If the subject is Wrestlemania and MSG, why not pick Bret/Owen from X? I know Sheik/Backlund was historical for the finish, but Bret/Owen was a classic.

[Guest Choken One]

Isnt Backlund due for another Apperence by now?

 

When was the last time we saw him?

 

Wasn't they headed towards that Angle is Backlunds son angle or something?

[Guest Lil Naitch]

"GRAB THE ARM!"

lol

Bruno Sammartino's reign back about 20 years earlier lasted from 1963-1971

 

Holy shit!

Funny how Hogan fought the Shiek and won the title from him because Backlund couldn't do the match = P

I think the funnier Hogan thing was that he was in a tournament in Japan and was scheduled to lose in the finals to Antonio Inoki...but Inoki got KO'd out of the ring and Hogan won by default.

Backlund was coaching Angle in 2000, but turned on him at Mania when he revealed he made the triple threat match for both titles.

Unless it's Montreal...Bret gets NO air time and LIKES it.

That was a pretty sweet reversal by Backlund. Not the backslide one, but the one before it.

[Guest HartFan86]

Good selling by Backlund...but I'm literally yawning sitting here in my seat.

 

And I've never seen this match, other then the finish.

 

Boring.

[Guest Eagan469]

Bob Backlund is my fucking hero

...I miss the Sheik's pointed-toed boots...

 

And anytime now a towel will come flying...there it went.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Blassie rules.

Backlund got a taste of his own move, the Crossface Chickenwing, from Angle for doing that.

[Guest Choken One]

Im digging this old school match here...

 

This is like Angle/Lesnar considering the time peoriod...

[Guest HartFan86]

Decent Confidential.

[Guest Lil Naitch]

Different time, different era HeartFan, although I agree with you.

[Guest papacita]

That finish sucked. I figured Backlund would've been in the hold a little longer before he threw the towel in.

[Guest HartFan86]

Jesus Christ...SLAMBALL IS STILL ON THE AIR? Who the fuck watches that show?

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Who knows?

[Guest HartFan86]

I appreciate and usually like the older WWWF-WWF stuff (Bruno), but Sheik is just boring.

[Guest Lil Naitch]

I don't. On to computer game for me now. Later all.

[Guest Kingpk]

One good thing came out of that, Backlund's AWESOME heel turn in 1995(?). Really good continuity there when Backlund snapped on Arnold and put the chickenwing on him.

[Guest HartFan86]

Before Survivor Series 1994.

[Guest Kingpk]

Right, right. I couldn't remember what year his matches with Bret was.

Thank Bret Hart for making that work then Kevin Nash and the kliq for stealing Bob's heat.

Survivor Series 1994.

 

 

That PPV sucked

[Guest Eagan469]

^ That PPV sucked

dude, it had Chuck Norris

[Lil' Bitch 0]

it had Chuck Norris

 

Okay, but overall it sucked. JJ getting kicked by Norris was hilarious.

[Guest JMA]

I didn't think the Sheik/Backlund match was boring. Sure, maybe compared to today's matches it could be seen as boring. But the match was crisp and clean (with no caffeine) It had a lot of psychology and no blown spots.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Shiek was a great heel, I miss that bald bastard!
