They shouldn't edit a second out of Backlund's speech. Not one word. That whole thing was amazing and MSG was eating it up.

If they air Backlund's speech the ratings would beat Rock this is your life segment.

As they introduce The new class tonight they should get to Backland and Announce his name...nothing...Announce it again....nothing...One more time,...(we here vince "off cam" scream, "Where the hell is Bob)...the camera cuts to Backland alone in the middle of MSG still giving his speech, a janitor with a push broom walks by.

I am so much more excited to see this than this time yesterday! I knew it would be a great HOF, possibly the best ever, but the whole Backlund thing sounds amazing. Huge mark for Backlund, here, so just about any time he is utilized in these type of things it turns out great.
I remember when Backlund was trying to speak at the Iron Sheik Kayfabe Commentaries Roast, and some guy in the audience was being a little unruly for Bob's liking. Bob had been calmly and eloquently speaking, in a way you rarely see him speaking, when addressing Iron Sheik, but he went out to this guy in the crowd and went straight back into circa 93 Backlund lunatic mode. He came back to the podium, and without returning to his speech, yelled in Iron Sheik's face "do you understand me, young man?!?" That was the end of his speech, and he went back to his seat.

Maybe this is why when he came back to wrestle Heath Slater, they used the old clean cut babyface version. They were hoping, it would undo that weird Mr. Bob Backlund affect that the heel turn had on every interview/segment that he's done since.

I have to say, MSG was a bunch of pricks to Maria Menounos. Just let the girl finish her damn speech! I agree. There's a time and place to express yourself, and crapping over someone trying to play tribute is totally uncalled for.

Iron Sheik, Norman Smiley and P.S. Hayes all in the same pic., You have forgotten Hornswoggle. Is he in the chair behind the Iron Sheik?

I was curious about that too.
Is everyone getting shown, or just the 4 we were told about?

I like that Foley speech. It was way too short. Random punk is random.

I do not understand why they cut Bob but left in Trump. I hope we get the whole Hall of Fame in the Blu-Ray.
