In Reply to: DID I MENTION BOB BACKLUND RULES????? posted by TexasJediPimp on February 06, 2002 at 13:00:10:
: I should know I met him at a WWF event a few years back and the guy just kept giving my friends and I free stuff, autographed pics and other stuff. Not to mention his political views are pretty on point. As far as that shootfighting crap some guy posted earlier, WHO CARES. So what if he got his ass kicked. It happens to ALL of us at least once.
: The Darkside has spoken.
..The UWFi was pretty fucking stiff. (So much that Bravo U.K promoted it as legitimate athletic compition rather than the "Men in spandex" shit it did with ECW.) So if all Backlund did was get knocked out quickly then he did pretty f'n well considering his age and lack of experience in that style of bout (At least he didn't run back to the dressing room in fear or beg the referee to "tell him the rules.")
Also I loved it when Backlund "Snapped" in '93. That was awesome.
