Hall of Famer “Superstar” Billy Graham criticized WWE for considering having a “145 pound WWE Champion” and called the whole thing a “joke.”
“I would love to see Kofi at 145 pounds put his newly won WWE belt on the line against Brock Lesner, great logistics, 1 man being out-weighed by a good 135 pounds, a total joke this thing is,” Graham wrote.
Graham, who held the WWF Heavyweight Championship for 296 days from 1977 – 1978, congratulated Kingston for winning the title, however had some strange advice.
“My man, I urge you to start doing some steroids and add about 50 pounds of solid muscle to your championship body,” Graham wrote on Facebook. “Vince wont care, honestly. Actually he would be quite pleased with the muscular transformation, as I predict that you young man will have the longest run as WWE champ in modern-day history.”
It’s not clear if Graham is joking or not, however steroids are prohibited by the WWE Wellness Policy. Graham, who abused steroids for two decades, lectured athletes in the past about the danger of steroids. His own steroid use resulted in him becoming sterile, needing both of his hips replaced and one of his ankle joints to be fused.
Graham also advised Kingston to study his old legendary promos.
“The final suggestion, is to get all of my promo material together that you can find in the WWE’s vast library and study my promos,” Graham wrote. “You must be an entertainer as well as a wrestler my man and best of luck with your run !!!”

Kofi Kingston…. My Advice
I am sure Vince will sit Kofi down and say, ” Now Kofi, you listen to every word the Superstar has to say about your run as the first African born WWE World Heavyweight Champion.” Congratulations to Kofi for winning the most important Title in pro wrestling history….sorry you NWA guys…. Notice the word ” Heavyweight ” in his Title…so my man, I urge you to start doing some steroids and add about 50 pounds of solid muscle to your championship body. Vince wont care, honestly. Actually he would be quite pleased with the muscular transformation, as I predict that you young man will have the longest run as WWE champ in modern-day history. Then in just a short time while you are red hot and the fans are celebrating your win, your 2 former partners in crime, E and Woods get jealous and turn on you. In my day there would be some blood in that double cross on you but God forbid….not now. You then have Daniel Bryan for rematches and your two former partners as opponents. The final suggestion, is to get all of my promo material together that you can find in the WWE’s vast library and study my promos. You must be an entertainer as well as a wrestler my man and best of luck with your run !!! S.B.G.
