JBL's In-Ring Career Over?

[Mr. JL]

So, whats this news all about. I haven't watched wrestling, or more specifically Smack Down! in a long while. I've read at a few sites that he's officially done with wrestling, and will now just be the colour commentator for Smack Down!

When the hell did this happen, and why did he retire? I know he had something funky wrong with his back years and years ago.

SO whats the story, or did he just get sick of wrestling ala Chris Jericho?

[Ben Rodrigues]

Back, neck or shoulder injury... I forget which one.

[Ben Rodrigues]

And to my understanding yes he is done with wrestling.

[Londoner]

I thought he was just having some time off. But I can understand why he would be sick of wrestling.

[Kane Knight]

You often get sick of things you suck at.

[Skippord]

Thank god he is done wrestling

[Fox]

Now, if only he would develop permanent laryngitis (i.e. throat cancer).

Respect the skills.

[Kane Knight]

He's a TNA mutant. Forgive his retardation.

[Xero]

He's a WCW 2.5 mutant. Forgive his retardation.

[Afterlife]

See, tonight, JBL was spot-on. But many nights, he does far too much screaming and repeating.

Much like half of the other announcers on TV.














Note how I didn't confine that to any one brand or promotion.

[Corkscrewed]

He's still the best announcer on RAW or SD. He's good for a couple of good lines every show still.

Like "Last week they defeated Scotty 2 Hotty as well as Funaki, who is from Korea."

Don West never yells without reason :shifty:

[Londoner]

So does JBL. During GAB JBL was a bit annoying.

[Kane Knight]

Don West never yells without reason :shifty:

It's just his reason is "Impact! or a PPV is on."
