“Superstar” Billy Graham, one of the most charismatic pro wrestlers of all time, has died at 79 years old, according to fellow wrestling legend Ric Flair.
Graham (real name Eldridge Wayne Coleman) died Wednesday after being taken off life support and spending most of his time in the hospital this year. He was initially hospitalized in January with an infection in his ears that spread to his ear bones and skull. Graham was battling numerous health issues that included acute kidney failure, congestive heart failure, diabetes, and hearing loss.
Graham was in deteriorating health throughout the last decades of his life. He received a liver transplant in 2002 due to hepatitis C and cirrhosis.
