Sarah,

I got all the way back with the WWE when Bob Backlund was the champion the first time (1984) before he lost to the Iron Sheik. That was when WWF at that time first got on the USA Network. WWF replaced Southwest Championship Wrestling from San Antonio on the USA Network in that time slot.

Now that got that annoying as hell Nexus(Hope John Cena and his crew can win on Sunday), I’m actually beginning to like Randy Orton, he is nuts, but in a good way

Backlund, at least up until a few years ago, lives in Glastonbury and has dabbled in politics himself. His entire platform was literacy. I'm not even sure which party he aligned himself with, but he was always a very nice, approachable, somewhat goofy guy to run into at a local watering hole or bookstore.
