MR BOB Backlund the second longest reigning WWE HEAVYWEIGHT Champion of all times who then came back during the new era & became a 2 time WWE World HEAVYWEIGHT Champion MR BOB Backlund is a Living Legend & my personal Hero
If they had allowed him to show more character than a white meat face he'd be even MORE appreciated! I'm still not over him losing to Sheiky Baby... I was rooting for Snuka😂 well history showed I was wrong 😅
Uhhhh....no!!! Backlund didn't get personality until he came back in the 90s as a bitter psycho out for revenge. I don't actually know that this was a gimmick. I think Backlund was really pissed off because of the way he just got tossed to the side after he dropped the belt. In the 70s and 80s Backlund's promos were painful to watch. Then when he cried after Superstar destroyed the belt it really turned a lot of fans off.
Mr. Bob Backlund is one of my favorite wrestlers. I met him in 1994 he was very nice. He talked with my cousin and I for like fifteen minutes and took pictures with us. I wish they put him in WWE 2k25 as a playable character.
He might not have gotten all the fame and glory of hulk hogan. At least he has his body and health. Much respect Mr. Backland . I loved your character made me laugh through some tough times.
Kinda something when you see the contrast, Hogan can't even manage to get into a ring anymore due to all of his health problems and this is the guy who was world champion for years before him.
It's a shame that he is suffering from severe dementia. He was very careful about his diet and exercise. I think he took too many shots to the head while wrestling as well as playing college football.
He talked at my school when I was a kid and gave me a Roman style handshake on the forearm. Didn’t even hit me hard but I had a welt for the rest of the day 😂. Dude was literally made of iron.
Back in 1981 I saw Backlund vs Greg Valentine at a small arena in Morristown NJ. After the match all of us kids ran to ringside to get near Backlund. Backlund draped the old classic WWF belt over my ten year old shoulder. As a kid I loved Backlund. As an adult I understood his lack of personality and was impressed with his old time heel turn in 1994. They should have run that wave longer before having him drop the belt to Diesel. Interesting how it was Backlund who now had the personality and Diesel was the one lacking.
Athletically? Definitely!!! He was in tremendous shape and could really wrestle. Backlund's only issue was his lame personality and dull promos. In the ring he could do it all and he was extremely strong.
Definitely an inspiration to us gentlemen who are getting older, I mean, Mr.Backlund is definitely in shape, has put his health as a priority, and it shows, this video really has woken me up to the fact I am aging, I haven’t taken car of my body, but it’s high time to start…
I think Mr. Backlund found the fountain of youth. He looks great and can still do all those athletic things. I doubt many people in their 20’s can do that.
This was Bob after he stormed into Vince’s office in 2016 showing Vince he wasn’t too old to be Darren Young’s manager, obviously I just made that it but I’d totally believe that
@@AngryRantsAndStuff yes it is. Just with the volume turned up. He even contends that he really wasn't a heel in interviews. Also he does yell at ppl etc to some extent. and no shit.
Who remembers that owen forced his mom to throw the towel to "save" Bret and loose the titel against Bob, just for the reason that Owen took the titel from Bob next. All that was Owens evil Plan!!!! BUT this mandela effect story just exists inmy head. Because DIESEL took the titel from Bob next ‼️⁉️😱 what absolutely makes no sense because Diesel still was a Background Charakter than. And all the mom story makes totaly no sense this way 😓
Mr. Backlund is still a machine! That takes neck, core strength, and agility. Congrats, sir!
Dude majored in physical education at North Dakota State
@@AmateurBarbarian So?
Bob Backlund is the most naturally gifted and physically capable human specimen in the history of wrestling anywhere.

@@MetalHead-ks9zq No, but he is a better wrestler than Flair and in better shape.

Bob Backlund has the most underrated mic skills in the history of WWE
His psychotic character in the 90's was brilliant
If they had allowed him to show more character than a white meat face he'd be even MORE appreciated! I'm still not over him losing to Sheiky Baby... I was rooting for Snuka😂 well history showed I was wrong 😅
@@IncogNegro1967In the 90's they let him run wild with his character and it was great. Never liked how fast they made him lose to Diesel

@cowgoesquack5945 That's Mr. Backlund to you.
That's unbelievable at his age. the man's an absolute Legend. I know this is years old but that's Impressive.
He is the real deal. Strong as an ox. He is a machine.
I love Bob Backlund. What a great heel. He’s amazing.
This dude is an absolute unit
One of my Top 5 favorite's of all time.
People forget Backlund's athleticism and conditioning because it's a "show". World class.
Jesse Ventura said that Backlund was always in great shape and was a lot stronger than he appeared
THATS MR BACKLUND TO YOU, YOUNG MAN!
Mr. Bob Backlund is one of my favorite wrestlers. I met him in 1994 he was very nice. He talked with my cousin and I for like fifteen minutes and took pictures with us. I wish they put him in WWE 2k25 as a playable character.
Mr. Backlund is still a friggin badass!!
I’m 29 and look athletic as hell and I can’t imagine doing this….amazing
It really is almost beyond comprehension

@@terrys4351 that is a damn shame. I had no idea he was sick with dementia.
Man is an insane athlete
I have no excuses. Mr. Bob Backlund the real deal no doubt.
I'm honored to say I was put in a cross face chiken wing by this man

He's always been such an amazing human
The kid at the front just thinking.. "daddy this is not a wrestler.. where's Cena?"..
He has always been a beast
He talked at my school when I was a kid and gave me a Roman style handshake on the forearm. Didn’t even hit me hard but I had a welt for the rest of the day 😂. Dude was literally made of iron.

Jesus doesn’t this guy ever age?!
ONE MORE RUN
This is definitely some shit you’d expect to see him doing before clicking the video lmao. This man is a cyborg.
Legend 👑
We would do this is wrestlingg practice . Theres a trick to it but still at 70 years old ... the man is a beast
Go Bob Go!!!!

He was 70 years old when he did this. Very impressive.
Bob still going strong 💪!🇺🇸👍
Forever young
Awesome
Legend
Dude was allways amazing. I was a Fan of him when he had that run vs Bret Hart
I heard a lot of wrestlers were afraid of him in the ring if actual push came to shove
I was waiting to hear the Shart. 😂
No seriously Backlund has always been a phenomenal athlete. This is impressive at 69. I couldn’t do this at 29..😮
Bob Backlund is the real deal.
My hero.
Amazing
Whoa! He's still a fuckin BEAST!
Incredible
WOW!
This was Bob after he stormed into Vince’s office in 2016 showing Vince he wasn’t too old to be Darren Young’s manager, obviously I just made that it but I’d totally believe that
Still the real mfk'n deal, wow
Dam tough dude ...
Bob backlund you still have it.mr bob backlund hard hard pay off .
If you're not calling people trash during this your kid doesn't have a verbal memory
I'd be In bed for 3 days after that stretch
Still waiting for WWE to do their A&E biography on him so much to talk about
had the pleasure of shaking hands with him some years ago at the state veterans home.
Glad Mr. Backlund is finally getting the respect he deserves from the pleabians.
Wow! He’s so much fitter than his younger wrestling buddies
He was in a similar pose whe he did the clean job to Diesel in 8 seconds.
Wwwe legend
Wow.
Amazing to be in such great physical shape at advanced age. I can't believe he's still doing the nutzoid gimmick though.
that's actually how he is
@@hw5091 no it's not. He didn't start wrestling in 1994.
@@AngryRantsAndStuff yes it is. Just with the volume turned up. He even contends that he really wasn't a heel in interviews. Also he does yell at ppl etc to some extent. and no shit.
@@AngryRantsAndStuff ummm he started wrestling in the 70s
@@taltagteamchamps No shit. I was around for that. 🙄
Incredible strong core and great flexibility

I remember that match. Owen's mom ripped the towel out of Stu's hand and threw it in the ring.
@@rickyallen7176 yes Sir, but how went this stoty on? All this was Just a plan to take Brets Belt ...
Wow this guy is still in incredible physical condition--at what 70 years old? Impressive.
This is insane for someone his age. However, I am not surprised. He's always been a tough bastard 😂
He must have trained with Mr Myogi lololol
Dream Match: Bob Backlund vs Roman Reigns.
He was 70 here
The Miz dad😂
You have GOT to be kidding! Mr. Backlund go team up with DDP! We won't eat Marijuana ever again!
BOB BACKLUND SHOULD HAVE PUT THE CHICKEN WING ON EVERYONE THERE.😂
I thought it was Michael Keaton with blonde hair in the thumbnail 😂😂
Mad props. How old was he here?
This was WrestleCon 2019. He was 69 at the time
69 years of age. One of the most fit men on the planet at this age.
He should have never left the ring!
“Lets start over”
Sir I only asked for a picture
Harley Race was the greatest wrestler on gods green earth? I’m beginning to think that’s not the case.
A monster
One more match! 🤣🤣🤣
R.I.P. to the failed "you still got it!" guy
Wow
The head stand & balance is impressive at any age, but at 70? And even more impressive is that he didn’t fart
He could snap on everyone in that room if you don’t call him mr bob backlund
He's one terrifying human
Looks like he’s been doing some DDP Yoga
Howdy Doody on steroids! 😅
I remember everyone calling him Opie
@@rickyallen7176
I remember people calling him Opie too, but they also called him Howdy Doody, which is my personal favorite. 👍
Who shittalked Bob Backlund to make him do that?
HOW?????
is it true he's fighting dementia now? I believe I might have read this somewhere :(
@@brianc.3607 Yes, unfortunately. He is
Now Let's see Hogan do this 😂
This man is a nut…but I love him!!!!
If he acted like that on the subway, I would be scared of him
Do you think Backlund was on the spectrum?
Please for the love of everything that holy, stop with “You still got it & This is Awesome!” Chants
