Oh my God, the Backlund speech is getting some buzz. Wrestling-news.net is reporting Vince came out TWICE to get him to stop, Triple H came out once, they turned the lights off on him and he just kept going like some demented Energizer bunny. Dunno how they will edit it for the Blu-ray.

Maria: Ladies and Gentlemen, the next inductee to the 2013 Hall of Fame, Bob Backlund! *Bob walks out* Backlund: Thank you. *Dubbed* "I have to go now, my planet needs me." Baclund is crudely moved up the screen. The screen then reads "Bob Backlund disappeared on the way back to his home planet.*

Is now a good time to mention at the end of the night, he just jumped off the stage and took off through the crowd? *shakes his head*

Backlund's entire career has been never knowing when to quit. I'm sure ultimately Vince and company loved it.

Gotta give props to Backlund... I don't think he's broke character once in public since 1994.

Ok, just got back from the ceremony.
Mick Foley - fun, funny and cool speech you'd expect from Foley. Plus Santa Claus made an appearance.
Trish Stratus - her husband got almost as much heel heat as Donald Trump. Plus she announced that she was pregnant.
Booker T - cool to see Stevie Ray again. Nice touching speech by him.
Bob Backlund - well before we get to the main course, the crowd turned on Maria Menounos pretty quick. I felt bad for her. She was trying to give him a heartfelt praising, but she just kept rambling on and the fans started to get rowdy. Backlund speech was flat out insane. Seriously, imagine the Iron Sheik's speech from a few years back times ten. He was ranting so hard at times and turning red that I seriously expected him to have a heart attack.
Donald Trump - got booed out the building, but he ran with it and made it entertaining.
Bruno Sammartino - good speech where he thanked the fans and talked about his early life and how he started in wrestling. Came off very humble actually.

At the end
Backlund jumped in the crowd and went nuts running through the Garden. Before that he teased putting Vince in the chickenwing. - pwinsider

I just re watched Sheik's. I don't know its a hard one to top...It's just amazing, I don't know where that guy gets the energy from. If anyone can do it the Backland can though! I can't wait to see it!

I have to say, MSG was a bunch of pricks to Maria Menounos.
Just let the girl finish her damn speech!

Just got back GREAT night Foley was by far the best. Jericho taking the elbow was hilarious incredile to see Bruno. but he was a bit boring to be honest, Foley should have gone last in hindsight Bob Backlund was insane, but I think that was planned Trish was more entertaining than I thought, the Ron chants were great fun Booker T was really great, Stevie Ray gave a great intro Trump had a great sense of humor for his harsh reception Menunos' intro went on for too long imo, hence her boos Saw a lot of wrestlers enter and exit. Lilian touched my hand. Tim White loved the crowd outside. Cena got booe'd bad, Michael Hayes and Bret Hart were both accompoanied by young hot pieces of ass. Sandow and Miz were happy to get crowd reactions outside. Brodus just jumped on the bus quickly. The crowd was great. When vince said he was the ugliest bald man in the world, some guy by me said "Have you ever seen Hogan? ?" Vince actually cracked a smile, and said "Hogan's named was mentioned, thats an unfortunate occurance" However I didn't get the Trump hate. I mean yeah he's a celebrity, but if theres a celebrity wing he is amongst the most deserving
