WWE legend Billy Graham has died aged 79 after battling a 'myriad of health issues' while on life support.
Graham had been in the hospital for a number of months dealing with a 'myriad of very serious health issues' and had been in the ICU for many weeks, according to a GoFundMe page set up to help him and his family.
Graham died Wednesday after being taken off life support with his wife and daughter by his side, his family told TMZ.
16-time World Champion Ric Flair first appeared to break the news on Twitter Wednesday night, as he posted: 'The Superstar Billy Graham Just Left Us THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INFLUENCE On My Career!'
The WWE Hall-of-Famer hospitalized in January with an infection in his ears that spread to his ear bones and skull.
He was also reportedly battling a number of other health issues, including acute kidney failure, congestive heart failure, diabetes, and hearing loss.
Graham's wife, Valerie, had previously shared an update on her husband's health on his official Facebook page on May 15, revealing she had initially refused to take him off life support.
In an update, Valerie said, 'Please urgent prayers needed for my husband. The doctors wanted to remove him from life support tonight. I refused.
'He's a fighter and his will is strong even if his body isn't. God is our hope.'
Prior to his storied wrestling career, Graham - born Eldridge Wayne Coleman - tried out for the Canadian Football League but rose to fame through an impressive bodybuilding career.
Beginning his wrestling career in 1969, Graham signed with various promotions before making his debut with the WWE - then known as the World Wide Wrestling Federation - in 1975.
By that time, his in-arena look became influential to many of the most popular wrestlers of the time - including Austin Idol, Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair.
When wrestling surged in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, wrestlers such as Steve Austin and Triple H began adopting his look and mannerisms.
Over the course of his WWE career, he won the WWWF World Heavyweight Championship once back in 1977.
Graham was inducted alongside Ventura and Sgt. Slaughter in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2004.

At 40, Franz Kafka, who never married and had no children, was walking through a park one day in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.
Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life.
During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.
"It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.
A year later Kafka died.
Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."
Embrace change. It's inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection.
