- Dull indeed. As far as a personality for Backlund to play off of,
- what about Flair (assuming he can wrestle)? Flair, the Styling [tm],
- Profiling [tm], Limousine-ridin' [tm], Jet-flyin' [tm], son-of-a-gun
- [tm] who's all night long [tm] vs. the soft-spoken howdy-doody family
- man with family values [tm]. The real win here is that these are two
- men in their 40's who could provide 45-60 minutes of solid wrestling.
