jbl must be the last heel than i really hate Only for that, i consider than he deserves to be in the position that now has Anyway, sometimes i feel than he has Real Heat and others is a kind of xpac heat I don't believe in X-Pac heat in the slightest. If you're getting heat, and you're a heel, you are doing your job. |

Oh, JBL is definitely one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Seriously, his feud with Shawn Michaels was damn awesome at that, and he's proven that he can have some really damn good matches with the A guys. Like that main event with JBL vs Triple H.
Plus, JBL is awesome in the sense that he really knows how to piss people off, and he's damn good at doing it.
Let's appreciate the Wrestling GAWD!

Any wrestler doing the Fall Away Slam in their common repertoire is good in my book.

Then that's pretty unfortunate. Apparently your character has some sort of dislikable quality about it, or you're just such absolute garbage in the ring that whether you're a mark or a smark, it's obvious. That doesn't happen often at all, though. Last legit example I can personally think of was Blue Chipper Rocky Maivia. |

I'm all for JBL, especially as IC champion.
If he defends at 'Mania and retains, then here's to a long title reign, to fiinally restore some credibility to the title that's been missiing for so long.

HOW is getting people to change the channel his job? |

It's not, but there's usually SOMEBODY that'll make someone change the channel. I've always been a fan of Pac, to be honest. |

I've always been a fan of Pac, to be honest. *nods* this is true in WCW, it was Ernest Miller, until I heard that classic exchange between Schiavone and Heenan, paraphrased, tho not exact-quoted below Schiavone: He's not the godfather of soul! Hennan: Well why don't you go in the ring and rip that cape off of him? |

Bahahah.
Heenan was always pure gold. Even when he was supposedly phoning in it in WCW, he was spectacular.

No kidding.
The only thing I dislike about JBL's current run is that I miss him on commentary.

I will always love JBL. Always good for at least some good television a week. I miss him on commentary, but I love him in the ring.
It's great to see a heel who you can tell could care less if a single fan thinks of him as "cool". He will not be denied heat.

JBL is simply amazing. Sure he isn't the best in the ring, but he's good enough to keep me watching. And with the right opponent/stipulation he can be great.
He is possibly the best man on the mic they've had in a long time and can generate amazing heat.
Plus his moveset is the ultimate heel moveset. Slow methodical moves that annoy you to see but without boring you.
IE. the smuggness of his Fallaway Slam, his apathetic Big Boot, how he hits Elbow drop after elbow drop after elbow drop after elbow drop after elbow drop, or his repeating neckbreakers (especially his WM21 match with Cena). Sure he hasn't got the biggest moveset, but it works for him amazingly.
He really is A WRESTLING... GAWD and a true AMERICANNNNNN HEEERO

He pretty much does everything right. |

The only complaint I have about JBL the wrestler is his clear lack of stamina. But I love his moveset. And his character is briliance.
I do wish he'd commentate again, though.

He's a heat magnet. Good wrestler, great on the mic. Yep, I appreciate that.
