I know he is a very over the top character. But look at this. youtube.com/watch?v=BFXN676DJdcWhy did he keep the crazy character when he wanted to be elected? Or is he just legit insane. |

Yeah, it's just an act. He's been the Mr. Bob Backlund character since 1994. I recall seeing him on The O'Reilly Factor years ago and he seemed normal.

When he was running, he'd go around to Raws and Smackdowns to get people to sign his mailing list, sell T-shirts/photos, etc in the concourse before the show. As I was going to my seat at a Raw, I saw a small crowd and then thought "My god...Mr Backlund!!"I went up to Mr Backlund, shook his hand, told him both me and my father were huge fans of his, bought a photo, shook his hand again. How nice is Mr Backlund? His last words to me:
"Tell your dad I said hi."
A truly, truly nice man. It's all an act. But a GREAT one...that's why Mr Backlund's so great.

It's a work... but I heard that if you touch his bowtie, he snaps and puts you in the chickenwing.

Bam Bam said Bob Backlund is the nicest guy in the wrestling business.

I wish he had won. He sounds almost Libertarian.

I got a picture with him at a Smackdown show in the lobby at his table. I went to shake his hand and he spun me around and applied the chicken-wing without warning. It was awesome and it hurt.
