Did we all dream JBL being really good on Smackdown years ago? I mean, that happened right? We wished for his return some years back, and like a monkey's paw we didn't know what we were asking for. We didn't know what was coming back!
WE DIDN'T KNOW!

He actually did his job and put people over. Whereas now he's just loud and obnoxious.

I truly believe he was at his absolute worst last night (Extreme Rules 2016). He was so obnoxious and cringeworthy I could barely listen to it. Michael Cole was pretty on point last night. Byron Saxton is harmless because half the time I forget he is even there.
JBL was completely terrible though. So far, he hasn't improved much on tonight's Raw.

JBL was good in 06-07. Just about everyone in the IWC liked him. If you look back to the excitement people had for his 2012 return, that's why. People seem to forget that. Like how ecstatic everyone was with Alberto winning the Rumble in 2011, or the overwhelming support of Mr Kennedy in 05-07.
I'd imagine how awful he is today is just Vince barking in his ear despite being one of the worst ever. The f***ing nerve of that talentless (in terms of commentary) asshole screaming at JR is astounding...

He made fun of my hometown Bills (again) tonight.
My unbridled hate can not be described in mere letters, words and sentences.

Vince shouting in his ear telling him to shout buzz words and on top of him not giving a f**** is all you need to know.

No, his absolute worst was Roadblock when he would NOT stop shouting YOU STILL GOT IT. The only reason I don't watch PPVs in other languages is because they have a habit of not shutting the f*** up.

What confuses me about the idea of him being good in the past (I must admit I missed most of that era) is that many of his verbal tics were there when he was a wrestler, without any Vince influence. Check out his promo at Wrestlemania X7. Rather than saying anything useful, he does the exact same hurling out of a dozen obscure sporting references in the space of 20 seconds that he does now. WE WERE WARNED.

JBL works as a commentator in a 2 man team. When he's the sole antagonist with two other voices, he seems to try to overcompemsate. He was great with just Cole, he was great with Josh Matthews, it's just the three-man booth he doesn't gel. Same thing with Striker, his style is perfectly suited for one-on-one banter.
