Sad news. He was a true pioneer in the business. His reign at the top of the WWWF was way too short, he should have switched babyface and went on a long run as Champion. I remember Billy Graham as the manager of Don Muraco, that was my introduction to him. In the 90's, I kept hearing how he was so innovative, one of the best talkers, and how he influenced so many wrestlers. In the 2000s, when the WWE put out the DVD on him, that was my first time ever seeing any of his matches and promos (not related to him being The Rock's managers - the first Rock, not Dwyane...), I was instantly hooked. Since then, I've gone back and watched as many matches as I could find. Though, he's not the greatest wrestler in the world, he was definitely entertaining in the ring. And for a big guy, he really bumped his ass off for the babyfaces he went against. I wonder what a match would have looked like of him against a prime Hulk Hogan in 1983 or 1984. Had he been given the long reign as champion; he could have been the guy to pass the torch to Hogan. I could see him as the babyface Champion in 1982 and 1983, befriending the returning Hogan, only to grow jealous of the fans love for Hogan and the 24" pythons. After a short while, Superstar turns on Hogan and attacks him which sets up a big showdown at MSG where Hogan beats Superstar for the WWF title. It would have been interesting to see. RIP Superstar.  |

This guy does excellent tributes Excuse my ignorance but at 1:46 in the video there's a smaller man in business attire sat between Hulk Hogan and Muhammad Ali, do you happen to know who that is? Resembles a young Joe Pesci to me, sorta uncanny really. Looks so familiar its driving me nuts. |

Looks so familiar its driving me nuts. that is Liberace, once one of the world’s most famous entertainers, who was a guest at Wrestlemania 1. i can see the resemblance you speak of though. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberace |
