Eldridge Wayne Coleman (born September 10, 1943) better known by his ring name "Superstar" Billy Graham, is an American retired professional wrestler. Graham is a former WWWF Champion, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004.

Graham's popularity was based principally on the basis of his character, rather than his wrestling skills. His bodybuilder's physique and flamboyant patter paved the way for wrestlers like Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, Scott Steiner and Triple H, who were all heavily influenced by Graham's example. Graham called his twenty-two inch arms "pythons," and often recited self-aggrandizing poetry during his interviews, a technique inspired by Muhammad Ali. A typical example: "I'm the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour. The women's pet, the men's regret. What you see is what you get. And what you don't see is better yet."www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/20942/20-years-too-soon-the-superstar-billy-graham-story/

Career

A former football player and bodybuilder, Coleman selected his ring name as a tribute to the famous evangelist Billy Graham, at one of whose revival meetings he had converted to Christianity. The name was used to make him a kayfabe brother to the earlier Graham Brothers (Eddie Graham, Dr. Jerry Graham and Luke Graham). Coleman added "Superstar" to his ring name after hearing the song "Jesus Christ Superstar." Sometimes he was simply referred to as Superstar Graham to avoid confusion with the evangelist.
