Always a baffling move, but I think it was pointed out on a previous SCG podcast that George Foreman became Heavyweight Champion at 45 that year, and Backlund was the same age at the time. With that logic, it begins to make sense as to why they used Backlund as the transitional champion to Diesel, since he had already won it before.
