JBL
I have a whole new respect for this guy, and for his work. In fact, I'd say he's one of the best heels in the WWE right now, and the passing of Eddie showed me that. Check out Bradshaw's comments about Eddie on WWE Unlimited, and you'll be reminded of just what kinda guy Eddie was.

Yes, it was very nice. Just remeber, JBL's year long title run just makes Eddie's title run look even more legit.

Would it be possible to give JBL a face role? Do you think he could win us over with those promo skills? |

Well, maybe it's just time passing from all the controversial stuff early in his run, but JBL's comment gaves me a new respect for him as well. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I've always said that if it wasn't for his backstage bullying stuff, I'd be a huge fan, because he's quite the entertaining character.
So maybe he's not that bad, I guess. Certainly has more love for wrestling than I ever gave him credit for. ![]() |

Didn't we all get over his backstage antics and the Goose-Stepping already? I thought most of us had made peace and gone on with the idea that he in one of the better heels currently...
But yeah, he is good. No god, but certainly good. And now I am off to go watch his unlimited segment. |

Yeah, I think we all swallowed a heaping helping of pride about 18 months ago?

Well, that's basically what I was saying. But at the same time, I'm not a bandwagon hopper, so I'm not just going to forget things for the sake of convenience.

But then, the same's true of Michaels. And I am a fan of HBK because he's fucking stellar. JBL is awesome on the mic, and I'm a fan despite the urge to kill. |

I think JBL could be a great face if given the chance to. But then again Smackdown would lack heels.

IT depends on how he did it. I think he could be a face, but he's so damned good as a heel (And Smackdown lacks them somehow bad)...

With Eddie's passing, I can't see any better time for a JBL face-turn.
Heels are easy to make... just clobber Batista with a chair. Good faces are few and far between, JBL's promo skills and brawling style could be enough. |

Naw, in all seriousness - JBL could be a very good face. He has all the qualities the WWE requires from their top guys. The method and manner how they'd turn JBL face would sure make for some entertaining television.

You could have him keep going with the whole "Mister Smackdown" Thing, and face off against Ken Kennedy...
Okay, I KNOW someone's gonna say it. |

I've been a fan of JBL from day 1. The only thing I hated about his title reign was that he never got ANY clean wins over anyone.

Yeah, I agree to an extent. But as much as I love technical wrestling, I will consider myself a Hogan mark(but not one that will defend him like he's Jesus). So I tend to give a little leeway to guys like JBL, Masters, etc. |

I just realised the last time I saw Eddie, Kennedy was bouncing a chair off his head. :sad:
...and then I realised that before that, he was doing his old laying on the mat feigning an illegal chair assault. Classic Eddie to the end. Anyway I can't see why JBL can't be a heel. We need Alenoid here to create some lengthy and twisted scenario which could compliment these ideas. |

Batista does exactly what it says on the tin. He does what is required of him and he's always improving. You can't really fault the guy

Sorry to mention them again. Just really loved them as a duo, even if Eddie was probably gonna lie, cheat, and turn heel. |
