“Hall of Famer” JBL

[DiBiase is Good]

Before he was introduced to commentate on the Men’s Rumble match, the graphic said “Hall of Famer” above JBL.

So, is it a flat-out mistake?
Did they jump the gun and he’ll be announced tomorrow or soon?

I’m not a fan of JBL the person but I actually don’t have an issue with him being in the HoF.

He's HOF worthy, but in my book he's more like a HALL OF LAMER!

Might have been a mix up since King was coming out at the same time, but seriously though he’s one of those guys that I think went into the HoF years ago. He’ll probably go in this year.

[Mozenrath]

I wonder if they'll induct him just as himself, or do the APA together. Either works, really, though singular might make more sense given Ron's in already, anyway.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Probably a mix up due to King but in saying that since they did it, maybe JBL gets in this year

Thought he been went in tho

Eh, they referred to Taker as a HOFer on some email recently.

They’re both going in one day, so it doesn’t really matter.

I hope he is in the HoF this year. Deserves it and the speech will be a lot of fun.

[Doctor No]

He is definitely on the level of Vince’s old limo driver. APPROVED👍🏻

[DASH 243✅]

He deserves to go in just for hitting Hornswoggle with the garbage can.

[Deleted]

He’s Just a Big Loser.

[Rumble McSkirmish]

If he does get in he better bring the inflatable Godzilla toy on stage with him during his acceptance speech.

I want JBL to make it just so he could spout off his own Wikipedia stats before he has to give his speech.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

The character? Absolutely. The human being? No f***ing way.

Can we stop calling James Dudley this?

Yes, he drove Vince Sr's limo and was his bodyguard but that is not all he did.

he was with the company since JESS McMahon, he was a manager, he was the first African American in charge of a major arena, and did a ton of stuff backstage so basically by all accounts is basically the type of guy that Warrior was talking about getting a special award when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I see ron simmons doing the intro speech- would be the shortest ever. "My old drinking buddy Bradshaw in the hall of fame well... (30 second pause) DAMN!" <walks off>

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

They'll name an award after him called the Soapy Knuckle, I'm sure.

As career accomplishments go, he's pretty much an inarguable entry even without Koko wrecking the curve. APA Bradshaw could get in on his own.

[Woo]

Well since Ron is already in there he should get a solo induction. Flair going in twice has opened a can of worms and I hope that doesn't happen again.

C’mon man...you can’t use facts when someone’s trying to push a narrative in the WWE section

They did also screw up and announce King when the camera was on JBL, so this seems pretty plausible.

He did a lot of stuff backstage, I just don’t believe that the hall of fame should have employees, I think it should be reserved for performers. I would have the problem I have with James Dudley being in the hall of fame, if they inducted Kevin Dunn.
