I love Bob, and marked out at seeing him, but man I was cracking up at his rambling, half coherent 'campaign speech'.
Particularly "I say heckuva cuz I don't like to say HELLLLLLL!"

he said if anybody got out of line he would lock in the crossface chicken wing...he should have won just based on that alone!

I was hoping they would have sent somebody out there to take his mic and escort him to the back only for Bob to go all apeshit and chickenwing his ass right there on the stage. |

The fact that he didn't was an injustice. No disrespect to Shawn but seeing crazy Backlund in a cell trying to ref a match would be like printing money.

I love him so much. Seeing him cordially congratulate Shawn after the results were announced was an awesome little addendum too.

I don't know what it is that's so great about Backlund, but every time he shows up, it's like somebody opened up a time capsule and 1954 just jumped out and suddenly discovered Red Bull for the first time.
Oh, wait, that's exactly what it is.

Watching the promo again, I think he was supposed to say "Best for Business" like Booker T did but he just blanked on the line.
Thus, we get incoherent "Cross! Face! Chicken! Wing!" at maximum volume.

Mr. Backlund is f***ing awesome. I got so pissed at those fans who kept WHATing him.

Might Bob have one if he wasn't up against Shawn Michaels?

I knew Bob wouldn't win, he wouldn't win even if the poll wasn't fixed. I liked that the chicken wing got a pop. But I did love that 'I say heck cause I don't like to say HELLLLLL' line and then it just got worse from there, which is a shame. Because Backlund has the capacity for awesomeness.

Ditto. I'm an HBK fan, and I would've voted for Backlund. |

If Backlund had somehow won the poll, WWE would've shit a brick (as I'm sure they were counting on HBK winning). But it would've been f***ing epic. |

It was rigged because I refuse to believe that Backlund wouldn't have won
