"Superstar" Billy Graham continues to claim that he sold his WWE Hall of Fame ring because he's angry with Vince McMahon. He also vented to Slam Wrestling about his additional frustrations with WWE.

"I was certainly offended by being released from the company, by letting my contract expire," Graham said. "Not to be too braggadocios, but I consider myself to be an icon because of my influence on guys like Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura. So just dropping me from the employment contract was really a slap in the face.

"...The selling of the Hall of Fame ring is really more due to disappointment, as opposed to a vengeful act of animosity. And to be discarded in such a blunt way with the excuse of budget cuts -- that doesn't sit well with me." To read the full interview, visit Slam Wrestling.

Powell's POV: Did WWE promise Graham that he would be paid for the rest of his life? If not, then he's acting irrationally. There are plenty of people who have great careers in other walks of life and are not paid a day longer than they are employed by the companies they worked for. Perhaps those people have pension plans and it's a shame that WWE doesn't offer pension plans to its wrestlers, but I think Graham expects a lot from a company he's had many ups and downs with over the years.
