Was Anybody Surprised to See Bob Backlund?

[Bobafett]

so the hall of fame may be MISTER Bob Backlund approved..

[Mister Pigwell]

Surprised the hell out of me. I enjoyed seeing him... I love his goofy appearances in a ring every now and then.

Backlund vs Funk at Wrestlemania.... Book it WWE!

[Legion]

I thought he was in TNA, but fair enough. Wasn't he on Raw in 1996 as a manager with Fatu?

[Citizen Snips]

Any appearance by Mr Backlund is welcome on my TV any time. I really wished he would've slapped a ref in the Crossface Chicken Wing on the way out.

whatever Bob's doing, he needs to put in a book, and sell, he'll make millions!

Everytime, nature tries to age him, he slaps a stiff crossface-chickenwing on her.

I was surprised to see that he's in better shape than half the current roster.

Of course, since 90% of the crowd was 15 years old or less, they didn't have a clue who he or any of the legends were outside of Hogan.

Sad...sad but true. Yes, I was surprised to see Bobby B. He creeps me out sometimes though. I loved his brief stint back in 2000 with Y2J. I thought he was still with TNA, so yeah it surprised me a lot when he came out.

I seriously thought he was still in TNA.

I'm thinking someone might be in for one last run...he looks the same as he did when he first won the championship and he's in better shape than alot of the roster, especially considering his age (I'm looking at you, Ric Flair).

[Mister Yummy]

I too thought he was still in TNA. I remember pushing for him to win the NWA Title shortly before they lost use of it.

[Haulk]

Backlund has better abs than Edge! his health kick is something special. Isnt he squeezing his own juice and walking 5 miles each way to TNA impact.

Good to see that Vince doesn't care if you were in TNA

Makes me keep hope that Christian and Angle will go back

Well he did show videos with Christian and Angle, so I doubt he cares

[Dean-o]

I marked like a 5 year old kid seeing Cena. Of course, no one else in my section knew who the hell he was, but I didn't care. It was awesome seeing him back!

[letigre]

I was very stunned to see Bob. I don't give a shit about the HOF, that's a joke anyway. I thought he was on the WWE "blacklist", and his name had not shown up on any of those lists (but I think he lives like an hour or so from the arena, being a CT boy). And to show up in great shape to boot, wow. I hope WWE uses him more in the future, maybe a DVD?

[bradyfan]

I didn't mark for Bob. He never was that intresting at all to me.

Probably did, and I'm sure he was offered rides by thousands of concerned motorists.

[Mozenrath]

I marked for him coming out to the Presidential theme.

I was totally taken off-guard when Mr. Backlund came down the ramp. Check this out:
