Justin Roberts recently did a Q&A with Reddit.com to promote his new book. Here are a few highlights regarding JBL:
What was the absolute worst thing you’ve witnessed JBL do?
"He terrorized guys. It’s funny because people are bringing this up now because of the stuff going on now and the book release, but this was like 2003-2004; it was a long time ago. He terrorized me, and a lot of guys. He’d make life hell for a lot of guys. He chewed Miz and Morrison out after they won the titles for not celebrating enough. He was eventually let go back then, and when he came back he was a lot better, but he was mostly only showing up for TV. Even now, it comes across on commentary with how he is with Byron."
Did he have a group of people helping him terrorize people or did he work alone?
"He had a group. He was like the leader, and he pretty much had a cabinet, just like on TV. They followed him and did what he asked. It was him vs. ‘the new guys’ He had taken my passport out of my bag, and the next tour I guarded it with my life. On the flight back, Orlando Jordan told me he would watch my back and I should go to the gift shop. I didn’t take his advice. I also remember being told I had to bring beer to the guys on the plane, but I got out of that, luckily."
JBL also responded

*tries to refute story of him being a bully*
*calls person accusing him of it an idiot and says everyone hates him*
Hmm... that checks out.

Where there's smoke, there's often fire. And there's been a lot of smoke over the years with JBL. I was a fan of his for a time, but I've find him to be absolutely dreadful and counterproductive on commentary for the last several years.
While there is undoubtedly some modicum of sour grapes in most former personnel's stories, I don't have a particularly hard time believing that much of what is said about JBL is true.

Heyman summed up the career of this joke with one sentence.

JBL was a mid carder most of his career so how did he get away with all of this?

JBL has always been doing stuff like this. I remember there would be stories like this 10+ years ago about JBL.

There's SOOO many horror stories told by multiple talent that were employed by WWE about JBL. If you have that many people who think you're a scumbag, he had to have done something.
Never liked JBL at any point of his career. The dude sucked in the ring, and til this day I'm astonished he held the wwe title for over 8 months. His only saving grace was being cool with Taker and being a suck-ass to Vince. Yeah I'll give the dude credit on the mic, but that's about it.
His commentary is absolutely atrocious as well.

I've known plenty of guys like JBL. They're d**ks till they realize you'll stand up for yourself. Once you do, they move on to a weaker victim. And then they'll treat you like one of the guys. I don't think JBL does it to be malicious, it's just the way things were when he broke in. He's too old school for his own good.
When I was a kid my grandfather's wise words were... "Don't take s**t from anyone". He was right. As I grew those words that have gotten me into trouble, but they've also got me out of a lot too.

Also he gave Mauro I lot of Sh*t for being Bipolar Lol at CM Punk being in this of all videos. And JBL is a total prick for what he's done to people over the years. I bet there are plenty of current guys that have stories about him being a total bunghole too, but they're just afraid to come forward about it because of his high position in the company. Also, picking on someone for being bi-polar is just low. Someone just needs to stand up to Bradshaw and knock him the out. |
