Dusty's Run in the WWWF in the Late 70's
Jan 28th, 2010, 1:09pm
 
I've searched everywhere, and can't seem to find any info on this, so I figured I'd ask here.
 
When I first got into wrestling, I remember Dusty and Superstar Billy Graham feuding in the WWWF. One of the first promos I ever saw was of Dusty talking about saving Grahams eye in a match.
Something along those lines.
 
Was a long time ago, and the memory is fuzzy, but I've always wondered what that was all about.
 
I've seen the MSG Bullrope match between Rhodes and Graham, but there didn't seem to be any incident involving Grahams eye during the match.
 
If anyone remembers this, or has info on this angle, could you post it so I finally know what happened? Thanks in advance!!

I never saw their matches but I remember Gordon Solie interviewing Dusty Rhodes from Georgia. on WTBS, about a match with Graham in MSG. That's back when Vince Sr. recognized the NWA belt and was still a member of the NWA.  
I would love to see one of their matches. They were both superstars at the time.

Yeah. From what I remember of the time, Rhodes was a monster face when he would come to the WWWF, and Graham was probably the most cheered for heel of his era.
 
I never got a chance to see them wrestle in person, but I did see the footage of the Bullrope match at MSG a few years back.
They really worked well together in the ring.
I know they teamed earlier in the AWA(I think), so I guess they knew each others styles from there. They had the place on fire from the looks of it. Would have loved to have been there.
