If you had told me a few years ago that I would eventually nominate an Inoki v Backlund Broadway as a GME contender I would have laughed in your face. But here we are: The Immovable Chin v The Unstoppable Duck Arse
I find Backlund to be more palatable when he is in a catch/shootstyle setting, really struggling over holds and searching for chinks in his opponent's armour. The first two falls have great back-and-forth exchanges while the third heats up and features a wild over-the-shoulder backbreaker from Bob. Eat your greens kids!
PS if anyone has a link to their 12/14/78 bout a link would be appreciated
