[1995-01-30-WWF-Raw] King's Court: Bob Backlund

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

You can tell just based on his announcing that Vince absolutely adores this version of Backlund. I really hate it when the announcers talk over the in-ring interview, which seems to be an 80s/90s WWF thing. Backlund applies the Crossface Chicken Wing on Lawler and Lawler immediately says, "I quit, Mr. Bob Backlund" to get out of it. I cracked up at Backlund's misuse of "yours truly". Backlund is now insisting that he will no longer break the hold unless the person to whom it is applied has the same response.

Backlund procures the Crossface Chicken Wing on Lawler

Fixed.

When did they stop doing the kings Court? I don't remember it past 95. I really want to see Backlund put it on Mcmahon but I don't think that ever happened?

"How can he put a hold on himself?"

"If anyone can do it, it's Bob Backlund"

Bob's reaction to Lawler patting him on the shoulder is FANTASTIC. Backlund is playing things far more low-key than usual, which makes him downright scary. I like Bob as the heel outsider.
