Back then the internet was 10% percent of the audience and now it’s virtually 100%

my favorite wrestler of all time besides SCSA

Awesome! Bob was one of the last of the old school to never SHOOT-TALK. Only critique is interviewer moved off some great topics too fast. 1984 title change 4 one. He read the book - we didn't. Just saying "gotcha" and "yep" and moving on to next Q. . Bob's likes to pause so he would have said more if the interviewer kept quiet or fed some follow ups. Still a big treat though!

When will the day arrive when somebody can conduct an interview with a Professional Wrestler/Sports Entertainer without the word "shoot"? It's the year 2016. There are no interviews labeled, "Kayfabe Interviews" so we are these interviews still labeled, "Shoot Interviews"? Please lose the term, "SHOOT" from discussions with Professional Wrestler/Sports Entertainer's. It's completely unnecessary and annoying.

not only one of the great wrestlers but many say he's the nicest most gracious man. As a heel or a face, an epic talent. Cross face chicken wing.

bob backlund was a great wrestler but he was boring , its not to put him down but he was better as a heel unfortunately for him and bruno as well as pedro their style came to an end after their heyday it was all about gimmick and entertainment

Bob Backlund was also an underrated heel. His heel turn on Bret Hart restarted his career and he had a lot of classics after that

In working for The Philadelphia Spectrum I got to know Bob Backlund and what a great guy.I was one of the few people who he did not ask to call him Mr.Backlund.Bob was a tremendous worker and wrestler and is so underated but truely was one of the greatest.

I love the month of Novemver.

Mr Bob Backlund was a fantastic heel! Glad he was so opposed to the heel turn in previous years because I felt it came at the right time. The only thing I wish was done different was if they had left the belt on Backlund for a few more months and let him lose it at 'Mania. Everything about the Mr Bob Backlund gimmick was gold, even tho some people who were kids then are just realising it now. It was a golden gimmick, Bob flipping on Arnold, the history of it all, the towel and then the towel match. All great stuff and we'll executed by Backlund. Just think that's where Vince dropped the ball. Spent a few months building the Mr Backlund character, he him defeat Hart, who was as over as a guy can possibly be. All to lose in 8 seconds at a FN house show. It's just one of those what the fuck moments. Backlund deserved more during his heel run in 94-95, no doubt.

INCREDIBLE INTERVIEW! It sure cleared up a lot of myths about Bob that have been floating around for years! ROCK ON, Mr.Backlund!

In 1979, a new pro wrestling publication hit newsstands and magazine racks across the nation. It was Pro Wrestling Illustrated. When the first issue went to press, Bob Backlund was what is now the WWE World's Heavyweight Champion. He was also ranked at #6 in the Most Popular Wrestler category.

seeing the video image Sid could of been Sabretooth in the 2000 XMen movie. All he would of needed was the fangs. His Sid Vicious/Psycho Sid gimmick would've fit in perfectly.

Fantastic interview; anytime Mr. Backund is doing a podcast- stop and check it out!

What a great listen. Thanks for sharing! My friend and I met Bob a couple of months ago at a local sports store. He was so polite, humble, and down to Earth. It's so refreshing to meet a guy like him who lives the life of the straight and narrow and does things the right way in a profession where so many of these athletes pollute their bodies with drugs. He's now 66 and still going strong and he looks great. I highly recommend his book for any wrestling fan out there and also for parents who want to give their kids a meaningful gift for Christmas. They will learn a lot by reading it!

He has weird eyes and no personality.

Roman is not a bad wrestler it's the wwe headquarters who write the scripts that make it look like he is

What the shit was that Snickers bit all about?

I like roman I dont know why people are commenting saying he sucks If he sucks why did they click onto this video or search for him !! He could fuck the haters up peice of piss. There just jealous sore loser who if they went face to face with him they wouldnt have the balls to say a mean word about him Roman a true superstar and will grow to become a hall of famer one day!

Wow, This guy just has boredom written all over him.

I don't wana hate this guy, he's eventually going to blossom into a top guy but when the company feeds him shit scripts and is shoved down everyone's throats then it's hard to like him.

You did not drop the ball Roman! Knocked that bitch outta the park with Brock. Fantastic stuff

Loser Boo-man Reigns

Completely agree with him on the business.

Not sure where you are but you can always go to an Axxess one year.

I need to somehow someway meet this man. Never had an idol til I seen this guy perform

Former wwf and wcw champion,had great matches with undertaker in memphis and wwf, member of four horsemen. I agree, sid had earned his spot in the hall of fame.

The Best

Gimme a break. Zbysko hardly touched him with the chair much less cut him with it. Watch the video. You can see Bruno blade himself. I understand though,these old timers still cling to kayfabe.

the very meaning of "PERFECTION" None of the new guys including Lesnar could hold a candle to this man ...

Damn good in the ring, one of the best!

Great interview, Curt Hennig was such an awesome guy and an amazing athlete.

Sid will forever be the shit.

Curt Hennig was what he said he was.... he was Perfect!

paul such cool cat to talking to !!!!!!!

On a side note, who is this clown making Perfect's death about him and his "family?"

Sid Vicious is one of the biggest impacts of wrestling next to Lex Sting and Flair. One of the greatest bad guys of all time. Sid Vicious in the Hall of Fame.

Hennig was underutilized by both WWE and WCW. He was a fantastic heel, he could cut a damn good promo, and he was one of the best wrestlers to ever grace a ring. He should have been a top star, but alas, he never held the heavyweight title even once. What a shame.

BRUNO HAS BIG ASS EGO !!!!!

Sid was the mold that guys like Goldberg, Stone Cold, Lesnar, Ryback and Lashley have shamelessly copied. A true innovator.

Bill & Buddy Show Classic!

That's one of the biggest dick moves I've heard of if Flair really tried to do that Jimmy. Then again Ric wasn't known to be the most dedicated family man back then so it wouldn't surprise me sadly enough.

SID SO DOWN TO EARTH !!!!!!

man this was boring

Who is the idiot claiming Hogan "held him down?" They were friends and Hogan worked with him and allowed Curt to make a ton of money working with him. Not taking anything away from his unbelievable skills, Mr. Perfect, but Hulk Hogan was the money man.

In the late 1970s to early 1980s there probably wouldn't have been a better guy to break you in as a young talent and help develop your career than Ivan Koloff.

Great interviewer. Very respectful, organized, and lively.

Great job!!! Thank ya so much, for posting this up. Yea World Class was such a hot bed for some great wrestling, back in the day. I remember the Freebird-Von Erich & the Jimmy Garvin-Chris Adams feuds real well. I also have the WCCW dvd set added to my collection to. And if that's not enough, I also, to this day, have Garvin with the rest of the Freebirds in my NWA & there feuding with? Who else? Yep, you guessed it, the Von Erichs. Just like old times. But it sure is fun though. We'll be in the ring tonight, for a big house show in the Dominican Republic. Plus a PPV on April 27th And yes, I still have the TBS shows on the weekends the stars vs the jobbers. Just like old times. I've been doing this for 30 years now. As for Flair not giving Jimmy a few days off when that awful storm hit, Hey Flair, stop being such a douche. Jimmy had a catastrophe to deal with. If it had been the other way around, JUST WATCH HOW FAST FLAIR WOULD BOLT. And no one can say he wouldn't have, cos its only natural. Flair = DOUCHE.

he is funny - tip.

The Hammer RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TY !!! Yeah! Greg!!!! The Hammer !!!!! Miss ya pal! Conme ot NY.. Thanks, Eric.
