And then you woke up dreamer. Face it Bob Backlund could break anyone in half if he wanted to shoot on them.. Bob was scientifically the greatest Champion in The WWF.
The Hangman was Neil Guay from Quebec. He was also super destroyer Mark III in the AWA. He was a generic big guy heel who wasn't great in the ring. The title shots with Backlund were probably the peak of his career. The year after he was reduced mostly to lower card matches against guys like SD Jones and Rick McGraw with him mostly losing. He was using a neckbreaker sort of hold at this time that they called the "hangman".

Does anyone know what hold The Hangman used?

Not a good look. This is the only time I saw him with it. Changed his persona. Vince, Sr probably told him to shave it off.
