Dusty Rhodes Inducts Eddie Graham - Hall of Fame 08 Part 8

[beastishdude]

i want inception

[EMMATAYLORBRAND]

Dusty's voice is so amazing,..so addictive

[8moody1]

I just wanted to add what a shame it is that anything that I have learned about Jerry has all been negative. His alcohol and mental problems etc. At one time they were the very best, ahead of their time and packed arenas. When Eddie was inducted into the Hall of Fame, Vince admitted that they were his favorite tag-team of all time. If that is true, is Jerry in the Hall as well? I would love to see the WWE release a dvd of their matches or a movie about them while people still remember.

[8moody1]

What bothers me the most is the lack of information, photos and videos of them at their best when I know that they are out there somewhere. The first wrestling magazine that I had ever seen was called Wrestling Illustrated, 58 or 59. They were on the cover and it was during their days with Capitol Wrestling under Vince Sr. when they were the tag-team champions. I lost track of Eddie once he moved to Tampa and it seems like Jerry turned into a pariah and no-one wants to acknowledge him.

eddie graham helped train hulk hogan.

Eddie Graham is a successful yet tragic story.....

[8moody1]

I loved Dr.Jerry and Eddie Graham, they are my all time favorites, no tag team could get a crowd as wound up as these two, they caused riots in MSG, they were involved in the bloodiest feud ever with Antonio Rocco and Miguel Perez. and were the hottest team in wrestling in the late 50,s and early 60,s,but it is almost impossible to find any footage or photos of them in their prime.

What's with youtube videos and frequently being out of sync with sound? I mean what's wrong with the uploading process? Is it youtube or the uploader?

[supercrazy87]

wow this is out of sync

[azariah15]

That's nothing new. I haven't heard of a decente promoter. Vince mcMahon is most likey the worst and an ingrate.

[rmorte62]

Lemme tell ya sumthin babyz! Very appropriate that Dusty inducts Eddie Graham. I saw them week after week on Championship Wrestling From Florida. Great stuff.

[Mercer2008]

That voice...

[saholben]

EG was the shits concerning payoffs. Read Gary Hart's book

[abc1000001]

@saholben Was that a good book?

[eraffel]

Weren't Wild Bull and Flying Fred Curry Tag Team Champions?

[gwillo1]

Eddie Graham and that butt stroker Vince Mcmahon in the back of the Limo riding the Hershey Highway and sucking on cocks,The master promotor of bull shit and Dusty is the pivot man in their circle jerk contest ,Gold dust is there cleaning up the cum stains off the floor with his tongue

[theimp1995MAI]

your fucking weird

[hershysquirts187]

didn't dusty take eddie graham stable of wrestlers and take them to crocket. and then he took his own life. now hes inducting him into the hall of fame. i'm sure eddie wouldn't want dusty to induct him. dusty is a shmuck.

[mcfrs]

No!!!! Do you know how much money Rhodes made for Graham? CWF was the hottest wrestling promotion in the 70's. Rhodes wrestled for 4 promotions at once, Graham some of the money because he was Rhodes promoter. Rhodes wrestled damn near every Friday night in Atlanta, from 75-80. Graham gets the money.

Graham took his life because CWF was losing money. Fans weren't going to the matches. All the regional NWA promotions had financial difficulty, including Georgia. Blame Vince Jr.

[heyarnoldsknee]

And who's fault is that? People who decide to take Vince's money and go to HIS promotion. Vince didnt hypnotise anyone, THEY chose to leave Eddie and work for Vince.

[mcfrs]

Has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

[createsutoo]

great speech.....inspirational.....t­oo..

very nice.....informative.+.

[MarvinYoureNaked]

Eddie Graham was a master of PR with all the charity stuff while they were doing devil worshiping angles in the ring.

[Surreal469]

Dusty's song just makes you wanna dance like him doesn't it?

[brnleague99]

@Surreal469 Y'know Vince wanted so much to humiliate Dusty with the music and the polka dots...problem was, Dusty had such a rapport with fans. That it was IMPOSSIBLE to bury him. All he ever needed was 5 minutes with a crowd and it was HIS...to quote Terry Funk.

[liltd87]

Dusty is fucking hilarious!!!

[JoeMomma2002]

eddie graham was a notrious crook and racist.

This induction was political.

[wc470]

how do you know

[JoeMomma2002]

Many wrestlers who worked with them have stated that he underpaid workers.

Black wrestlers claimed they were underpaid and sometimes never paid. He would cater to his main-eventers only and ignore everyone else.

He was crook. People who committe sucide usually do it because of some over-welhming shame. IN this case Eddie Graham's notrious treatment of mid-card wrestlers.

Read some books into Southern Rasslin', christ! People never read anymore or investigate anymore.

[twisteds666]

wanna know a secret, most promotors are fucking crooks

[bmeister316]

yeah, read books from authors who have never watched wrestling. B.S.!!

[MarvinYoureNaked]

Funny that Flair, in his new shoot interview, said the same thing about the short payoffs in Florida -- as champ mind you -- but still made sure to get his face time for this all the same.

[bmeister316]

How do you know???

[aitraining]

Oh. These WWE hall of fame stuff is just great. I watch them on demand, but having posted here is just great!

[jayme603]

[pinboyjorf]
