WRESTLER OF THE DAY: BOB BACKLUND


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

 

KUNG FU GRAHAM~! was the drizzling shits. It was more fun picking out lumberjacks who Bob could have a better match with than the match itself.

Geez, I never realized how much he looked like Baron Von Raschke during this period.  Even The Superstar couldn't pull off a monocle with such panache.

When I look at Backlund I see the template for Hogan and Cena in terms of character.  Good American boy who works hard, nice guy, and a positive role model.

 

Yeah but like Cena, Bob was more fun to watch when he was a heel.

Cena has yet to go full heel and there is one post-WM promo that gives you an indication of how good Cena could be in that role.

 

 

Bob as a heel was just great.  I loved his work as a kid just getting into the WWE and later on as a heel.  Just a great wrestler and entertainer.
