So, Bob Backlund is your daddy and I'm gonna ramble about a Bob Backlund comp and make whiskey references!!

Title says it all, really. Been toying with the idea of starting one of these for a little while, and a great man -- a sober man -- convinced me to go ahead and do it since there might actually be a market for drunken idiots like me talking about something as goofy as pro-wrestling. "Hey, you should totally start a blog. And make it about WRESTLING!" Totally. Gonna start watching some BACKLUND later and I'll update this as I go. Should be interesting to see how long I can keep it up before I lose interest. Or just forget it even exists... Latter, probably. I'll update this post as I watch/talk about the comp as I go.
