I don't know if there has been any threads created on this but I couldn't find one anyways.
But on this weeks smackdown during the Mercury and Hardy match, JBL kept telling Micheal Cole that he was being biased and kept saying things along the lings of "If Matt Hardy had done that then you wouldn't have a problem with it" and "If Mercury had done that it would have been a travesty".
But don't you think that is kind of just making Micheal Cole look like a complete idiot. I mean I know he's speaking the truth but it just seemed a bit strange for a commentator to say something like that. Any thoughts?

There was another comment that I thought you were talking about
"If you had an injured knee you probably wouldn't make one show in England"
This was an obvious dig at TAZZ
Can we please make this an official JBL one liner's thread?

Jesse Ventura did that to Vince McMahon all the time.
Vince: "Ron Bass shouldn't be allowed to carry a bullwhip."
Jesse: "How come you never complain about Duggan's 2x4?"
The best heel announcers challenge the face announcers with an ounce of truth.

The best heel announcers challenge the face announcers with an ounce of truth. Which is why it's so sad to see the two clowns on RAW every week......one a horny old bastard, and the other barely able to keep names straight. I miss the old school JR/King relationship, and especially the Heenan/Monsoon days. |

On another note I hope we get JBL on commentary for the Rumble this year. |

I like that JBL sounds real when he is comentating. All the other commentators sound so forced. I also like that JBL references old wrestlers and other classic wrestling moments.

I just like the fact that JBL actually seems to have some sort of passion in his voice.

Smackdown is a 2 hour JBL promo.
That makes it so much better than anything else in pro wrestling.

I wouldn't be surprised if ol' JBL is a browser of Wrestlecrap. He's mentioned the Red Rooster and I think the Goobledygooker before.

Yeah I love that way he makes jokes that you have to know a bit more than what you're expected to know to actually get. Wasn't that the premise of Vince Russo's writing in WCW? |

Actually, I always saw Russo's WCW booking as more, "Wrestling is staged and you're stupid for thinking otherwise, but we're still going to pretend like it's real. Maybe. Yes, yes we are. No, wait, I forgot. It's staged. No, real. No, staged. No....." But, y'know ... it's all open to interpretation.  |

Yeah but he done it to a much larger extent that JBL, with actual whole storylines being affected. JBL just makes comments here and there. |
