Maybe Seth82 or Kayfabeman can shed some light on this. I had heard things here and there regarding Backlund's title reign. From what SBG stated, Vince Sr was very hard headed and didn't want to admit that Backlund wasn't a good draw, even though there were pictures of Howdy Doody in the crowd of MSG. I have seen the cage match between Patterson and Backlund and the crowd seemed hot for it.

The credibility of wrestlers back then is a bit sketchy at best since Billy Graham hates Vince Jr and the WWE, and Bruno isn't one for shoots, and we all know how big of a blowhard Laryy can be.
