SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 My only surprise is that Bob Backlund placed above Stone Cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Na Backlund was on top for a nice long while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Remember, this list is skewed towards Madison Square Gardens main eventers. Backlund was heavyweight champion from 1978 to 1983. This was before VKM bought out his father and took things national, so the WW(W)F ran shows at the Garden a LOT more often back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Randy Orton's placement on this list is a complete and utter joke. I'd also like to know where Meltz's sudden flip flop on Backlund came from. You couldn't even get Meltz to admit there was anything positive about Backlund a few years ago and now he's a huge star? Ok...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Meltzer didn't pick the spots on the list. Look at the description. It was all done by mathematical formula, which happened to throw Mr. Backlund right to the top of the chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
