Eddie is the reason Florida was on the map as a hotbed for wrestling. Everyone says he was the best mastermind in the business. It is a shame he left us so soon. He would have been fun to speak with at these conventions.  
 
I am glad to see him getting inducted there in Florida on March 29th.

Eddie Graham was such a great mastermind of a booker and promoter.  I don't understand what led to the downfall of CWF and Graham's eventual suicide?  I know that at the time of his suicide, Florida CWF was not doing nearly as well as promotions run by Bill Watts or Jim Crockett, but wasn't Graham just as talented or more talented as a promoter and a booker than they were?  I know he was at least better than Jim Crockett, who didn't actually do any booking.
 
Wht wasn't CWF one of the main promotions at the time when Bill Watts' UWF, Fritz Von Erich's WCCW, and Jim Crockett's promotions were all competition for the WWF?
