    Much respect for Bob.. The character on TV was very close to the man himself. Fitness enthusiast, Olympic wrestling fanatic... set a positive example to the youth in the audience.

    In 1979, outside MSG, I saw Backlund about to enter a taxi. I yell "How about a handshake?" He walks 50 feet over to me and shakes my hand. I was twelve and very impressed. He was a great workhorse for the WWWF back then. Used to see him every month and he packed the house. I'd sit first few rows ringside, getting my tickets on the way to school Tuesday morning.

    I was 12 when I got to see Bob wrestle Don Muraco in my little Upstate NY town. Got to see it front row. Dam ticket cost me 2 weeks allowance. Was worth it.

    I was about 10 years old. I was in bed sleeping and my father actually woke me up on a school night to watch Bob Backlund Vs. Stan Hansen at MSG. I think it was the cage match.
    Believe it or not, I wanted Stan Hansen to win. I liked all the rule breakers. Adrian Adonis was my favorite. There were so many great WWF wrestlers. Then Georgia Championship Wrestling started being shown on TBS on Saturday and Sunday. We were in pro wrestling heaven. Every weekend, all my friends would come over my house because I had a huge family room with a TV that had cable. We’d watch a few hours of wrestling, then kick the living shit out of each other. It was great!! We’d have Battle Royals where you had to eliminate the other guy by throwing him over the back of the couch.
    Just try to imagine around 10 to 15 4th grade kids beating the shit out of each other at the same time and loving every second of it. My parents would freak out as lamps and shit got broken all the time. We’d start hitting each other with “foreign objects”. I remember putting green food coloring in water, then climbing up on the back of my couch aka “the top rope” and spitting green mist like The Great Kabuki. I’d be spinning in circles with green shit coming out of my mouth. My mother thought I was insane. It’s amazing my parents didn’t put me in an insane asylum.

      Backlund, during his nearly 6 year reign, made every rulebreaker he fought extremely credible. That in itself says a lot about the man.

    In Backlund's book, Bob said his matches were always stiiff when he wrestled Stan because they had a rivalry stemming back to when they both wrestled for the Funks in Amarillo.
