As at least a partial answer to the eternal question of why the belt wasn't kept on Superstar, this show says he overdosed more than once (assumably while champion). The McMahons definitely knew about events like this. This was the kayfabe era. The media was always looking for a reason to attack the "fake sport." If a WWF Champion, much less a FACE champion, was arrested for drugs, or made the news in an overdose, that may have been curtains for the WWF/WWWF. The next thing the reporting would lead to would be an expose on how the matches were all fixed, during a time when the facade of it all being a legit sport was maintained religiously. This is why they had champions like Bruno, and Backlund, in the kayfabe era. They knew Backlund in particular could be pointed to as a great role model for kids, that he had a legit amateur background, and that he would definitely not overdose in a hotel room. The same with Bruno. Pedro Morales was reportedly a little wilder, though, and liked to gamble.
He didn't bend over for Vince in the gay ass entertainment business nothing is free even wrestlers have said that they was approach but certainly people and ask to do sexually favors to move up in the business well if you can see John Cena and the rock has become mega Stars in gaywood but they are gay and put on a dress many times without any shame

He was fine. He was nice to my family. Don't believe the hype. Like all of us, we hit a certain age the body fails. He took Steroids, etc. But, everyone in that era experimented. No excuses but he was a bit out there. Again, nice to us.
The biggest draw in wrestling loses to Bob Backlund by atomic drop?!? Then Vince Sr. put Backlund as champion for 6 years in New York. WHAT A DISGRACE!!!
“He didn’t know how to be the dad that he wanted to be”….. No man does, but we learn from trial and error, but we try. At least when your children get older they know that you tried, you may not have been the best ever but damnit you gave the best ever a run for their money.
11:23 that pic looks weird. Almost racist
I loved Steve Kiern as Skinner in the 90s. The fab ones were Ite…
His daughter aged well. Rip SBG

He was the blueprint of a true larger then life superstar. I remember his promos watching old VHS tape just hearing talk was something.
70s Graham was Hogan
80s Graham was Steiner

How was an Atomic Knee Drop a finisher???? LOL
Back when you could lose the championship on a atomic drop 😅
"It's not fair, my daddy sucked"
Losing to an atomic drop…
Bob Backlund is the Anti-Christ … based on this episode.
Thank you for all your dedication and sacrifice to entertain us Superstar
That’s the one thing i never got, it was Vince Sr that screwed him.
