Real or not, my respect for Joey just went up a whole lot.

I'm not trying to flamebait, but why is JBL a badass? I mean yeah he's big and sure he stiffs people in the ring a lot, but seriously in one "legit" fight he got PWNED.
That and he's been in FINANCE most of his off time. FINANCE.
I'm not saying he isn't tough at all, and yeah I'm sure he could beat my overweight butt into the ground, but where does all this "JBL Master Of The Universe" love come from? Methinks too many people buy into the persona of APA Bradshaw when he's probably more like the guy giving investment advice on Fox or whatever.
If you like him you can root for him, but I don't see why it's so unbelievable a man who isn't nine feet tall could land a punch on him.

Actually, the chant JBL should here is...
"Joey's gonna kill you. Joey's gonna kill you."

If you like him you can root for him, but I don't see why it's so unbelievable a man who isn't nine feet tall could land a punch on him. I think it has a lot to do with him being so big, and also an active wrestler. And Joey being small, and not an active wrestler. Joey, essentially, is that nerd in high school. He didn't play football. He commentated. He didn't work out in the gym. He was in the computer class. And the big jock, JBL, who was athletic, sporty, etc, picked on the somewhat nerdy guy, and the nerdy guy knocked down the big guy. I feel a lot of where this comes from is a sense of living through Joey Styles, but a lot of people know and understand the concept of bullying, even if it hasn't affected them directly. Trying to break in a younger talent and test them, the reason that's done is to see if they will crack. Because if they crack under the pressure of being on the road as an active wrestler, then they were eventually going to crack anyway, because they weren't mentally tough enough. They didn't want it enough. Brock Lesnar of course is the blaring example of that, where a lot of people got screwed over big time, and had to stay on the road to help the company. If you build a guy to be your top draw, and he cracks, then all that potential money, and everything that the company worked for to get the guy over, via bumping, and sacrificing themselves for maybe more money or opportunities down the line, that's all down the toilet. Joey Styles, on the other hand, isn't an active wrestler, and isn't going to crack because of travel and such because in reality, he doesn't need the job. They called him, it wasn't just in his worked-shoot promo. And not only that, but Joey is not in a position where he is drawing money. And it also goes to that, after all the stories that came out about him, the first guy to hit him because of this was, of all people, Joey Styles. So it adds a huge surprise value to the situation, and it almost makes people feel better about themselves, because if he could do it, I could it. And the fact that JBL was distant because of it, he may've learned a huge life lesson because of this, because he was embarassed. I feel this could grow as big as the Matt Hardy deal a few years ago, where people will chant Joey's name when JBL is around, and the fans, who either dislike him personally or dislike his character, will relish the fact that the man they dislike was humiliated in one of the worst possible ways. And JBL retaliating at Joey Styles is only gonna be damaging to him, because of who Joey Styles is. The former commentator of ECW, and the WWE.com webmaster. He's not an athlete. He's not a wrestler. He's just, an office guy. What, JBL's gonna beat up an office guy? He'd be foolish in doing that. So, he's at a place where he now has to swallow his pride, and it pleases a lot of people that he now must have some sense of humility.

Joey should have known his role and swollowed his pride and JBL's dick. I'm sure that's what you and Bradshaw would have loved to have had happen, but thankfully, Joey can defend himself against sexual assault. Sorry to ruin your fantasy.

If you guys want to take this to the realm of creepy fanfiction, go right ahead, but please keep it to PM.

In all honesty, Styles should have took the hazing like a man and be submissive. What he did to the wrestling God was uncalled for. I hope JBL rapes him in revenge. Yeah how dare Joey stand up for himself against a bully, who is twice his size and uses his stoke with company management in order to escape punishment for unprofessional behavior. If the story is true then It was a lucky punch no doubt. But if it makes JBL think twice against bullying younger talent then Styles should be commended for his actions.

I'm pretty sure he was joking.

People getting boners, not really realizing we know virtually nothing about JBL. Why do I say that? How often in shoots do people knock JBL? Not really very often, at least not that I've heard. Surely, if he's such a bully and jerk, it'd be said. Only thing he legitimately did wrong that anyone in wrestling brings up I know of was pick on Blue Meanie, and it ended up getting Blue Meanie exposure, money, and a short time job, so even that wasn't so bad. So, whether he's a prick or not, we really do need to come to terms with the fact none of us even know the guy, just who he portrays on television, and what dirt sheets claim.

On Terry Taylor's shoot, he talks about the time Public Enemy was brought in to WWE and got the crap kicked out of them by the APA only to be released days later. He was saying that he strongly regretted that ever happened. Not saying that JBL's did anything wrong, as I don't know the full story of what happened, but that's something that has come up fairly often.

Makes me wonder if it was a hazing, or a receipt, like when Holly beat the crap out of Dupree for getting him a ticket or the like.
