On life support. Doctors want to take him off but wife is fighting to keep him on.
Dude really did make an impact back in his hey day. Was the original total package. Had the look, could work the mic, decent skills.
-
Many wrestlers copied him.

I was at the World powerlifting championships in 1980 and there were some impressive looking dudes there like Doug Young and John Kuc and a bunch more that I don’t even know who they were but I looked up and there was this massive bald headed guy and he stood about 6-5 and had crazy arms.It was Graham and I don’t even know why he was there but in a room full of freaks he stood out.
-
He makes an appearance in this video about a WWE gay sex scandal from 1992. In it, he says he overdosed on barbiturates more than once:

RIP if it does happen. Yes, he was an entertaining trailblazer but he was also the guy saying he was dying "from steroids" for about 30 years straight now.

Yeah.
With all these wrestlers it can be hard to tell what’s a work and what’s a shoot. I’m sure Billy loved the attention. Don’t forget he said VKM was grooming you boys for Pat Patterson (or something outlandish like that) and then later said he was lying.

A lot of that was covered in the Donahue video above.
Superstar is almost 80 [three weeks from now]. Great lifespan. Judging by his age, this sounds like a Covid death.
-
I’m sure the PEDs are a factor but the rec drugs and alcohol addictions probably don’t help either.
-
The guys has had serious health issues for many decades. Surprised he lived this long. Prayers for his family.

From rough road life and bumps all the times it’s like their bodies just give out. The wear and tear is horrendous. But the man is a legend no doubt.

His body was already falling apart in the 80's when he made his NWA run. He changed his gimmick to a karate guy and his whole wrestling style because of his bad hips.

RIP
-
Both Hulk and Ventura owe him for their gimmicks. RIP
Most guys like this blew through ten fortunes on wine, women and song ... no reason to feel bad for the guy. Feel bad for an Owen Hart or Magnum TA.
-
Influenced many, from Hogan to Steiner, etc...
RIP
Bit of an irongame legend as well... Loved the weights...
-
The man of the hour, the man w/ the power,
Too sweet to be sour!
Eldridge Wayne Coleman
