This guy was nuts.
I remember reading in Foley's book, that when Foley was younger he had met Bob Backlund and asked for an autograph. Bob had nothing to sign, so Mick gave him his address, and Bob Backlund sent him an autographed picture a few weeks later. That's pretty cool.
Now, onto Bob the wrestler. I never really got to see the 80's version of Backlund, I got to see his run with the WWF when he feuded with Bret Hart and played the lunatic. I hated him and he even scared me a bit. I loved when he used to randomly snap during interviews and put the crossface chicken wing on people.
Also, he had a learning problem growing up, so he used to study really big words, and memorize them, so he'd try and incorporate them into every conversation he had.
