8 Times Wrestlers Went Above And Beyond To Make Someone Look Good
5. Bob Backlund
Most people know that Bob Backlund made Diesel look like a monster with his 8-second championship defeat in Madison Square Garden. One kick to the stomach, one Jackknife powerbomb, and a one-two-three, and you've got yourself a big tall fella with quads made of glass, balsa wood, and hope as your top guy.
But what many people don't know, or seem to forget, is that Backlund went the extra mile to put 'Big Daddy Cool' over in the aftermath of his victory. In shoot interviews, Kevin Nash has praised Backlund's efforts, describing how the former champ crawled from the ring to the back in order to sell how devastating the powerbomb was.
THAT is commitment.
