: ..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.")
I will give him that - I was just disappointed as I'd hoped he would have given a better account of himself.
Berbeck - what a wuss! The boxers never did cut it in UWFi. I wish I'd videoed all the shows when they was on, but I was lucky enough to find the official video featuring Nobuhiko Takada on Amazon - no Albright, but it does feature Takada's classic encounter with Yamazaki (as well as the Berbeck shambles).
