So essentially, I've divided him between his character and real life. I love his character; his promo skills are some of the best in the business, surprisingly, and he's got tons of charisma. His heel promo was perfect last night, using the perfect phrases that just naturally rile people up.
But in real life, he's a total insensitive bigot.
Also, the fact that he STILL is not credible in my eyes says a lot. To date, how many clean wins has he had against midcarders? Either one or none. A main eventer, even if he's a heel, should have some solid wins under his belt, but JBL does not. He should be able to cleanly pin a guy like Hardcore, but he pretty much hasn't. His only true wins are against cruisers. Every one of his main event wins have been through shady means.
Vince thinks that if JBL holds on to the belt long enough, people will think that he's a credible main eventer, but honestly, for me, I think he's lowered the prestige of the title.
