Don Muraco v. Dave Wagner (No longer
called “Magnicent”, Muraco is now known as “The Rock”. Muraco is actually the
second
wrestler in the WWF to be called The Rock. The first was Rocky Johnson back in
the early 80s. The third wrestler to go by that
name was of course Rocky’s son Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who in the late 90s,
would go on to be one of the most famous
wrestlers in the history of the sport)
25.
"Superstar" Billy Graham v. Butch Reed
(One Man Gang runs in and together with Reed & Slick, DESTROY Graham! Don
Muraco
comes in to run off the heels, but it was too little, too late, as Graham would

2.
Update: Butch Reed and the One Man Gang
putting Superstar Billy Graham out of action and perhaps out of wrestling for
good.
“The Rock” Don Muraco is picked to replace Graham in the Survivor Series.
It had actually been earlier determined that even after his operation and
rehabilitation, Graham’s hip was no longer in good enough shape for
him to continue wrestling, and Graham would have to retire from the ring as an
active wrestler, thus the brutal attack by Reed & One Man
Gang to explain Graham’s retirement. Muraco would become Graham’s protégé after
this. This would become readily apparent by the tie
dyed T-shirts that Muraco would begin wearing, as well as his incredible new
physique, no doubt brought on by the same steroids
that Graham had been taking for so long during his own career.)
