Diesel Power

By Scott Keith on August 8, 2013

What was the rationale behind the Bret-to-Backlund-to-Diesel transition? If the end goal was Diesel getting the belt, why not just have him win the Rumble and take it off Bret at Wrestlemania 11? They could have done Razor-Shawn II for the IC title too. With Bigelow-LT drawing the mainstream attention, they could have really showcased their top four guys in showstealing matches. Did Vince owe Backlund or something?

——————————-
Yup. He was basically throwing Mr Backlund a bone for his previous years of service. Not much more to it than that.
