10 former Bodybuilders who became WWE superstars

#9 Billy Graham

Billy Graham

Billy Graham is a familiar face among the old fans. He is someone without which the history of WWE will not be complete. Graham had numerous title runs in the company and was one of the biggest draws that Vince McMahon Sr. had at his disposal. Billy’s stardom however, had roots in his love for bodybuilding.

He won many bodybuilding contests before making it into the WWE and was featured in many magazines. Also, Graham used to train with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who happened to be a bodybuilder as well before making it big in Hollywood. Graham had an option of choosing football after his bodybuilding laurels, but he decided to try out wrestling instead.
