Bob Backlund

[Tommy Thunder]

Really??? Really?!? REALLY?!?!?!?!? I would give ANYTHING to look like Bob Backlund in my 60's.

I was going to say the same thing!
When I saw that there was a poll on this Baucklund thread, I thought it was a poll to guess his age or something! The man didn't look a day older than 20 lol!

I answered NO !

I was excited to see Bob Blacklund on Raw, The problem is for a company that states in their Did you know facts: Did you know Raw started airing even before Justin Bieber was Born??, shows their main audience is a young one who would even bother to look who he is, anyway he made the older fans and IWC happy so I'm fine with it

I was not excited this time, or the 5 previous times he has come back.

His time has long since passed. This coming from someone who grew up in the 70s/80s lol.

Can't say i was bothered either way!

I'm not entirely sure a large part of the audience in the arena knew who he was. You heard the ones who did, you saw them get excited but for those who don't know him all they saw was a fairly old man acting like an idiot and then taking down Slater with a move they probably never saw before.

Personally I was happy to see him there because I know his history and know how truly talented he is, but I hate that they had him acting like some confused old man, that seemed pointless to me even if it was his gimmick years ago.

I agree and disagree, I would have rather seen the old 70's Backlund who used to lift men twice his size and outlast opponents in the ring but he probably isn't that same young stud anymore.

I disagree because if we are talking about Raw here, that is the gimmick he had every time he appeared on Raw.
