Stevie hitting the grand slam on JBL's head is one of the most satisfying moments in wrestling history.
I've never understood the JBL thing, either. Looked like sh*t, wrestled like sh*t, and was never a credible main event guy even when he was given the moon. His commentary is only more bearable than Otunga. Guy seems like a real piece of sh*t human being on top of it. I guess it's just the good ol boy in Vince.

I've never heard a single positive story about JBL.

-- The way it seems, JBL reminds me of O'Banien from "Dazed & Confused"; a bully, but good to have backin' ya.
Met him and Ron years ago, he was cool with me so can't really say anything bad about his personality. Anytime he's done bullying, it's come back to him. Blue Meanie and Joey Styles, wish Public Enemy could've gotten their receipts.
But as with any bully, stomp'em into a fine powder and they won't be bullying you anymore.

This is from Bob Holly's book about when Bradshaw tried his shtick on Steve Blackman.

Meh, JBL is still awesome. As a wrestling heel, sure. As a commentator, he's atrocious. I can't judge him as a person because I don't know enough but from what we've heard, it's not good either.

Oh chit how did I forget that one? Steven Richards too with the chair shot. Obviously that didn't teach him anything though lol. For those interested: Stevie knew what he was doing! He made sure that the high part of the chair would hit JBL's head to bust him open. Pay back is a bitch from One Night Stand apparently!

If wrestling were any other type of real business, where people should be held accountable for their actions, Bradshaw would've been fired long ago and probably disappeared. I "get" if he was "younger" and doing this in the mid to late 90s but if he's still doing it in the era where Justin Roberts was around then it's inexcusable. Obviously guys like Blackman and Styles haven't changed Bradshaw any. It would take a bunch of guys all ganging up on him at once to fully put a stop to him.
I love watching the end of Brawl For All and seeing Bart Gunn take him out in less than a few minutes. After all, according to one of the WWF writers (Prichard I think but could be mistaken), BFA came about due to Bradshaw claiming he could beat any WWF wrestler in a bar fight. You could tell by the look on his face losing the match, Bradshaw's thinking "this will kill my image" but NOPE, he just keeps on doing his thing. It doesn't surprise me he's a financial analyst for a TV network who's main star is continually being named in harassment scandals.

This is from Bob Holly's book about when Bradshaw tried his shtick on Steve Blackman. Steve Blackman is awesome! After reading this story, I should definitely meet him when he comes to Queens for Big Event in November! On a side note, Tracy Smothers challenged JBL to a real fight after what he did to Meanie at One Night Stand. Of course JBL didn't respond. You know how badly Smothers would whoop JBL?

Bas would f*ck up JBL worse than Bart Gunn, Steve Blackman and Joey Styles did.

Things not going well with your cousin? what you did there, I saw it but being serious though, Bob Holly was and still is a legit A-hole backstage, not sure if he was worse than JBL, however, Holly got his due since Lesnar sandbagged him into oblivion I think Holly seems to have gotten cooler as time went on but what he did to Matt on tough enough definitely should've been a criminal case of assault, or whatever the legal terms may be. Of course, since it's wrestling, it's glossed over as "boys being boys" or "paying dues." Having watched the tough enough when it aired, it was obvious something was wrong. It wasn't part of the show. Now, some of the veterans have done shoots on the subject and chalk it up to the "dues" or proving that Matt wasn't cut out for the business. As for Holly in relation to JBL. What did they ever have going for them? Holly for the most part was on the lowest end of the card. Bradshaw could be classified as slightly higher, maybe mid-card but certainly nowhere near star power until he teamed with Ron Simmons. It's really too bad the Blue Meanie incident happened so quickly, it would've been a sweet site to see if the ECW guys all just ganged up on Bradshaw and if he got seriously injured, just chalk that up to the old "boys will be boys" excuse. I get that a newcomer has to "pay the dues" so to speak. All wrestlers need to know they will be protected by their opponents and that seems to be the veterans mindset but if it is, then the guys like Holly and Bradshaw don't deserve a spot on the card.

Bobby Fulton, of Fantastics fame posted a meme (I guess that's what it's called) on facebook about #fireJBL. Pretty cool seeing that from Bobby, a truly good guy in wrestling. More guys really need to come together against JBL, he's 50 years old acting still acting like a college fraternity leader.
