The Eddie Graham Memorial Show was an annual professional wrestling event held between 1987 and 1988 as a tribute to wrestler Eddie Graham. The first show was held by Championship Wrestling from Florida in 1987, shortly before it merged with Jim Crockett Promotions, and by Mike Graham under the Florida Championship Wrestling banner the following year. The latter show was much larger than the previous one and held as an interpromotional supercard including the American Wrestling Association and World Class Championship Wrestling, most notably, featuring a "champion vs. champion" match between WCCW Heavyweight Champion Kerry von Erich and AWA World Heavyweight Champion Jerry "The King" Lawler in the main event.
