Stick around. WWE has been in business for a very long time now and there have been so many people coming through the ropes at one point or another. A lot of them don’t make much of an impact but there are some who feel like they have been around forever. WWE likes to take care of some of those wrestlers and that seems to be the case again with one of its all time legends.

Former WWE Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Superstar Billy Graham has announced that he has signed a new five year “nostalgia contract” with WWE. There were no details released, though WWE usually signs wrestlers such as Graham to Legends contracts, which may be what Graham means. Graham thanked Vince McMahon for the opportunity and says he hopes it will be profitable for both sides.

Graham is certainly a legend. Check out some of his time in the ring:

Opinion: This is quite the surprise, as Graham and WWE have not had the greatest relationship over the years. That being said, Graham is certainly a legend and one of the biggest names in the history of the company. It makes sense for WWE to want to have him around in some capacity, even if it is under what is likely a Legends deal. Either way, it is nice to have Graham back in the fold, as surprising as it may be.

What do you think of the deal? What could Graham do for WWE? Let us know in the comments below.
