Seriously I had no idea he was still wrestling, I thought he retired like 10 years ago. The guy's 60 but looks like he's still in great shape(A lot better then Flair). It's just weird seeing him wrestle infront of 30 people. This match was from like 3 months ago.

I am of the opinion that Mr Backlund will, at this rate, live to be about 240 years old. And he will still look amazing.

They talked about how he always walking to every place and never drives in orlando. He just always kept himself in good shape.

Love Backlund being fairly quiet and then going insane once he snapped the chicken wing.
Still one of my favorite wrestlers ever.

Has he worked for ROH? They always seem to be bringing in wrestlers and wrestling personalities of the past for just appearances (Cornette, Sammartino, Foley, Flair, Hart, Heenan, Midnight Express). It would be cool to see Mr Backlund in ROH even if he did 1 match.

He's refused induction to the WWE HoF, as he still sees himself as an active wrestler.

Bob Backlund is awesome, and he looks amazing considering his age.

I just hope that he made the guy pass a history test just to be able to get into the ring with him...

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

I actually used to watch Jason Rumble in our own shitty, VFW hall-"filling" indy fed. Cool to see him wrestling a legend like Mr. Backlund.
