JBL's run at that late in his career was amazing.he was so friggen obnoxious, plus he was a bad ass. My favourite wrestler of all time.

Chill out there FourFifty

Fourfifty hated JBL. It's a well known fact.

JS you are like one of 5 people who ejoyed HHH's run in the early-mid 2000s. 3 of those 5 people were HHH, Steph and Vince.

I enjoyed most of it.

I was there for that Rumble match, thanks for reminding me about that

Was going to get tickets to that Royal Rumble for Christmas, but didn't. Whooo didn't have to see that.

That match made the already amazing Angle/Benoit match seem 100x better.

Hanso, I never said JBL had a bad run you stupid mother fucker. I just said HHH's heel run was better.

Nope, it was terrible. We win.

No need to get so grumpy just because everyone is insulting HHH.

Maybe this post was in jest, but saying this seems to me like you are saying his run wasnt great.

HHH in 2003-2005 was basically Jarrett in TNA from 2003-2008. Horrible, pushing down the throat of a Heel that no one cares about.

HHH was the least appealing arc of Evolution. Flair, Bats and Orton were fucking amazing. HHH was just meh.

Seriously HHH's worst years were 2003/2004. Before and after he was at his best.

JBL had also been with the company for ages and had established himself as a big, tough brawler.

We should change this to a JBL appreciation thread. The Best Heel Champion of the 2000s.

Two of Gertner's favorite things:

I agree with you there.
That whole era felt lazy and predictable to me - it seemed like HHH was content to just coast through every match until Evolution interfered and helped him win.

But yeah, like you said, before and after were pretty good, I particularly enjoyed HHH's work during the Mcmahon-Helmsley era, it seemed to bring out the best in him.

They should be friends, not enemies.

Slater was so fucking gold during that

god damn that is such a gross clothesline.

Rollermacka needs to study JBL and his clothesline.

GOD DAMMIT THAT IS A LARIATTTTOOOOOOOOOOO

Almost as good as

DAMN iNATOR shifty ahead
 

the name of the move tells me otherwise :shifty:

I refuse to lump JBL's glorious lariat in with Randy Orton's and RVD's respective clotheslines.

LARIATOOOOOOO FROM HELLOOOOOOOO

Just got sidetracked by youtubing Stan Hansen and ended up watching Stan Hansen vs. Hogan in 1990. Nice.

This is a factual statement.

Anyways, to stay on topic: Kassius Ohno or something.

I just never dug him. I agree that without the top guy in HHH the group doesnt work, and he did put Bats over - the Batista feud was amazing and where he turned back into Top notch HHH. Just feel like during the whole Evolution run HHH was Meh while the rest of the group was stellar. Im sure he played a huge role in mentoring them and making them stars, as did flair, but his on screen performance was still meh to me.

I'll agree with Lawler - that was possibly the best Clothesline from Hell JBL ever did.

Slater sold that like a champ.

Btw JBL's Clothesline From Hell > Stan Hansen's Lariat. Half of Hansen's Lariat's were shoulder block with hiis arm sticking out.

Can't ignore the camera work on that JBL clothesline there either. We as the audience essentially move with JBL's momentum. Pretty much everything works really well in that one little spot.

Guys, let us not forget that Karl Malone rassled. One of the great clotheslines ever

I can't imagine what it must feel like to take. Clothesline From Hell. Seems like it'd suck big time.

Feel like Triple H established credibility to the world heavyweight title.

In the interest of making this a JBL Appreciation Thread, behold the greatest night in hsi career.
