Keep in mind that at the time none of us knew Hogan was waiting in the wings! He had yet to make his t.v. return so that made this outcome even more surprising.

@bumblebeemoi1 The IronSheik's reign was always destined to be brusque. Rumour, and history, has it that Hulk Hogan was already primed to be the new star of the WWE. Bob Backlund, ever the traditionalist, and an excellent technical wrestler at that, refused to lose the championship to anyone who wasn't a legitimate wrestler. That obviously included Hogan who was a bodybuilder. He therefore put over the iron shiek, who would in turn put over Hogan. WWE was moving away from 'wrestling' by now.

@aitraining I read it. Some great inside stories in there. I wish they had let Graham turn face like he wanted. But as well all know, Backlund was Vince Sr's boy.
