Backlund remains somewhat unknown by casual fans league wide, but he is no longer a secret to any who study the game.
I doubt there is any GMs who do not know his name and value.
If you listened to that Gaudrea audio clip "Spitting Chicklets" even those characters make note of Backlund and Johnny also sung his praises.
