Leading up to the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, there were reportedly times when Bob Backlund told officials he was going to back out of the ceremony. Apparently Backlund felt like he was going to be overshadowed by the other members of this year's class.

I don't care about that, it's like a kid game: "I don't want to be in this year's hall of fame promotion, I'll be overshadowed"

Inless if he was overshadowed by Bruno Sammartino it hard for him to overshadowed!

I thought he fit in well with this class. It was a great class but didn't have one guy that felt head an shoulders above the rest. Bruno may have been that guy but he is from too far back for his induction to feel special to most.

What sort of low life scumbags would boo that piece of ass?

I see his point, after so many years turning down inductions he finally accepts and there's Sammartino and others. And Backlund is a walking nervous breakdown, so no surprise there.
