Dr. Jerry Graham's brother was Eddie Graham. They wrestled tag team as the Graham Brothers and made some news in Madison Square Garden in a match against Antonino Rocco and Miguel Perez. Somehow during the bout things turned a little too real and deviated from the script.
Rocco smashed Jerry Graham's head into the turnbuckle and gashed his forehead open. The resulting blood was not vegetable dye but real.
The cops were called in to restore order as many of the largely Puerto Rican crowd was ready to riot.
