhodes stole his catch phase, "The Tower Of Power, To Sweet to be Sower!" But Graham also said "I'm The Woman's Pet, The Men's regret, what you see is what you get! What you don't see ladies is even better yet!" Dusty couldn't use that line.
I wasnt born til 88' but damn I always gotta youtube this mans epic promos! Such captivating intriguing promos this man gave back in the day. I rather watch this stuff than todays crap! My fav on the mic :)
To everyone saying Hogan, Savage, Steiner, etc.... stole from SSBG of course they did, he was a monster of a character, he brought the Bodybuilder physique into wrestling, innovated the way promos were done, despite his out of the ring problems and issues, he was one of modern wrestling's forefathers
+Skeefoo Panama I knew all that about Billy Graham I knew hogan ripped him off . but I never realized he stole his entire gimmick from start to finish I mean hogan never had an original thought ever.
Things the Superstar Billy Graham is on:
✅ The airwaves
✅ The superstation
✅ The cable system
✅ The satellite system
✅ The laser beam system
✅ The microwave system
Coke as well
Steroids also
And roids don’t forget the roids!!!
Unfortunately right now , the life support system. Hope he recovers.... Keep fighting Superstar!!
@@chadmiller2224Sadly he died yesterday early evening🥺😥
You can't deny his influence on Pro-Wrestling today. One of a Kind. RIP.
I know I agree. I miss him Loved him since a kid
He sounds like Dusty Rhodes. Graham never gets the respect he deserves. So many wrestlers took something from Graham.
You can see how much Ali influenced him
@@mattm3729you nailed it all these wrestlers got it from Ali
I can only imagine the lust in Hogan's eyes when he saw this promo
Rest in Peace Superstar...you were the blueprint to all the greatness. We gonna miss you so much! 😢
I am the man of the hour
The man with the power
To sweet to be sour
The women's pet
The men's regret
What you see is what you get
What you don't see is better yet......
Fantastic.
All black mans lingo and style
@@cozycool3505 he makes it work for him no matter whos lingo it is
"Black mans lingo and style" lol because how dare he right? Let's start getting angry when a black person gets "A little too white" and invents something. George Washington Carver was gettin pretty white!
I aint got no issies with it as a non white he knows how to sell it an make it wrk for him
zeranzeran - Well you know its the truth as of today's culture too , he and dusty Rhodes admitted it just look it up ....but sometimes the truth hurts when you kids and grandkids except before you do !!??
So this is the real biological father of Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Scott Steiner!!!
And Dusty And Flair And Stone Cold
@@ericmonaco4509 Flair took Buddy Roger's gimmick and Stone cold took a lot of David Schultz
@@vivahernando1 But in ECW Austin called himself Superstar
Add Triple H.
True he is the Blueprint !

Were people that preceded him really influenced by him? That's Amazing!
This is one of the greatest promos of all time. This man is a poet.
And doesn't know it.
Copied his promos directly from Muhammed Ali
@@URSTUCK-ut4fs Not totally
Superstar did it better.
@@URSTUCK-ut4fs Graham openly acknowledged that he copied Ali, who openly acknowledged that he copied Gorgeous George. Get over yourself.
Jesse ventura hulk Hogan and Scott Steiner all stole elements of SUper STar
robert bogert and Dusty Rhodes
And Ric Flair. I wouldn't say "stole"... more like "inspired." Graham finds it flattering, as he should.
He trained Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura.
Don't forget Savage
He was the first real poppa Pump. Chiseled from granite . The biggest arms
Superstar Billy Graham the Master, the originator not the duplicator. His rap influenced countless number of wrestlers. One of the greatest of all time!
Shut up!! Superstar billy graham stole Muhammad Ali personia
@@pershadhall1620 yeah Muhammad Ali influenced many. And then the ones who influenced Ali like gorgeous George and sugar Ray Robinson. They’ve all paid homage to their predecessors.
Wrong, not the originator. He was the duplicator because he copied his promo style from the greatest Muhammed Ali
@@URSTUCK-ut4fs Not totally. Ali never came up with "cobalt, asphalt, your fault, my fault, her fault, his fault, San Andreas Fault."
@@pershadhall1620 Muhammad Ali got it from Gorgeous George.

superstar billy graham was the man, OFTEN IMITATED BUT NEVER DUPLICATED.
Actually it was Gorgeous George that started it All.
Jeeze, you can spot so many famous wrestlers in this man. Hulk, Macho, Flair, the whole nine yards... RIP
That was the best wrestling promo of the 1980's hands down!!!! YOUR FAULT.. HIS FAULT.. SAN ANDREAS FAULT.. FLIPPING HILARIOUS!!!
Hahaa ITS GOT GOLD ON IT ITS GOT PLATINUM
The man was a genius!!
I have seen this a billion times and still never gets old :-)
+Travis Tarrant i know what you mean . He was pure gold on the mic .
+DoktorSick .....Absolutely brilliant
Billy Graham really paved the way for a lot of people, wrestling today needs more people like him!
They'll never be another Superstar Graham. I think Savage Dusty Hogan and Muraco was it. I wish someone today would follow him
@Steve Dwyer The only person I can think of who has that old-school cadence is daddy magic Matt Menard. But he is a comedy character.
rip
Back here after Superstar’s passing. With all due respect to the legend Dusty Rhodes, Superstar was truly the tower of power too sweet to be sour.
Guys like Hollywood Hogan and Scott Steiner owe this guy a lot. Billy Graham was the first of his kind.
They should send his family royalty checks- out of respect.
This guy was a pioneer, he had it all, my favorite of al time
The man. The Superstar. He sure knew how to cut a promo. The best on the mic 🎤 👌.
“Your fault his fault San Andreas Fault” I’ve only watched 3 promos from him and he’s already one of the best to ever do it.
So this is who Scott Steiner was trying to emulate.
Absolutely!! Scott was just NC-17 with his promos lol
Hogan, Jesse, Idoi, stiner, dusty, flair, ect ect promo wise they all stole from him
@@kyles6813 yep And he was cool with it
Looks wise yes. Promo wise I dont know what Scotty was doing. It was entertaining though lol
Yep. He will even tell you that. He's said in interviews that Superstar was who he modeled himself after .
Often imitated never duplicated. You were one of a kind. RIP BILLY…
They all owe him!! He's the godfather of them all baby!!! He is and always will be the SUPERSTAR!!!
Superstar Graham was the original. Rick Flair, Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan and a host of others tried emulating his charismatic style.
Dozer Johnson Flair did it well!
He knew how to talk that JIVE way before those guys came along and tried to emulate him.He was so COOL.Lol
Him and Bruno Sammartino, amazing match
Dusty Rhodes got his whole promo style from Superstar Billy Graham.
Its absolutely mental to look back on Superstar's promos and know that Dusty, Flair, Austin, Savage, Hogan, Piper etc etc all came AFTER him. Each and every one of them has a piece of Billy Graham's persona associated PERPETUALLY with them.
wow that was very impressive. This type of energy is exactly what's missing in WWE.
Superstar Billy Graham is one of the greatest of all time
Wwe stars aren't allowed to say and do whatever they want during promos. It's too scripted, it takes the energy away
@@MrDeadsrSuperstar Billy Graham was never WWE , he was WWWF, what they should go back to. I hate the letters WWE
Darko Pecanac right ! First time seen this guy and I liked hime
Any try to copy so ironic
Billy Graham was way ahead of his time!
The reason everyone is a superstar in wwe.
Rest in Peace CHAMP. You were a great one. There will never be another SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM.
This is incredible
I'm on the satellite system! I'm on the microwave system!
One of the greatest showmen in the business. Love the tie-dye and the muscles. Rest in peace Wayne.
RIP SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM. WE WILL MISS YOU BRO👍🏾💯😪. I WAS 7, WHEN THIS CAME OUT😪
Billy Graham is a legend. Fantastic mike skills, unscripted and raw. God bless you Billy🙏
Hulk even stole the "pythons" gimmick? Wow..
He was wrestling 15 years before Hogan and sounding like that way before Hogan
no stiner stoles
Yes he did rip off super star Billy Graham gimmick all of it words in all
He was cool with it.
Or did Hulk say it 1st and Billy stole it?
Billy Graham was fn awesome! I gotta watch some film of him. I was born just after his time in 82.
Superstar is on Fire. Todays Rappers doesnt stand a chance against Superstar.
RIP to the man, the myth, the LEGEND!
My man sound like rapper love it
RIP Billy Graham
RIP Billy Graham. He was one of the greatest WWWF Champions of all time! 💪
Rip Billy Graham he definitely gave birth to alot the wrestlers we loved growing up
Oh man i was 11 years old watching this masterpiece turning classic promos. Awesome times.
He was on a roll here. He noticed it and seemed like he was about to crack up…like the San Andreas Fault.
Superstar is still my favorite wrestler…IMO, he’s had more impact on how wrestlers present themselves than anyone besides Gorgeous George…
R. I. P. Superstar
I love how each era has its own cadence for promos. I hear a lot of dusty rhodes gold era promo cadence
Best rapper of his time
One of his best promos.
RIP Superstar
he was spitting lyrics before anybody ! for real !
This promo was perfection.
He started the next 30 yrs of professional wrestling superstars.
"How you gonna deal with the man of steel?"
This man was unbelievable on the mic. He had loads of charisma. It is a shame that at this point in his career his body was giving out on him. Years of steroid abuse and injuries finally caught up to the Superstar.
Often imitated but never duplicated :)
Amen!
This man should of been NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I love his promos. The Original Big Poppa Pump! Its funny some of these guys were influenced by him. Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. The man definitely had excellent mic skills and can wrestle on top of that.
It's got Cobalt, it's got Asphalt and it's you're fault. Lol classic
How did he know all this about the title belt? And who ran over it with a car to put the asphalt there? :-)
Superstar deserved more than the last two minutes of this NWA episode. I recall wishing he had more appearances. I remember him from the No. California days in the 70s.
One of the best promos ever
RIP Superstar. Man, did you ever break the mold for those who came after you! And it's a good list, too! What an awesome promo!
Scott Steiner Took Notes ! Lol
Hacka Slash Too bad he can't read
Wow I can see the influence Superstar had on the young up coming talent at the time...thank you for your life Bill Graham..May angels watch over your forever sleep ❤
Rip Billy Graham
The icon of wreslting who was inspiration to hulk hogan and wwe hall of famer.
One of my favorite wrestler
Superstar definitely knew how to cut a promo in his day, one of the most colorful legends in the business.
I love the old wcw! Grew up watching this on TBS.
May he rest in Peace, one of the Best wrestler’s ever🙏🏽
He was definitely and will always be appreciated in our Hearts, rest peacefully
I struggle to imagine anyone cooler than the superstar.
Superstar Billy Graham was my 1st wrestling hero, nobody before or since was jacked like superstar Billy Graham was in the mid 70s!!!! This is much later in his career and he's still HUGE
The Man-----Often Imitated ..Never ever duplicated..RIP

Chael Sonnen must've inspired Billy Graham because he's said similar things in his UFC promos...
@@HighFalutinTootin More like Superstar Billy Graham inspired Chael Sonnen.
Billy Graham and Buddy Rogers laid the foundation on wrestling promos
I can’t imagine what my life would have been like of I never saw him! Love the superstar!
There ain't too many wrestlers who are this charismatic today.
Rip Billy Grahsm youll be missed legend
RIP to Superstar Billy Graham! I also go to this video from time to time!
No matter how many times I watch this, it never gets old One of the great promos Don't care who copied who..
Chael Sonnen watched this video 1,000 times and memorized every word.
RIP Superstar Billy Graham
The man of the hour the man with the power too sweet to be sour
Oh!yeah!!!!The macho man Randy Savage saying may you rest in peace🌹
RIP Superstar 😢
His influence on many legends is clear, a true pioneer.
No doubt
@@bdot187um Dusty Rhodes Hulk Hogan Jesse Ventura Ric Flair all in 1 package before they all became stars

one of the best smack talkers ever
This man influenced so many wrestlers. Steiner , Ventura hogan etc

Dusty, Savage, Flair, Hogan, and many more followed in his footsteps, but there will always be only ONE superstar Billy Graham
The Man of the Hour The Man with the Power to sweet to be Sour.
This is the superstar I remember as a kid . I thought he was an old man then
This beast was amazing back in the day.
One of The Best…he brought joy to many…easy journey.
You can really see what they built Hogan around. Wow. This is a very small sounding close encounter for the fans.
RIP to a Legend the the wildest man in the land Superstar Billy Graham
RIP to the first WWE Superstar!!’
Man, did Hogan do ANYTHING original? All hail the Supastah!
"It's got cobalt, and asphalt. Your fault, his fault--San Andreas fault!"
Brilliant.
USMC man Superstar was unbelievable greatest of all time
dam hulk stole this guys whole image
No shit Keith, Hogan ripped off SS Graham, he was Original Charisma way before Hogan jumped on his band wagon.
+Skeefoo Panama I knew all that about Billy Graham I knew hogan ripped him off . but I never realized he stole his entire gimmick from start to finish I mean hogan never had an original thought ever.
I said the same thing
Keith Gettysberg dusty Rhodes jacked his style of talk.
Jesse Ventura ripped him off too. But they both got the blessing from Billy, to do his act.
