are you looking for protection....

[DawgRawx]

I loved the APA, especially the backstage poker games. They were a wicked tag team and just plain bad ass. personally I think they could do a 3-4 week run, strictly as "protection". I'm thinking either Santino or MVP would hire them.

I thought this was a thread about condoms or guns.

"APA Protection, Cuz we need beer money"

No. A one night only thing, definatly, but not when it means the end of the JBL era on SmackDown!

I agree with that, JBL is the voice that's changing Friday nights, but ....
DAMN! it would be sweet as a 1 timer

[Reverend BTY]

One night, fine. But beyond that would just be useless.

JBL and Ron announcing together! Ron as face, JBL as heel

Ballgame!...DAMN!

I would not mind it as a quick little storyline, but I'd hate it as a dragged out or a one nigh tonly thing.

Something like where JBL gets into with Miz/Morrison in a worked shoot angle. He's forced to wrestle in a match against them. JBL goes around the back begging people to be his partner ala Karen Angle when Kurt won the titles and no one will be his partner because of past conflicts with JBL or just their dislike of him. The match starts and JBL starts off strong before Miz and Morrison double team him and pick up the win with it clearly shown that they had to double team him to beat him. Afterwards, they keep beating on him. Simmons comes out and they run away.

Then later in the show have JBL go to Simmons to thank him where Simmons pretty much says the only reason he saved him is because they have so much history and he used to call JBL a friend and he couldn't stand to see his old friend get beat down like that BUT he's still pissed at JBL for not saying a word when he got fired then JBL acts like he thought Ron knew it was business and it wasn't anything personal. Tease a JBL face turn with him trying to help Ron out and convince him that he's still his friend. Ron finally accepts and they have a tag match on a PPV with JBL vs. Miz & Morrison where JBL refuses a tag when Simmons in trouble out of cowardice and have Simmons lose. Simmons spine busts JBL.. and walks off. Nothing after that, just use it to play up that you can't trust JBL.

[-Lithium-]

I dont think they could really get Simmons booed after all this "DAMN!" stuff. Maybe have him refuse to say it or something...

I am all for a one night announce team of the APA on Smack down. Actually, I would drop pretty much anything I was doing just to see the current day JBL and Ron Simmons announcing Smack down. Especially if they bullied Cole out of the arena or something.

ummm.....wasnt JBL knocking faarooq on SD though during his promo with MVP calling him dead weight

Same here.


There's no chance of this happening. JBL is a fulltime color commentator and Ron Simmons' vocabulary is restricted to one word. I enjoy both of their characters now. APA was awesome but it had its time in the sun.

[Sajoa Moe]

JBL has let himself go a bit since he stopped wrestling.

there was a time when the apa were awesome in my opinion, they had those vignettes that ended with 'cos we need beer money'. I loved it
