Mike Tyson meets Superstar Billy Graham at American Icon Autographs

Mike Tyson meets Superstar Billy Graham during American Icon Autographs signing at WrestleReunion 6 in Los Angeles on January 29, 2012. This was a very powerful and emotional meeting. I'm so glad that our cameras were on hand to catch this moment. Mike was signing some our our mail order items as well as some very cool Leaf Trading Cards coming out soon.

[@Keranu]

Billy is like a dog, he's overwhelmed with joy to be around people. Every time I see him with someone, he's constantly holding their hand and arm together.

👴🏻🥃 THE WIT OF THE ALGONQUIN ROUND TABLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHERE’S GEORGE S. KAUFMAN AT?

[@krlm2280]

Only Superstar Billy Graham and the late great Bruno Sammartino can bring the kid out of Mike Tyson

[@general5886]

"I LOVE YA BROTHA!" : SUPERSTAR "THANK YOU..." : MIKE TYSON

[@tonyd7601]

Big Mike throwing the knowledge, with all he's accomplished he's a fan like all of us.

[@TheBoomer418]

Mike is a mark when it comes to pro wrestling. iron mike is a true wrestling fan.

[@oldschoolfan420]

Yes he is. What is impressive is that he names old school wrestlers like Don Leo Jonathan and not stone cold or John Cena.

[@TheBoomer418]

+oldschoolfan420 mike luvs his old school wrestling. like jim ross said on legends of wrestling put mike o celebrity jeopardy and one of the Catergories is 70s wwwf wrestling. Mike will clean slate it. he a mark on superstar Billy graham and Bruno

[@inhometraineroakville1174]

Watching these two guys together is great! One wrestling legend and one boxing legend. Awesome!

[@jamesharden8242]

What a great clip. Superstar is real deal.

[@cvz14]

Superstar is a humble guy . Met him at a medical office I worked at a few times Mike is like back up man you talking crazy 🤣🤣

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

I love Super Star Billy Graham,there's never no lying in him and what a charismatic performer he was..Without Billy Hulk or the Ultimate Warrior or Jesses the Body never would have been who they were

[@muitobonito113]

I am only 40 and I remember Superstar Billy Graham.Tyson is older than me so he should remember well.

[@1980bwc]

When all else is gone, charisma never leaves. Superstar came to life here, and his mind transported back to the 70's. It was beautiful to see. Priceless!

[@MrKARLHUNGUS1962]

We only had 6 or 7 channels on our TV back in the 70s.Boys either were watching wrestling or cartoons on saturday mornings.You can tell mike watched wrestling from the old timers names he's dropping.

[@adamdesanti6713]

Two absolute legends and pioneers of their respective fields.

[@RushyDaRabbit]

Thanks for the upload. It's a beautiful thing.. God bless Superstar Billy Graham and Iron Mike Tyson.

[@theiconicmr.perfect7499]

Self praise? All Graham did was praise Tyson! He humbled Tyson - esp. with the Ali reference. Plus Graham was in his Superstar character/preacher mode, so "over the top" is an understatement. I think Tyson was more humbled than annoyed. He was like a child, being praised by one of HIS idols. Not the way we ever see Mike Tyson.

[@paul-egz4264]

Mike was starstruck

[@asmundukkelberg8741]

Superstar Billy Graham is someone very rare: He is a genuinely eccentric wrestler. In a sport full of posers, he is colorful on the outside and the inside.

[@domamania]

I cant believe the amount of respect that Grahm has for Sammartino.

[@jimmorrison3927]

bruno was and always will be the living legend...though superstar is my all time favorite wrestler...

[@rosesflowers5361]

This was nice I 💚 Mike Tyson and this "brotha man 🤣 he had a good energy that had a lot of love in his 💙 😇

[@HellhammerSS]

The only person to make Mike Tyson back away was SBG's non stop retoric.

[@MrGrxxx123]

2 Legendary legends!

[@Gootothesecond]

"I kick the shit outta Brisco!" You can tell Mike's a fan, this is what professional wrestling does to people, not "sports entertainment."

[@LaGruesa76]

I love this my favorite fighter in the whole world!

[@officialjbbeverley]

Good to see Tyson and Graham in such good spirits. Nice video. Thanks for posting.

[@mfbinc]

why not? bruno deserves respect from everyone...

[@818bulldog4]

Love it!!!!

[@Gootothesecond]

And that's the thing, no one ever stops being a fan of pro wrestling. I don't understand why they can't realize that in the industry today. Let a guy cut his own promos, let the wrestlers wrestle their own matches and people will watch again and love it.

[@jameskelly5672]

2 of ofy favorites.

[@Chris-vs7jz]

Mike is very intelligent. Make no mistake about it

[@shinzocan1]

Not a word was clearly, spoken this shoot.......opiates are a helluva drug........!!!

[@jimmadonna1436]

There an epidemic where I live! People who were solid have fallen OFF!

[@unhombrelobo]

Want to play a fun drinking game? Take a drink every time you hear the word "brotha."

[@unhombrelobo]

+marv219 "listen here brotha...let me tell you brotha....bruno sanmartino brotha....living legend brotha, we are gentleman brotha" hahaha

[@TheRagev3]

+unhombrelobo He was the first say it out of any wrestler including Hulk Hogan who stole his gimmick. So he can say it as much as he wants, that's his thing.

[@johnwilburn]

Andre the Giant couldn't hang with that one.

[@jimmorrison3927]

He's also the first person to ever call his arms "guns" and pythons...a entire legion of wrestlers have copied him...they just can't do it nearly as good as he did.

[@davidaguila6563]

S Billy Graham was the original Showboat

[@TheBoomer418]

Superstar the First Baddest Man on the planet

[@captainh3831]

Kudos to Mike for maintaining his composure while this lunatic rambled on endlessly.

[@BeeBumper]

Your lack of knowledge is showing. Graham is a legend hardly a lunatic, actually one of sanest most honest humble man around. I mean who the fuck can understand what Mike is saying here anyway. I'd like a transcript if you state you can understand him.

[@Kfowlkes09]

Lmao go watch one of his promos. This is classic Graham.

[@phrasesinner]

Shit, look at Iron Mike name check. And he’s hitting WWWF, NWA & the AWA.

[@joseaguila373]

I wish I could meet billy graham Him and Bruno SAMMARTINO where my Idols

[@CLewey44]

Lol, Sunny sitting there like.."uhhh"

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

Superstar can't turn it down.Like asking a Lion in Africa to hone it down when hunting down a herd of Gazelles

[@koghz]

Tyson in his prime vs. Ali in his prime, that would be the best in time!

[@jimmorrison3927]

superstar was being very polite in that sense..anyone that knows anything about boxing, knows that ali in his prime would have made tyson look like an amateur...there are guys that ali whooped, that would have killed tyson...sonny liston would have murdered tyson...tyson couldn't beat holyfield, how in the hell would he have beat an in his prime george foreman?

[@natkingcurrieiv1318]

GREAT STUFF!...Subscribed..

[@theiconicmr.perfect7499]

Really? 47 year old boxer would beat a 72 year old retired wrestler who can barely walk? Ya know, I think you're right. What a genius you are for hypothesizing that. Look up videos of Graham when HE was 47, or better yet, in his prime, and tell me who would whip who.

[@bigconan]

Mr. Perfect..with all due respect...graham was big strong dude...but he was an actor...he was a pro wrestler, which is just acting, while play fighting...while tyson was a real fighter...it wouldn't even be close.

[@jimmorrison3927]

superstar got very emotional..which actually got me emotional watching it...when he said how they have both been hell. which is very true...superstar went through a very dark period in his life..so did mike...

[@neohubris]

Tyson knows a lot about pro-wrestling

[@jethyy]

Graham talks to Tyson like he's a child

[@Kfowlkes09]

Exactly. Mike was a child when he watched Grahama and Graham knew this. Plus that was how wrestlers kept kayfabe back then. Graham was "in character" the whole time.

[@NightWarriorAlive]

Tyson has been to the mountain top and he has seen the prophet SUPERSTAR- amen brotha!! (double-bicep pose)

[@tornmask1]

correction Sir Tyson it was channel 41 "Lucha Libre Profesional" ev'ry Sat. 6pm & channel 47 was "NWA Florida Wrestling" ev'ry Wed. 10pm, cheers!

[@sadpuppy413]

Super star Billy Graham Mike Tyson Mil Mascaras

[@spottss]

Billy was very over the top. But he definately must have felt that deep connection with Tyson

[@jimmorrison3927]

superstar is always over the top..haha...but he was very genuine..I firmly believe he would have told tyson the same thing, whether the cameras were there or not..

[@theiconicmr.perfect7499]

if you had any "glory days" to talk about, maybe you would too.

[@Riv3r69]

Al Snow and Mike Tyson have something in common. they both have "HELP ME" written all over their face. lol poor mike

[@kidsalami6367]

think he's kissing Mikes ass enough

[@Elvis68spec]

Good stuff!

[@ajsimms8457]

I love Billy but he reminds me of that old drunk guy in a bar sitting next to you that starts telling you how much he respects you and thinks your awesome and keeps touching you and making you feel really weird.

[@beewardrobe]

It looks like Graham crossed the line with Tyson when he said Tyson would have beat Muhammad Ali and is greater than him.

[@sugarlanskee8]

Jive is paint on----And "Don Leo Jonathan" goes way, way back. Musta been a channel that replayed all this stuff---back in Brooklyn. Superstar B/G was a true superstar----huge and meaner than mean.

[@TroyandMilva]

Tyson knows old school wrestling!

[@marktarr4664]

I have seen the light! Where the the hell is James Brown?

[@domamania]

well exactly that my point, but superstar respect bruno to the next level, which i cant believe it in a good way. :)

[@fffjfjfjfjf]

Best comment ever

[@4EyedAnimation]

brother

[@Kgio-2112]

ha, lucha libre. they had either all star or championship wrestling episode on one or 2 days before it was on ch 9 here in NY. I am going back a ways, so I can't remember what night. I know it was late, like 11:30 pm or roundabout

[@ahumanjustbeing2466]

[@paulyricca3881]

👴🏻🥃 THE ALGONQUIN ROUND TABLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

[@forlife69]

I think mike found him annoying after a bit

[@MrShaqwon]

u don't know to much about classic wrestlers thats how super star Billy Graham talks thats his word brotha

[@johnwesley7531]

Iron Mike might come across as a well informed fan in here. But when he did that press conference in 1998 with the hottest star in wrestling's history, Stone Cold Steve Austin, he called him "Cold Stone".

[@newbritishprowrestling1111]

Slip of the tongue.

[@handsolo1209]

Tyson was never in the ring with Hulk Hogan in 1998.

[@wpgjets4life]

Probably because Mike Tyson was busy doing other things. Tyson was definitely a hard core wrestling fan in the 70s and into the 80s. His childhood hero was Bruno Sammartino. In fact, when he was with DX in 1998, McMahon had asked him "who is your favorite wrestler?" expecting Tyson to answer "Austin" or HBK". Without hesitation Tyson responded "Bruno Sammartino" which angered McMahon, since the two had a falling out for 20 years.

[@DLR-ft8vl]

Were you listening? As a kid he was watching Georgia Championship Wrestling with Gordon Solie host. Featuring Bruno Sanmartino, Billy Graham, The Briscos, Ernie "The Cat" Ladd, Andre the Giant, Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson, Mil Mascaras. And you want to talk about "Stone Cold"???

[@handsolo1209]

D L R - Weirdos have some kind of obsession with making people like Bruno & Hogan less important than they actually were and promoting the wife beating piece of shit Austin as some kind of worldwide megastar. Bruno was huge for 20 years. So was Hogan. Of course they had a huge influence on wresting fans from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

[@guitarace82]

11:33 "Ok next in line please"

[@jamesstacks4451]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@princeali1786]

Billy Graham says Mike would knock out Ali and you saw Mike humbly NOT say or agree with Billy. Too much respect for the real Champ !!!! Mike also being very respectful to Billy Graham because you can only take only so much of the talking and praising and you the man BS… just shut up and let him sign what he came to sign. Ugh !

[@sugarlanskee8]

You are a true moshki-town, '87.

[@KEICRUMBIE]

BROTHER

[@MrMferg240]

bruno sammartino was a badass, very humble but if you wanted to test him, he would have destroyed you.

[@MrThedoc87]

superstar sounds drunk

[@deimossaetana1518]

WTF of All people Sunny is witnessing this 😂😂😂😂

[@paulyricca3881]

👴🏻🥃 THE ALGONQUIN ROUND TABLE. WHERE’S THE WIT OF HARPO MARX AT?

[@decacards5250]

Two legends.

[@icecubes76]

LMAO!! Great comment and very true..love it

[@markthomas8808]

Whoops. I meant 2:20. I paused as they were doing the boxing pose. Then I restarted. Now I'm paused AGAIN at 3:21. lol

[@grawakendream8980]

wow mike knows verne gagne, that's awesome. billy should have just talked to him instead of gone into shtick. but this was 2012, different time period kayfabe wise i guess. plus he seemed over excited to be around mike. billy did wrestle jack, but in a competitive match, it would not have been good for billy

[@Blackhawk6699]

cool video

[@jandafin]

LOL....Slow down Mike,Sunny don't go for chocolate.

[@getodachoppa1]

0:23 haha Mike's a Brisco fan and Billy tells him what he did to him.

[@thomasthetankengin7722]

6:16 Tyson's starting to get weirded out by this point lol

[@ozarkpipertony8396]

Ali was the GOAT.

[@Opheggie54]

Mike rembered channel 47! Wow

[@markthomas8808]

LMAO! I've only watched the first 2:10 so far, but this stuff is great!

[@paradox7743]

Would love to smoke an L & just listen to these 2 just trade stories about all kinds of shit... BROTHER!

[@bastardtubeuser]

Imagine if Bruce Lee and Schwarzenegger were there.

[@waynecreech]

thuper thar !

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

i'll tell you one thing *NO* one would want a real fight with Graham when he was younger.I'm not saying he would beat Tyson and i'm not saying he wouldn't either.

[@paul-egz4264]

That's ridiculous, Billy was a world class athlete and power lifter but mike was a silverback

[@sugarlanskee8]

it a complement.

[@protochris]

Cassius Clay would've mopped up Tyson.

[@marktarr4664]

They weren't gentlemen like you and me...? WTF!

[@shannonwilliams1941]

Brother brother brother brother brother 😂😂😂

[@paulyricca3881]

👴🏻🥃 WHAT IS THIS JUNK????

[@GreggF65]

Billy couldn’t wrestle !

[@johnlee7479]

Mike ….. blah blah wah wah blah Superstar ….. brother brother brother

[@ChrisG.Georgas]

Did they have Ego's ? lol

[@michaeltruthson6262]

Ok y'all fun fact y'all Mike Tyson co-opted the "Iron Mike" moniker from deceased world wrestling federation supertar "Iron Mike Sharpe "

[@robertcornelius3514]

Billy gets more "Mexican" the older he gets.

[@pledgestone]

Superstar making a fool out of himself. Terrible.

[@asmundukkelberg8741]

I disagree. Superstar is genuinely eccentric. He was a preacher in his youth, and the preacher mode comes out here.

[@lonewolftrucker99ky90]

A 30 year old Larry Holmes would have beat Tyson.

[@paul-egz4264]

Lolololololol.. when mike had everything working nobody would've beat him

[@nathangonzalez5477]

Paul-E G'z Larry would have beat him. There’s always excuses for Mike. Fact is he never beat anybody who as a fellow great Heavyweight.
