@onthisdayinwwe: Just 3 days after winning the WWF Title - Bob Backlund shockingly loses it to Big Daddy Cool! It wasn't on TV or PPV - but a house show at Madison Square Garden (the spiritual home of the WWF.) We only learnt about the title change on Superstars a week later - thought the episode shown earlier in this day announced Diesel as number one contender and built up their feud. On the next Superstars we saw this short clip and Vince announcing: “In a record setting 8 seconds, Diesel becomes the new WWF Champion “Big Daddy Cool becomes the new face of the World Wrestling Federation Generation!” On Kliq This, Kevin Nash explained his rapid rise: “My thing is this, I went from fucking Oz to having the IC, Tag, and World Title in three years. "The reason I got everything | did was after the drug trials. "I read someone say ‘You’re a good-looking giant dude — that’s why you got to where you got.’ "No fucking shit! I was the biggest dude. I was lean and clean. That’s why I got pushed.” And Nash also addressed some of the critics of his reign: "Even though I was the lowest-drawing champion of all time or whatever people want to say about me, l still am the longest-reigning champion in the 1990s which [includes] the Attitude Era. "I just happened to be the president during the depression. "I wouldn’t change it." #onthisdayinwwe
