Gorilla and Vince in “1994”

Well we've come full circle, eleven years has gone by, and Bob Backlund is once again the reigning World Wrestling Federation Champion.

I can't believe it, I cannot believe it! Bob Backlund wears the World Wrestling Federation Championship! George Foreman did it in boxing; Bob Backlund has just done it at the same age, 45, in the World Wrestling Federation; and Backlund looking at his hands, his characteristic look, I don't know that he can really believe it.

But the Hitman, Vince, never quit.

This crowd is stunned. Look at that. That says it all, that look. This is the New Generation? I shudder to think!

This is the flag-bearer now for the World Wrestling Federation?

We're being told, ladies and gentlemen, not to cut Backlund's celebration short. Look at him, he's actually acting like he's 10 feet tall! Look at him.
