I only sporadically watch current WWE, but most agree JBL is not the same as he was when he was on Smackdown!. I'm watching Armageddon, and JBL is just FURIOUS over the Inferno match. Righteous anger. They cut away to announce a Diva lingerie match, and when they come back JBL brushes it off and continues to rail again Teddy Long and the fans who wanted to see something like the Inferno match. I can't imagine current JBL doing that; not a single word about beautiful woman coming up. And right after that is the ladder match where Mercury is destroyed, and JBL has some of the most impassioned commentary I can remember as Nitro goes for the title. And that's someone he doesn't even like. Has he had any opportunities to do work like this since joining RAW?

You mean you don't like hearing the "Next Mrs. Layfield" joke over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over?

Well, twerking wasn't a thing then, so we definitely had one positive.

That's the problem with current commentary in general. It's so structured and sterilized. There's very few times where I feel like they're truly passionate about what they're saying. They're just spouting off buzzwords and shilling for three hours straight.

I never saw the PPV, but I remember JBL cut a great promo on Smackdown after the Inferno match going off on the fans for cheering when MVP was set on fire.

Was that the show that JBL flipped out because the crowd was quiet for a Cruiserweight Title match?

My favorite JBL freakout was during a match with Sylvan and Jimmy Yang.
"I hate you, I hate both people in the ring. The referee is Canadian, I hate him too. He's the one who counted me out against Rey, who I also hate! I got beat by Bobby Lashley, who I hate! I'm the one that dropped the championship to John Cena, and I damn sure hate him! I hate all of you people!"

My favorite JBL freak out is that one clip floating around YouTube of Cole hyping up some match on Smackdown when JBL suddenly screams "SHUT UP" at him.

The JBL & Cole Show is probably the place where he'd be more like his usual/old self.
I don't recall if he's been anti-Rey a lot in his recent run, but JBL tossed a few barbs at Rey during the WM30 battle royal that showed that spark of life in him again...

It's been said a ton of times, but it's still true: he's AWFUL since coming back. Some have made the case that he's the mouthpiece or Vince, and that's the issue. That may be true. Whatever it is, he sucks right now.

I remember him having something similar to that rant when Undertaker went off on Mr. Kennedy and nailed him with a nasty looking chairshot.
Those freak outs were amazing. He actually made you feel somewhat sympathetic to those two heels.

I guess we'll have our answer when (if?) Bo Dallas loses his undefeated streak.
