Why the hell didn't Superstar Billy Graham ever sue Hulk Hogan?

[stro]

This Mizza stole EVERYTHING from Superstar.

24 inch pythons? Superstar was talking about them in the 70s. Using "brother" as a vocal tic? Superstar was doing it in the 70s. The tye dye gear and two tone facial hair? Superstar was doing it in the 80s. Hulk Hogan became the biggest star in wrestling (pre Rock) on straight up 100% swagger jacking Billy Graham in every fukking way. Even before Hulk was doing Hulkamania stuff, he had patterned most of of his moves and promos after Superstar. You can find late 70s/early 80s promos where he's doing the "tower of power too sweet to be sour" rap.

On top of all of that, Superstar had a better body even at the point where he could barely fukking move in the ring because his hips were dust than Hulk ever had. Let alone in the 70s when he was at his deca peak.

Superstar should be entitled to at least 40% of all of Hogan's earnings in the business.

Probably didn't want to be blackballed from the WWF.

The same dude who repeatedly sued Vince McMahon over 20+ years, accused him of injecting people with steroids and being a sexual predator, was too afraid to sue Hogan for fear of being blackballed? The same dude who was blackballed from the late 80s until the mid 2000s?

He was employed by the WWF during the height of Hulkamania. Steady paycheck is a good reason to keep your mouth shut.

Minus those years where he was in the WWF/JCP and Hogan was in the AWA stealing his shyt. Minus those DECADES where he was already blackballed and Hogan was still stealing his shyt to reinvent himself into the 21st century.

I get what you're saying, but ever body "borrowed" in wrestling. that shyt probably would not have gone over well.

I feel this is relevant (just replace "animation" with professional wrestling, and all of the examples with wrestlers):


Modern wrestling is pretty much equal parts Gorgeous George, Buddy Rogers, and Thunderbolt Patterson.

Superstar never got over vince sr. taking belt off him for bob backlund. Dude was dissapeared for years and hogan and jessie and others just took his place and filled that void. Hogan def channelled graham at the end with the tie die and shyt but that was paying homage id think. Hogan always said he wanted to be auperstar when he saw him.

Billy graham a legend and trendsetter but Whats he really gonna do? Andres daughter should aue big show i guess too? Dynamite gon sue benoit? No ideas original. Nothing new under the sun.

The Dynamite/Benoit thing is really creepy. He studied his mannerisms to the point he walked and swung a chair upside down just like dynamite.

[Berniewood Hogan]

SUPERSTAR MADE A FAUSTIAN BARGAIN, BROTHER! HE SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PROMISE THAT HIS IMAGE WOULD REMAIN ETERNAL IN WRESTLING, DUDE! BUT THE SWERVE WAS THAT HE WOULDN'T GET TO EMBODY THE IMAGE HIMSELF, MEAN GENE!

[Here Comes the Pain]

Hogan sharked ole man's whole style from his facial hair, the mannerisms, attire, on some aaron hall/r Kelly steeze

A lot of wrestlers think they slick tryna steal people's steeze.
