I was watching a Backlund/HBK match from Goodhelmet's excellent Backlund comp the other day and Hays just buried him in commentary. He called Backlund ugly,old, unathletic, and not the all-american boy. Lord Al was rooting for the heel HBK the whole match. Anyone know what the backstory is there?

As far as I know, there's no heat, but Hays always picked strange times to side with the heels over the babyfaces. It was never consistent.
