Favorite Pre-Hogan WWF Champion?

[edgedge]

This was WAY before my time, but from what I've seen, I went with Backlund.

This was before my time, but based on personality and the matches he had, especially with Rhodes, it's Graham for me. He was so far ahead in getting a heel personality with the fans, it was stupid and he actually was a very good wrestler.

Backlund he was just pure awesome in the ring

I went with Sammartino even though I grew up in AWA and only read mags about WWF. His East Coast working man hero thing works for me, especially for that time.

Bob Backlund. A little before my time but the man had unique charisma and had talent to be a believable champ.

I was tempted to go with Rogers, but I'll always associate him more with the NWA title. Mostly due, I think, to his post match promo ("But there's one thing I want the people to know, and that is - to a nicer guy, it couldn't happen!")

I went with Bruno. I just really like the guy.

Bruno was THE MAN in New York. He was over with the fans like nobody else at the time.

I'm forever a Pedro mark.

If there was no Stan Stasiak, there'd be no Planet Stasiak, and that would just be crazy-ak!
