Bob Backlund Talks About His WWE HOF Speech, Why He Thought It Would Be A Disaster And More

Former WWE World Champion and Hall of Famer Bob Backlund recently talked with John Corrigan at WrestleDelphia.com about his new book, “Backlund.” Here is an excerpt from that interview in which he discusses being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

 


 

“It was a fantastic night,” Backlund said of his HOF induction. “You know, they wanted to write a speech for me, and I said if you do that, it will be a disaster. (laughs) I have to speak from my heart. I didn’t know one word I was going to say ten seconds before I started saying it. It was like a wrestling match: start out a little slow, and then build.”
