WWF - Bob Backlund - Wins World Wrestling Title

[uxbnkuribo]

just once i'd like for someone to give this speech after winning an election

"CAUSE I FEEL LIKE... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­D!"

[elhombregordo1]

I miss Todd Pettingale

[movietime49]

@elhombregordo1 he host wipe out

[Carlitonsp1]

At first it was funny, then it got creepy, but then it got funny again.

[kdreamland]

I don't know if it's just camera work or something, but that finger Mr Bob Backland holds up looks bigger than most guys weiners.

BTW, this is amazing. Bob Backlund cuts better promos than the WWE rooster today. He's fighting for something. I could just see him terrozing stars today after he beats them saying "I'm putting morality back into your life"

[liltd87]

he sounds like Piper and looks like Vince

[mindphreak4money]

I find it interesting, that Chris Jericho cuts a promo on an interview show talking about how CM Punk is stealing his "style", "promos", "vignettes", etc. When Chris Jericho OBVIOUSLY watched tapes of Bob Backlund's old "crazy-man" promos, and stole 90% of it, even down to the suits. Very few promos in "Sports Entertainment" are new and original. It's all been done before. The fans have to simply research back far enough to find the originators.

3-time WWE Champion.

[TheeBurchill]

I definitely don't want Bob Backlund pasteurizing and homogenizing me. If I know anything in life, that's it

[BoukenCrimson]

The Miz 20 years from now.

[tameron1000]

Bob Backlund...OOPS! i mean Mr. Backlund had me laughing so hard i started to cried...and WHAT THE FUCK! is he talking about? Mr. Backlund needs to make a comeback because that crazy man gimmick was GOLD..."I'm your CHAMPION!!!" and when he got serious and "I feel like GOD!" is my favorite part of the video..."moreality" is a good memorable quote as well LOL!

[jasonholden]

@movietime49 mate, it's fake. What am I supposed to take from it?

[jasonholden]

he has great teeth

[aromer9]

That was awesome!!! Good promo Mr. Backlund. haha. dang.

[weirds0up]

Is it just me, or does Backlund look like the Miz?

[edwinramos25]

@weirds0up he's more like the Miz's Father

[UltimateSenshi]

Bob Backlund... The original Straight Edge Superstar!!

[doubleh2005]

Bob Backlund was nothing but a piece of garbage. So fucking boring on promos and he is nothing but a no good psychopath!!!! Fuck you Backlund!!!!

[SSVCloud]

@doubleh2005 Still real to you, eh?

[southwardwill]

He's a fucking psycho...tremendous

[mitchkramah]

can the wwe PLEASE bring back the classic golden eagle title belt!? the ridiculous monstrosity that is the wwe title looks more like something that flava-flav would hang from his neck then a title belt

[LSF45]

Sports Education > Sports Entertainment.

[skinhead5]

Bob Backland spoke extemporaneousness in his promos.

He uplifted and enthrawled the plebeians of Society with his extensive and voluminous vocabulary.

[RodCeb1979]

It's so weird have good his promos were when back in the days We was just a smiling face when he was champion for so long Never said a word Just smile When he returned and turned heel He came out with this crazy awesome promos out of nowhere 

[BlingToYoRing]

how old was he here?

[AnEternalEnigma]

@BlingToYoRing 45

[KakashiBallZ]

If Backlund and Stone Cold clashed, it would tear space-time

[wwetnaful]

Bob Backlund- "I AM YOUR CHAMPIIIIIIIOOOOOOONNNN!!!!!"

Me- Yay the champion of the new generation is crazy and senile

[jfleming23]

cause i fee l like godddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dddddddddddd!!!

[chupacbrasTV]

I read the reason they emphasized he had never lost the title was some sort of swipe against Hogan, whom had signed with WCW. 

[Fanik10]

I feel the need to drink some milk

[dciguy01]

Why did Backlund drop the title so quickly after he won it?

[crackmonster99]

I would've liked to see Backlund fight Roddy Piper for the title.

[Carlitonsp1]

Jesus that was Creepy, and to think he tried to run for congress after this.

[Sychodave0989]

Can you believe this guy used to be a clean cut young man with some sanity?

[WWFanHQ]

LOOKS LIKE THE MIZ WHEN ACTS CRAZY

[Shawn0HBK0Michales]

Gotta tell, in some moments Bob looked like Cena... wait... OH SHI--

[JonasDygd]

@Shawn0HBK0Michales Actually I think he looks more like The Miz

[Master11119]

That is an absolutely brilliant promo.

[SuperStrik9]

Vids like this prove that Backlund could cut a damn good promo. Looking back I wish they let him show half this much charisma and emotion when he was a face back in the late 70s early 80s.

[ShutUpYouMong]

Look at that. He's set up to have a monster heel run with the belt...and then gives it up hours later to the most boring champ ever. 'Vince is a genius' my arse.

[wwedude1987]

woahhhh nice! lol

[itdoesntmatter11223]

bob backlund for hall of fame

[DGENERATIONEXUS]

I would have much rather seen crazy heel Backlund have a year long title reign instead of what we got...the year long babyface Diesel reign. 95 was such a brutal year to be a WWF fan.

[mmmikeyxx]

@DGENERATIONEXUS Agreed 1000%.

[RyanPelley1]

@DGENERATIONEXUS

Great feuds like Diesel - Mabel, Bret - Yankem, LT - Bam Bam.... It's sad that Barry Horowitz vs. Skip was one of the most entertaining feuds of 1995.

[OneDownServer]

@DGENERATIONEXUS yeah they screwed Backlund. I would have scripted Backlund to murder Diesel.

[leonardswhite]

thanks for uploading the Backlund stuff....these are priceless!!

[PaulSebert]

A shame they only kept the belt on Backlund for a few days. His crazy heal character was amazing.

[cloudlocke]

@PaulSebert Totally agree. And worse, they made his loss a total squash match. Right after he goes on a crazy run, beats the champ on a PPV. What gives??
