JBL has officially retired

I swear to god, if a wrestler isn't a technical genius, he gets blasted by the IWC. There is more to being a great wrestler than being able to chain together a bunch of sunset flips. The guy had great in ring psychology. He styled himself after Stan Hanson, and added his own twist in the cowardly heel. And I might add it was a long time since we had seen a cowardly heel champion, let alone played so well. Finally, nobody liked the decision to make JBL champ. Even I hated him at the time, and was not open at all to the change. But the fact that he swayed me, and so many other people is a credit to just how great a performer he really is.

So yes, this IS a great loss to proffesional wrestling.
