Match #9 Apr. 30, 1977, Bruno Sammartino vs. 'Superstar' Billy Graham, WWWF Title

WWWF Champion Bruno Sammartino making his third appearance here as he takes on the very arrogant, 'Superstar' Billy Graham. These two go back and forth with each other with various tests of strength to see who can gain the advantage. The match doesn't get a clear advantage for someone until Graham gets busted open and Sammartino tries to capitalize on it. Unfortunately for him, he would not walk away the victor, as Graham rolls up Sammartino and uses the ropes to gain leverage to win the WWWF Championship. This would end the last title reign for Sammartino.

My Grade: C+
An okay match, but kind of short.
