[3] They had popular feuds with teams such as the Fabulous Kangaroos, the Bastien Brothers, Mark Lewin and Don Curtis, and Antonino Rocca and Miguel Pérez.

He wrestled in tag team matches with his son, Mike Graham, until 1977, when he retired from the ring due to health problems.

[8] In the fall of 1968, Graham was lacing his boots in the locker room when a 75-lb steel window fell on his head, detaching both of his retinas and causing him an injury that required three hundred stitches.

According to Jim Wilson in his book Chokehold, Graham's eyesight was poor because of blade jobs, and because he needed surgery to correct the problem and could not afford the money, he had some wrestlers tamper with the window in order to pass it off as though it was the responsibility of the building.

[3] Graham made contributions to a number of charitable causes, as chief of the Florida Boys and Girls Ranch Villa.

[5] Graham remained as the promoter in Florida until January 21, 1985, when he committed suicide by multiple gunshots after a lifelong battle with alcoholism and depression.

[10] He was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 29, 2008, by Dusty Rhodes, while his son, Mike Graham, accepted the honor on behalf of his father.
