Joey Styles KO's JBL?
PWINSIDER.COM EXCLUSIVE: OH MY GOD - YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED IN IRAQ
by Mike Johnson @ 2008-12-09 09:52:29 One of the most newsworthy events that transpired on World Wrestling Entertainment's tour of Iraq last week took place nowhere near any of the cameras that were filming the tour. I was stunned at hearing the following story over the weekend and initially chalked it up to being just an urban legend, but as it turns out, it was completely accurate. Retired WWE announcer (and current WWE.com personality) Joey Styles punched out former WWE champion JBL in Iraq during an altercation between the two, busting JBL open under the eye. No, that is not a typo. As the story was initially explained to me (and all versions I've heard since have matched the original report I was conveyed), JBL made Styles something of a target because it was Styles' first tour of Iraq for the company and was hazing the former ECW announcer. I was told JBL was trying to bully Styles with a lot of condescending comments and actions, including allegedly spilling a drink on Styles on purpose. JBL was more or less pulling a lot of the shenanigans that a lot of of the performers in the company can't stand but deal with since he has the political stroke of being a tenured veteran. Several days into the tour, JBL (who by all accounts had been drinking) did something that caused Styles to physically retaliate in defense. A number of wrestlers stepped in between them and held the two apart. When JBL broke free, he went towards Styles, who "nailed him perfectly with a pretty good shot" according to one witness, laying JBL out and blackening his eye. There were no further incidents between the two on the tour after that. There were a number of performers who pointed out to me that the story was something of karma coming back to bite JBL in the rear because his antics had caused Smackdown talent Palmer Cannon to quit the company during a European tour (and Cannon wasn't the only victim of JBL's hazing over the years) as well as the famous ECW One Night Stand beating of the Blue Meanie during the PPV closing brawl inside the ring. At last night's Raw in Philadelphia, the story was the talk of the day among wrestlers, who were amazed by the incident. I was also told JBL was acting completely subdued at the taping, something absolutely out of character for him, as he knew the story was making the rounds. Styles, meanwhile, was trying to downplay the incident to those who brought it up to him at Raw. It was considered doubly embarrassing for JBL among the wrestlers since he was so involved with setting up the Iraq tours. In a strange way, some theorized the incident would get Styles over with Vince McMahon because it showed his "toughness" and could pave the way for his return to TV. I have no idea whether Styles' cameo last night was part of any direct result of the "Iraq Punchout", as it was termed to me. ![]() |

Well, I guess that's what you get for underestimating everybody. I was going to post the video of Richards giving that disgusting chair shot to JBL on Smackdown that one time but I can't find it. Rep to anyone that can. Many thought it was in defense of the meanie.

JBL got punked by someone half his size. JBL is a punk anyways, he only does this to people who he knows can't or won't doing anything in return, I'm guessing he thought Joey would be more of the same, only he got put on his ass.

Joey Styles is why the hardcore title should come back.
Or give him the IC strap. |

Knocked out though? I doubt it. I'm sure he probably got walloped though if he didn't antagonise Styles afterwards.

I think Joey Styles has proved that if JBL tries it...he will keep it.
Good for fucking Styles. It seems like perfect karma, and JBL has seemingly learned something from it. Styles is also handling the situation like a champ by downplaying it and not keeping his issues with JBL going. I miss Styles as an on-screen character. I'm not entirely sure that his appearance at the Slammys was because of this, as when I saw "OMG" and "Extreme" moments being announced as categories, I immediately thought of Styles as a presenter, but maybe we might get a few Styles appearances over the next few months. |
