139. Luke Graham

As one of the kayfabe members of the Graham family, “Crazy” Luke Graham parlayed his bleached blonde locks and wild eyes to a multitude of championships across the United States. One of those titles was the WWWF World Tag Team strap, of which he is one half of the first recognized co-holders of. Graham did the wild man gimmick very well, but his wrestling ability was not exactly masked and he could do whatever was required of him in the ring.
