Timeline
James Grady Johnson (February 5, 1940 – June 23, 2006) was an American professional wrestler, best known by his ring name, "Crazy" Luke Graham.
As Luke Graham, Johnson was part of the Graham family, a stable of wrestlers.
All members were billed as kayfabe brothers.
He worked extensively for various National Wrestling Alliance territories as well as the World Wide Wrestling Federation, where he was a three-time tag-team champion and the inaugural WWWF World Tag Team Champion (alongside Tarzan Tyler).
Graham enjoyed most of his success for the Los Angeles territory in the mid to late 1960s.
For rest of the 1960s, he was a mid card performer for Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association (AWA) out of Minneapolis.
Failing to find any mainstream success he departed AWA for Vince McMahon's WWWF.
Johnson made his debut in 1961 in National Wrestling Alliance's Mid-America territory.
He began his career as the Kayfabe brother of Dr. Jerry Graham after fellow wrestler Frankie Cain (The Great Mephisto) suggested that they resembled each other.
They began wrestling together in 1963 in Stampede Wrestling.
Starting that summer, Graham would go on to have a series of matches against Chief Big Heart.
Beginning in 1964 he started wrestling for the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) with Jerry Graham.
They won the WWWF United States Tag Team Championship from Don McClarity and Argentina Apollo, holding it for eight months, before losing the belts to another heel tagteam, Gene Kiniski and Waldo Von Erich.
It was during this time that he became known as "Crazy" Luke Graham.
During this period he held the WWA World Title once in 1965 which he won by defeating future WWE champion Pedro Morales at a house show on July 23.
He held the title for 86 days before losing it.
Graham left the Northeast territory after the loss and returned to the WWWF as a singles wrestler from 1966-1969; feuding with Miguel Perez, Antonio Pugliese and Bruno Sammartino.
He fought in Florida as El Lobo in 1970.
After leaving the AWA, Luke returned to WWWF and had a brief run with Tarzan Tyler as the inaugural WWWF Tag Team Champions in 1971.
One story was that the team allegedly defeated Dick the Bruiser and The Sheik for the belts, however, no record of any match between the two teams has ever been documented.
The other story is that they won it from Bepo and Geeto Mongol.
He and Tyler also went on to win the WWF International Tagteam Championship in November 1971 from Bepo and Geeto Mongol.
They lost it back to the Mongols after a month.
After losing the title he again left WWWF and went to on to wrestle in the Georgia territory.
In 1974, he was the United States Champion in the Pacific Northeast.
After that he left for Georgia Championship Wrestling where he won the NWA Georgia Heavyweight championship in a tournament on April 20.
In 1978, Graham return to the WWWF this time being managed by The Grand Wizard.
