I was just looking at Survivor Series 1994 and, in particually, the WWF Championship victory of Mr. Bob Backlund.
Now, I think Bob was great in his crazy old man role and I think he could have had a decent WWF Championship run. However, it was of course cut short days later by Diesel.
My question is did the WWF have longer plans for Bob to hold on to the belt for a period of time before dropping it to whomever or was he always planned to lose it quickly? I kinda doubt it as I think that the clique was probably involved in this.
Can anyone help?
