This week STICK TO WRESTLING is joined by Steve Generalli, a knowledgeable longtime WWF fan. In the second segment of a two part series, we talk about the Most Valuable Players of the Bob Backlund era, year by year. We cover:<\/p>\n

–Captain Lou Albano, and how if managers qualified for the MVP he might have won it in 1982.<\/p>\n

–Magnificent Muraco’s arrival in 1981, and how he looked like the next Superstar Billy Graham.<\/p>\n

–Pedro Morales becoming the rock-solid number two babyace in the WWF.<\/p>\n

–1983 feeling like reruns with tried and true stars like Sgt. Slaughter, Magnificent Muraco, The Samoans, and more coming back.<\/p>\n

–Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito being absolute heat machines in the territory.<\/p>\n

–How Greg Valentine’s return in 1981 looked like the end for Bob Backlund.<\/p>\n

And more, plus Steve and I give you the top five on our WWF MVP ballot for 1981, 1982, and 1983, so what are you waiting for? DOWNLOAD AND LISTEN TO this wicked good bad boy!<\/p>\n

Stick To Wrestling- give us sixty minutes and perhaps indeed, we’ll give you a rawbone podcast.<\/p>\n
