The man billed from Paradise Valley, Arizona revolutionised the way that wrestlers looked, talked and acted. At his peak in the 1970s Billy Graham had the best physique in professional wrestling and was an award winning bodybuilder as well as training partner to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Graham was absolutely shredded and made other wrestlers, who were in good shape themselves, look bad in comparison. Graham has since admitted that this was the result of massive steroid abuse and is an outspoken critic of the performance enhancing drugs since suffering many nasty side effects since retiring in 1987. But Graham was not just a body. He also had a unique promo style for the time and often spoke in rhymes. Throw in tie-dye clothes and bleached blonde hair and Graham was bound to stand out. Other wrestlers took note, most notably Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura. Not only that but Graham also introduced the term 'brother' to describe his fellow professional wrestlers which has since become part of the wrestling lexicon.
