Love Backlund's heel work, though his babyface character was meh. Either way, I always thought he brought it in the ring.

As for why he gets short shrift, I'd say being sandwiched between Bruno and the explosion of Hulkamania just dwarfs him in comparison to the other ball carriers of the past 55 years.
