@carl22069 i would agree with you 100 percent , , the deceptive strenght is one of the reasons vince senior was into backlund someone on youtube , told me that backlund wasnt affriad to shoot on a wrestler looking to hijack the wwf title and bring it back to thier home promotion ,

[whythefamilyguy]

@JIMMYLINE that would have been a classic , even past his prime backlund played the best heel , and what do you say about bruno he is the living legend

Superb match! Watching Backlund in the ring is like watching butter melt on pancakes. And no that's not a weird analogy.

I don't get it. Orton high-tails it into the dressing room, and Backlund gets counted out? I must've missed something...
