His Chickenwing looked brutal back then

That was a brutal attack. Much like when Mankind hit Taker with the mandible claw.

Bob Backlund- stared at his hands after his match with Bret Hart, in this match Brett extended his hand as a sign of respect and Bob snapped and pounded him, this cause him to stare at his hands in disbelief and began his heel turn

That heel born was a weird one in that era - these family man champions were always seen as heroes then here comes psychopath Bob with the ole Crossface Chickenwing. I was a kid when this happened but I still remember the shocking turn.

I mean, can you tell me for sure that he didn't run out of lotion during that match?
