Jibble during his run was VICIOUS on the mic

[Singh]

I thought I had erased my memory of what jibble did to HBGoat only he could of survived that

Jibble regressed in-ring wise when he dipped from the APA but his promo game went up by 10 notches. I remember trippin out like "wtf why didn't they let dude go in like this before?"

anyway dude deserves a lot more credit homie was a holdin it down in the E and CNBC

unfortunately that nazi shyt derailed his wave to an extent

I give JBL credit, his promos were but I'm missing the "underrated" part, how was he underrated when he was clearly over as a heel and was given a long run with the title?

He was lucky his promos skills got him to the level that he was at, because that was really his only real strength since his in-ring work was pretty average and he had no notable matches to speak of outside of the bloodbath with Eddie, and maybe a couple matches with Undertaker. I think a lot of times LOOKING BACK, on stuff like this make them appear to be greater than they really were when they were current, especially compared to how things are now for the most part. I guess in a couple years, we're going to be talking about Big Show's underrated 2012 main event run

What about the bloodbath he had with Cena?

The only notable in-ring thing I can remember about Big Show on demand like that is the kip up he did in WCW, had me like

Little known fact about JBL is that WWE was going to release a shirt/merch for him but he flat out refused because he didn't want anyone wearing anything supporting him as was a heel.

Guy gave up extra money to stay in character

I hated this mothefukker

Looking back though that means he did his job well. Most heels try to be cool rather than be hated now a days.

Anyone remember when Taker busted him through his limo roof and he came out next smackdown in a damn traction head piece

I was fortunate to be at Summerslam in 2004 against the Undertaker for the WWE Championship which I held at the time. Undertaker, the ULTIMATE professional, offered to put me over clean-1, 2, 3 right in the middle. I disagreed.

I felt that if I won anything that I would start to lose my ability to be a heel, people would see that I could win matches and some would start to cheer for me. This is why I never had any merch of my own-I never wanted anyone to buy something and other fans see that I had fans. I had a shirt come out once and quickly had it killed.

BTW, this is also why I always kept up KayFabe everywhere-airports, bars, hotels, etc. I always played the heel. When I broke in you had to do that, and that was left over from my early days-nowadays that seems stupid, but when I started we all played our role 24/7 and I still had that in me when I was with WWE. The thinking being-if someone sees you and you are nice (though a nasty heel on TV), then they won’t boo you as loud as if they really believed you were a heel in real life.

I objected to winning and came up with the idea to be chokeslammed through my own limo, after the match. Vince and Undertaker agreed once they realized why I didn’t want to win anything, but rather cheat and get DQ’d repeatedly to win and, hopefully, keep the heat I had.

Here’s where the fun starts. A limo was built with a crash pad and breakaway roof for me. However, at the building were two limos.
I am standing in the ring by the ring announcer. I always did this because when Undertaker’s lights went off, invariably someone would throw something at me-and as a rib I wanted Chimel to get hit! I see in the back that a drunk has jumped the rail and run over the limo-and didn’t fall through. So, I believe that they have brought out the wrong limo.

There is no one to tell, we are live and can’t stop anyway. No one sees this but me, everyone is watching the Undertaker. So I wrestle for over half an hour thinking at the end of the match I am going to get hurt very badly. So, the end comes and Taker looks at me and all I can say is “Bye Bye”, stupid I know-but I think I am about to end my career or at least get hurt badly.

I go right through the limo like I was supposed to, not hurt at all. Taker, backstage, asks me why I looked so strange and for the first time I tell him and everyone else what had happened. Sure enough right there on the tape is the guy, security grabbed him but didn’t think to tell anyone because no one knew the limo was gimmicked.

At the last minute our stunt guy, Ellis, had put some extra stitches in the roof and we believe that is why the guy didn’t fall through. Me? I thought for over half an hour I wouldn’t fall through either.

Ill read man props...there arent heels like this anymore. It says alot about the state of the product and idk if its because these guys dont have the heel ness in them or the higher ups wont let them go full heat getting heel.

I wish this didnt come off like a thread remembering shyt differently than they were. This dude was a heat magnet and I doubt anybody could pull off what he did that time his music llayed for what felt like 15 mins and all he did was raise his hand. The crowd was eating it up dude was a smarmy prick....


Why wont they put the effort into getting over a heel like this these days? Im not talking about some up and coming guy winning the title then looking like a goof his whole reign, then losing the belt then becoming a midcard joke either

If you've never been to a WWE show live, then you have no idea just how obnoxious that shyt is. Deafening noise, smoke everywhere, hell, they might have been booing that more than JBL himself.

Still a great and hilarious heel tactic.
