Backlund Chicken Wing

In 1 collection by captainhowdy

Description
Custom Finisher for Bob Backlund during his crazy heel gimmick from the WWF around the 1994-95 era.

This move is a juiced up version of the chicken wing sumbission from the Back Grapple - Large Position. It's intended as a finisher for Mr. Bob Backlund so the stats are elevated.

Move Variations from the Original: Backlund's crazy head turns, looking around before a quicker grabbing animation, and locking the ankles around the opponent once on the ground.


Fun Move Facts:

Backlund lost a match to Bret Hart in the summer of 1994 and "snapped", putting Bret in the chicken wing submission and not wanting to let him out.

This feud culminated with Hart and Backlund meeing in a submissions match at Survivor Series 1994 where thanks to some foolery Backlund won the WWF title using the chickenwing!!

Would it be possible to make a version of this where the time before the referee checks for submission, and the time in the escape animation before they actually get out is extended a bit, to have Backlund just generally trapping people in it longer?

Agreed. They got that move over as a dangerous finish, and then they wasted all that build.

I agree with you two, Backlund could have gotten more run with that title, even a month or two would have been longer than three days, but I think they did a good job of building that chicken wing move and then not really doing enough with it.

Legit. Bob could have had an awesome heel run with faces chasing him for it, but they decided to go down another path.

One of wrestling's greatest crimes is that Bob never got a proper run with the title in 94. There were so few main event wrestlers around at that time and they'd really built him and the Chicken Wing to be a major threat. It would have helped Diesel if he could have built up a feud with a real heel leading into the Rumble too. Instead he was thrust into the top slot without warning, winning the title off-screen, and put into a face vs face title match against the most popular guy in the company.
