Posted December 14, 200717 yr comment_5425253 Awesome match with Hansen playing the outmatched heel, which is kind of a weird role for him, but they make it work. The spot where Backlund lifts his opponent onto the top rope and then slaps him is always great, but here, you're just like, "Wow, he slapped STAN HANSEN." Definite nomination. (NJC 95)

August 29, 200916 yr comment_5443500 I think Will needs to watch this, this might be the best Backlund match I have seen in NJ, Hansen looks great here super stiff, and I liked some of Backlunds counters, especially the deadlift. I mean Backlund bugs me normally, but I liked this more then the Choshu and Hogan matches.
August 30, 200916 yr comment_5443509 The early stuff with Backlund escaping and outsmarting hansen was well done. Hansen working over Bob's neck and kicking him in the head was a-ok with me. Phil mentioned the power lift. Loss mentioned the slap. All good shit. Hansen working on the arm didn't make sens to me when him kicking Bob in the head was much more entertaining. Bob makes up for it by kneeing Stan in the head and following with a sweet piledriver. The end run was hot and both guys countered and dodged some big bullets. Since I don't have an irrational hatred of Backlund, I definitely think this should go on but what can you do.
