Awesome.  I remember watching this on TV as a kid.

One of the greatest champions in WWF history. A total shame that he was replaced by the cartoon character on steroids, Hulk Hogan.

Were the kids allowed to rush the ring or was it spontaneous?

Wow does this bring back memories. I was at these TV Tapings at Hamburg, Pa this evening. I was sitting in the bleachers. It was crazy seeing all the kids rush the ring.

So this is where that clip came from in Backlund's return to the WWF from 1992 video. I always wondered what match that was when all the fans jumped in the ring. So funny. I wonder what Vince McMahon's reaction was when he saw all the fan sprint to the ring.
