>>21372224>take the belt off hulk hogan 1.0>give it to dean malenko 1.0the absolute state of vince sr
>>21372466backlund was a huge draw and a massive success though
>>21372564Back when boomers would pop for a hip toss
>>21372570now a crowd of fat neckbeards will clap for 1 second when someone falls 20 feet onto their neck before going back to looking at their phones.
>>21372570>>21372564Billy knew he was a transitional champ as the WWF always had long reigning face champions and heel transitional champ before going to a new face. Billy wanted to turn face and stay champ but Vince Sr already promised Bob the belt and didnt wanna go back on his word while Billy seethed even if he was the better choice. why Bob reigned so long though I will never know
Putting the belt on Backlund is maybe the first time a McMahon made a retarded booking decision and smashed over his chosen guy, instead of going with the guy who was obviously better for business in Superstar.Backlund is the original Roman Reigns.
>>21372763This comparison literally makes no sense because as stated already in this thread, Backlund was a massive draw and a huge success that sold out all of the major arenas, it was really only towards the end that the audience became tired of him.
>>21372608>>21372763There's an old story about Vince Sr. and Gorilla Monsoon going out to dinner (pre-backlund becoming champ) where Monsoon tells Vince Sr. he'll never be able to get Backlund over and Vince Sr. took that as a personal challenge

>>21372570That 1 hip toss had more weight to it and dimes than your 2000x flips tranny lol
>>21372564Bob was a shoot badass but I just cant get over how geeky he looks. What a weird choice for your champion but I guess it worked
