I'm gonna defend JBL a bit here. At least defend him looking legit pissed afterwards. Does he often sound like an idiot? Yes. Is he an idiot in terms of his wrestling knowledge and ability to call a show? I don't think so. He was doing what Vince wants him to do. He was talking about the car angle because that's part of Lesnar's program and we all know that only a handful of things they do matter to WWE. That is not JBL's fault. If this wasn't angle and I don't think it was then really Titus, as awesome as it was, was kind of dickish because he went after a guy you know couldn't fight back. It's like the old bit of finding one of your buddies has a job as a clown or some kind character so you go and annoy him because he has to stay in character.

I found it hypocritical, because Titus's yelling completely distracted from the match, as he was owning JBL for not calling the match. Yeah and I am sorry but it wasn't like Titus was doing much better at calling the action with his "Triple Fs" and stuttering more than Buh Buh Ray Dudley did in his entire career. I love Titus but that was pathetic all around. Sure but Titus shouldn't be as good at "calling the action". I see your point, but of course he's not good at commentarty. He wants JBL who does it every week to do it better.

Titus has always been a gem on mic.

It seemed like there was a touch of shooting going on there.

But Titus's job IS to talk, whether it is commentary or promos, and tonight not only was he horrible, but he killed a match by trying to take down JBL for doing his job how he's asked to.

Titus went after JBL'S the hardest after the Florida comment, which Titus maybe took offense to, and then ethered JBL. He still tried to keep the conversation about the match a few times. Just because people were still marking for what he said, doesn't mean he was taking away from the match.

I f***ing loved it and probably not for the same reason most of you did. JBL tried to come for Titus by saying he wasn't Ivy League, like his education wasn't good enough. Not only did Titus school him on the particulars of his education, he talked about the education of every black man out there regardless of them being kayfabe enemies.
I would imagine JBL has said something suspect either around Titus or to him directly and tonight Titus let his ass have it! It got hella real entirely too fast.
f***ing beautiful *sniff*
Titus. Dad of the year and my personal hero.

When Titus said that they should be able to beat the New Day JBL said "You know there is 3 of them right, they had math at Florida University right?" Titus said "I have two degrees how many you got?" Which lead to silence by JBL then Titus saying "Yeah that's what I thought." I decided to look this up. Titus has a BA in Sociology and something else (anyone know?) and served as student body president in his senior year at the University of Florida. JBL has a degree in ancient history from Abilene Christian University.

Whether he was sticking it to JBL or Vince by proxy he stuck it to someone and I loved the hell out of it.

Holy shit, I just got done watching it. Titus just shit on JBL and I loved it.
Anyone remember Christian doing something similar?
I sense some borderline shooting on both of these.

It wouldn't surprise me if JBL has said something stupid and or racist to Titus backstage honestly.

I think it's supposed to be in-canon that everyone on the main roster hates the commentary teams.
