Billy Graham sadly passed away on May 17th at the age of 79 after a long and painful battle with numerous health issues. Graham had struggled with various health concerns in the past and had been hospitalized multiple times as a result. Fans all lost hope when his wife was advised by doctors to pull him from life support earlier this month.

The Arizona Central published an obituary on the WWE Hall Of Famer. It was added that Billy Graham’s public funeral will take place on Thursday 6/1 at 12 PM local time in Chandler, Arizona at the Full Life Church (532 West Ray Road). The service will also be streamed live on the church’s website at https://fulllifechurchaz.org/livestream.

Meanwhile, speaking to TMZ Sports, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan reflected on his relationship with Billy Graham, revealing how he wanted to be like Graham as a kid. Hogan also admitted to stealing part of his gimmick from Graham as well as Dusty Rhodes.

“I want to be just like him. Billy Graham threw up a double bicep and I looked at him in shock and awe and I told my dad ‘Listen, I want to be just like him.’ From that moment on, I moulded my whole career around Dusty Rhodes and Superstar Billy Graham. I stole a little bit from each of them.”
