That match with Bret at Survivor Series 94 is so damn compelling. Breh had Bret in the crossface chickenwing meanwhile Owen was on the floor causing fukkery with Stu and Helen.

**watching Bret get choked out**
Owen: "That's my brother. :to:"
**after Helen throws in the towel**
Owen: "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :blessed: :troll:"

Up there with Hakushi in "underrated Bret feuds"
Golden Age WWF during Backlund's reign as the champ.

Still remember when he did the Harvard Step Test during the entire broadcast to show his endurance.

Him being bland worked well to balance all the over the top characters of his era.

His heel turn was the most unexpected one ever.
*stares at own hands like an innocent and terrified witness to the brutality they have caused*

I hated this gimmick as a kid :camby:

Appreciate it more as an adult
:salute:

Definitely hated how he was fukking wit Bret and furthering the Divide in The Hart Fam wit Owen at his side
Amazing character that they threw away for no reason.

I can see Sef picking up that Gimmick Style if he didnt want to take Rated R Edge's Style but hed have to have a Submission Move also

Backlund: KEVIN NASH, YOU'RE LIKE A NEANDERTHAL! :damn:

Shawn: Did you hear that, McMahon, "Kevin Nash"? :sas1:

Vince: Yep. :francis:

Shawn: You know who that is? :sas2:

Backlund: NO! YOU'RE LIKE THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX OF THE WWF! :damn:

Shawn: You know who he is describing? :sas1:

Vince: (annoyed) Yes. :beli:

Shawn tryna break kayfabe and Vince getting annoyed :russ:

it was so weird because this dude was from a completely different era but somehow still seemed like he could easily choke these young fools out...his gimmick felt 100% real and he was a true heat magnet at the time. shyt was mind boggling.
