1977 Superstar Billy Graham Posing in Times Square
Vintage image of then-Wrestling Champion Superstar Billy Graham of the World Wide Wrestling Federation ( WWWF) posing on Broadway in Times Square New York City. The Superstar was scheduled to wrestle at Madison Square Garden later in the evening and decided to venture out for a walk in Times Square to clear his head. On 42nd Street (The Deuce) he was unexpectedly mobbed by wrestling fans of all persuasions. Feeling that heel heat as people from every walk of life were flocking to him, he ripped off his shirt and stood on a garbage can and posed. An idol among the masses. Bonus vintage product placement points for Bond Clothing Store in the background and a large Winston Cigarette billboard as well. RIP Superstar Graham - the heel you couldn’t hate. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
