He's a bitter old man who's jealous of Jericho's success and fame.

I think Jericho was upset and felt that people like Billy Graham were going on the news after the Benoit tragedy simply for self promotion.

he says in the interview that he's not a hasbeen attention seeker yet he took the time to make a video of himself reading horrible poetry? regardless I would love for him to see Jericho in person and try to 'Rip him limb form limb' as his old ass probably couldn't rip the pamphlet about his arthritis medication in half.

Empty threats...although it would be awesome if Jericho gets him charged and slapped with a restraining order...just for kicks

And I still feel that while Superstar does himself no favours at time, I feel for him. And Jericho did make a dick comment.

well, plenty of people use youtube for sending messages to other people. it's not unheard of. for every 1 billy graham, there are 1,000 people that no one has ever heard of posting their opinions that no one else cares about, just to get some attention. i dunno, he doesn't come off here like he feels entitled to any special attention. he's just making his point.

through horrible poetry. and even worse delivery.

Superstar Billy Graham is a legend! Jericho is just another who followed in his footsteps. Hogan, Ventura, and pretty much every other wrestler in the past 30 years were influenced by this man. He deserves to have his say.

So Jericho may or may not have made some not so nice comments about Billy Graham. Like Graham, Jericho's entitled to his opinion and can state it any way he pleases.

Graham IS a has been. He's nowhere near relevant in today's wrestling society. Hogan is still relevant. To an extent, Bret Hart is relevant. Graham is a nobody these days.

While I understand he's upset about the comment, going on youtube and making an idiot out of yourself by reading a horribly contructed poem or short story or whatever it was, all the while threatening someone because they hurt your feelings, is not the way to go about things, either.

Not to mention, if this was the first time Graham was upset or made a big deal about something, I'd probably shurg it off. But this guy has time and time again tried to shine the spotlight on himself, like asking out of the HOF because Abdullah got in despite never wrestling for WWE. Way to take a piss on the all the other legends who have been honored despite never working for Vince.

His wiki quoted him as saying "blood thirsy.." and yadda yadda. There's probably more reason for it, but I'm too lazy to actually find an article.

And it doesn't matter what his reasoning is, he's being a fucking baby. When Graham got inducted, he got the whole shebang. They kissed his ass nad made him a DVD, published his book and put his face out there as the guy who's influences live on today. What more does he want?

The fact WWE apparently rescinded the contract offer to this indy guy when they found out he had Hep C doesn't really help. Especially with Hep C being what will most likely eventually kill Billy Graham.>

I really can't come on this board anymore because the disrespect being shown towards Superstar Billy Graham........one of the greatest and without a doubt the most influencial wrestler in the history of the business, is pathetic. Graham might only have a year to live and all you idiots on here can do is call him a has-been. Well all has-been means is he HAS BEEN to the top and he HAS done something, unlike most of you! Instead you talke the side of Chris Jericho, a guy who is completely overated and who punches female fans. PATHETIC!

Billy Graham is in fact a has been. He has countless times made huge fusses, justified or not, over topics to recieve attention and spotlight. I wish him well in his health. He is a legend. And I don't wish harm on anybody and his state of affairs is sad.

But considering he has but one life to live and its at the end of its rope, do you think going on delusional tirades on youtube directed at a wrestler who just spole his opnion is the way to go? The guy was once one of the greatest ever. But all he's doing in tarnishing his legacy and making himself irrelevant.

I'm not taking anyone's side. Jericho has a right to his opinion on matters, as does Graham the right to respond. But do you condone an old man going on youtube and, by rambling violent threats and wishing someone to rot in hell, making himself out to be an idiot? I don't. He didn't like what Jericho had to say. Fine. But if he's going to respond, at least show some intelligence and respond in a contstructive manner, rather than post a video of yourself looking like a complete tool.
