Would you agree that Legendary Former WWE Champion Bob Backlund is still the Champion?? I say this because he was never pinned nor did he ever give up. When the title did change hands to the Iron Shiek and Bret Hart, Backlunds old manager threw in a towel. Bob Backlund is still the WWE Champion. Please correct me if im wrong. Backlund was never pinned nor did he give up? Feedback please

Yes Bob Backlund should still be the champ i think McMahon had Skaaland throw in the towel so he could start the long run with
the Hulkster or as some would say the pukester! Hulk Hogan made the WWf alot of money!

Using that logic Bret Hart & Backlund should be Co- Champions

It's like when Owen Hart's mother threw in the towel for Bret. When a manager throws in the towel than the person has given up and therefore relinqueshes the title. Simple as that.

I don't know about wrestling or the transfer of a title - but if the manager threw in the towel, I think that ends the reign.

if the towel is threw in you lose. The towel is a way your manager can stop the match because he feels his man may be to hurt to go on.

You don't have to only be pinned or tap out in order to lose the match or championship. If your manager throws in the towel, then that's it, you lose.

Absolutely not. He was beaten via pinfall during his second title reign. In fact, he was beaten in 8 seconds by Disel (Kevin Nash). Therfore, that should negate the whole thing.

I agree, if the guy never got pinned or gave up he is still the champ!!!
