I am standing with Bob Backlund. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. Agree or disagree with his tactics, he is now 2-time WWF Champion...
[interrupting] Wait a minute, wait a minute. First of all, young man, it's Mr. Bob Backlund, and you're incorrect. I've been the Champion since 1978. I never lost the Championship. Tonight I just regained the belt, and I beat the man that represents your society! I beat him so I could save you! I'm going to scrutinize you to the fullest, pasteurize you, homogenize you, and synchronize you back into morality! You understand, ladies and gentlemen? It's sports-education! I'M YOUR CHAMPION! And I'll take on anybody...anybody at all, ladies and gentlemen, in your generation, 'cause I'm fighting for something that's more important than anything in this world, is put morality back into your lives; and now your children have somebody that they can emulate after, and try to catch up to... 'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE GOD!!!
[cut back to the commentary table]
Alright, thank you very much, Todd Pettengill. What's your reaction to Bob Backlund?
Well, we're in trouble, Vince.
I guess maybe we are.
You know, but... he made a stupid statement there. He said, "I never gave up," but he got the title back here tonight in the same fashion that he lost it in Madison Square Garden – by someone throwing the towel in. When is he gonna wake up and look in the mirror and say, "hey, it happened before, it's happened again, now I'm the champion, you're gonna have to live with it"? We're gonna have to live with it.
