[6.0] "A fine showing of Bob Backlund in front of the Houston crowd for the first time as WWF Champion. A pretty by the books babyface vs heel scenario with the all american wrestling stand out taking on a crazy islander. Nothing special but all the same a fun match to showcase Backlund and a good showing from Afa bumping a fair amount."
