May 23, 1987 WWF Superstars of Wrestling

The May 23, 1987 Edition of WWF Superstars of Wrestling is a Professional wrestling television show of World Wrestling Federation, which took place on May 12, 1987 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

The major development centered on efforts by former WWF World Heavyweight Champion Superstar Billy Graham to make a return to wrestling after several years away. His real-life health issues, alluded to in this and segments that would air in following weeks, had prevented a return a year earlier, and these segments would focus mostly on his training and rehabilitation efforts.
