Bob Backlund enters the WWE HOF
Category: Not in Hall of Fame News Created on Monday, 21 January 2013 23:01 Written by Committee Chairman Hits: 159
Today, the WWE has announced their second inductee to the 2013 Hall of Fame Class. Former two time WWE World Heavyweight Champion; Bob Backlund is taking his rightful place in the Hall. His first World Title reign lasted a whopping six years, and he headlined countless main events in the fabled Madison Square Gardens. Backlund was a technical marvel, and he bested challenger after challenger. He lost the belt to the Iron Sheik in December of 1983, and was barely a factor in the then named WWF after, as Hulk Hogan took the belt from the Sheik and the Vince McMahon owned fed, moved in a different direction.Backlund would go into semi-retirement to return in 1992. His first few months provided few highlights, but a heel turn led to a second reign, and a psychotic personality that fit into what wrestling became. Backlund would again ease back into semi-retirement, and has allegedly been approached by the WWE to enter the Hall of Fame for years. We are glad to see that he has accepted, and like the first inductee announced (Mick Foley) it is only fitting to see him inducted in Madison Square Gardens.
Bob Backlund was ranked #4 on our list and along with Foley (#7) makes two of our top ten to be selected for this year. He will remain on our list until we revise it shortly after Wrestlemania. We congratulate Bob Backlund on this well-deserved accolade.
