Superstar Billy Graham has died at 79. He was a great wrestler and a huge influence on professional wrestling. Too bad he was a steroid junky and his lat years have been tough ones.
Rest is Peace.

RIP to one of the great legends
most of the family were big wrestling fans better not say it was staged or expect to fight lol
My departed brother especially was a huge fan
My 3rd son is so much into wrestling that he took college courses and got a degree wanting to become a promoter.
Sadly, he currently works for Pepsi.
RIP. good memories
Very sad. I was just reading two days ago, that he was in hospice. One of my all time favorite wrestlers. That was when wrestling was fun to watch. RIP big man.
Sorry about SS Billy Graham. But 79 is almost unheard of for a pro wrestler; the lifestyle is not conducive to longevity.
Brookwood- my youngest daughter got an Art degree. We tried to tell her to get something which was useful, but she paid her own way and did what she wanted. Now, ten years later, she is a bank credit analyst. She has never had a job which had anything to do with her degree, although, strangely, she could not have her present position without a degree in SOMETHING, they didn't care what.
When young......my uncle JerryDon and I would watch Saturday Night Wrestling out of Okla City.
Our favorite was Danny "The Man" Hodge........who sadly passed away recently. He was famous for his immense grip strength...........and demonstrated as much, on the floor of the Oklahoma Legislature, by crushing apples with either hand..........while in his eighties.
Yep......those were the days. "........and watch out for flying chairs!!!" 😳
My eldest son and friends were into wrestling when they were in middle school, he hosted a wrestling party in our basement one time, had a big time.
After he graduated we converted the basement into my office. The room where the boys held the party had a wallpaper mural on one end (Geese flying at sunset) and wife was amazed at how many BB's we picked out of the geese.
Then we took down the "WrestleMania" poster on one wall and found a boy-sized hole in sheetrock.
LOL, thats awesome. The good ol days. Our son was really into wrestling also, it was a lot of fun.
khannoneer, your daughter's story isn't that unusual. The ability to put in the work to get a BA degree is meaningful to HR, no matter what the degree is in.
