JBL is Gold.

And hey... if they aren't going to give the title back to Eddie or Angle... really there's no one else I'd rather see as champ.

Where did the hate come from? When we found out he couldn't win a match cleanly to save his life.

Though as of late...I'm likeing JBL. I just want the damn title off of him.

Because he sucks in the ring.

Okay, here's my deal:

I have been VERY impressed by Badshaw's work since Farooq left. I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to say that. I was wrong, and it's damn good. The main problem here is, sometime, he's got to get back in the ring. That's gonna suck. It's gonna be like sex with no finish. Feels good til the end.

I've always have, and still kind of do like JBL. If it wasn't for the whole Nazi Walk situation.

I actually care very little about the goose step sitch in terms of liking or hating the character. The WWE and the man himself, that's a different story.

I never praised JBL's in-ring work, but there are plenty of pieces of shit wrestlers such as Big Show, Mark Henry, Yokozuna who had much less mic skill than JBL and were/are just as shitty in the ring. JBL isn't really all that bad if you put him in the right matches, but just don't expect a 5 star technical match.

I think he's amazing on the mic, and not-to-bad a wrestler either. (His matches with Eddie, Booker T, Undertaker and Angle have been amazing imo).

He has charisma no doubt, not of the likes of Christian or Jericho...however I still don't like him, since it takes slightly more then being good on the mic to make me beleive he deserves to hold the belt that he has been holding onto.

Justin Hawk Something.. I forget his real name. I don't like him.

JBL, he owns.

I liked JBL...its just that I didnt think he could pull of being the Heavyweight Champ. Lets face it all we really mostly saw of this guy before was APA. Not many people remember the early years of him...I DO. But the APA is what most people remember. After he dropped that and became JBL the character didnt seem like it would take off. Sadly I love the character now...not in that way...and hopefully he might get another title run instead of losing it to Cena at Mania and then dropping off into the lower cards like Beniot did. Damn WWE

Simmons should come back and kill JBL.


Oh, and I have a question. My friend says that JBL and Bradshaw aren't the same person. Is that true? Same goes with Kane. I don't believe him, but I decided to come to the best source..

JBL is easily one of my favorite heels, and his mic skills are WWE champ material.

His matches are midcard worthy at most though. :(

What do you mean "aren't the same person?"

The character clearly evolved from Justin Bradshaw to JBL on screen, so I'd say that they were the same people. When Farooq was fired, BRadshaw started on his celbrity kick and evolved from there.

If you mean the same guy playing the parts, both Kane and JBL are played by the same people who played old Kane and the APA Bradshaw.

There have been 13 Undertakers. One for each Wrestlemania appearance. Once the newest one dies of a Heart Attack after WM212, we will be on Taker the 14th...

Honestly, a year a go...

Hell, I can't even remember if I typed out captions today for Smackdown!, much less called him "Badshaw" on purpose a year ago.

He did something at the post-WM 20 party that pissed the higher-ups off. I forget.

He's great on the mic, but I've always put felt in ring ability was more important than mic work, thus I still don't think he's that great of a champion, granted Cena will not be much better.

Cena will be:

1--More over with the fans: This is a natch, since he's a face and JBL's a heel.

2--winning some credible victories: Since this character really needs to be built that way.

3--A lateral step in wrestling skill, but more entertaining.

Nope, not much better. :nono:
