Probably a dumb question, but is Backlund’s finisher an atomic drop or an atomic knee drop? Card and the booklet are different Yes.  It's two different names for the same move. You can see an example here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEfZCsnuPGI |

From the move it looks like you will have a hard time standing up or walking.But is that enough to get an easy pin count?

Before he switched his finish to the chicken wing in mid-1982, Backlund beat nearly everyone with the atomic drop. Bob was so strong then he could even get the big guys like Studd and Mulligan up in the air for it. |

And HELD people there is exactly it... i remember him walking around the ring with guys... his atomic drop legit looked like it would end a match, it wasn't just a simple thing, lol... youtube it and check it out... i would STILL rather get his chickenwing than his Atomic Knee Drop |

I've definitely developed a new appreciation for Baclkund between watching his MSG and Philly stuff on YouTube and this set.
