The November 14, 1987 Edition of WWF Superstars of Wrestling is a Professional wrestling television show of World Wrestling Federation, which took place on October 27, 1987 at the War Memorial in Syracuse, New York.
This episode was best known for being the last televised wrestling match with Superstar Billy Graham. Graham had attempted a comeback during 1987 and feuded heavily with Harley Race and Butch Reed during the late summer and early fall of 1987, but the toll on his body (due to legitimate injuries and other factors) was too much. To explain his in-ring retirement, a storyline within the existing Graham-Reed feud was created to have One Man Gang sneak attack Graham during a match with Reed and "reinjure" his hip (of which Graham had legitimate surgery on in 1986). During the post-match activity -- OMG repeatedly splashing a prone Graham while Reed and Slick held him down -- Don Muraco came to ringside to run the heels off, solidifying his face turn.
