JBL is ok but i hate it when he starts making comparisons from Boxing and gets his facts all wrong. -JBL says there is no Cruiserweight division in boxing - false -JBL says Bernard Hopkins went up to Heavyweight and won a title - false -About the only rivarly JBL knows is Ali vs Frazier In general he tries to act like a toughman when in reality he's got his ass knocked out in every one of his legit fights. I have a feeling you're referring to the finals of the Brawl For All. I hate to break it to you but everything that happened after Bart Gunn knocked out Dr. Death was scripted. They changed after that to keep from having more people get injured and to make it more interesting by having Bart suddenly have this amazing knockout punch.

I'm just pissed at JBL trying to shove wrestlers (especially awful ones) down our throats and then freaks out when someone else tries that. And I don't like JBL in general. He's a HEEL. He's SUPPOSED to be contradictory and hypocritical. He's playing a CHARACTER. And BTW, are you calling Jamie Noble an awful wrestler?

And BTW, are you calling Jamie Noble an awful wrestler? No, Noble is amazing and easily one of the best guys in any roster but JBL usually tries it with those godawful big men. "LOOK AT THE GUY! YOU GOTTA LOVE EM!" Yuck. Oh gosh, I hate it when he yells that one out. Just everything about JBL is awful. I'm guessing that if JBL ever became a baseball announcer, he would periodically yell out "WRESTLING MATCH!" That reminds me of a buddy of mine somehow, he always brought a sign to wrestling events that would simply say "WRESTLE". I thought it was hysterical.

Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw does not approve of this thread. Seriously, JBL rules all.

Good to see some people never jumped on the JBL Bandwagon.

Just because he's the best they have doesn't mean he's good.
That's like saying Khali is great because he's the best wrestler over 7'3".

I never liked him or his character and I never got why people blew there load over him being an announcer.
Personally I think he sucks and his announcing isn't that great.
I'd prefer to listen to taz botch every move name than JBL talk crap.

Cole: "You gotta love the feistiness, the go get attitude of the Major Brothers!" JBL: "I DON'T GOTTA LOVE ANYTHING!" "AND WHO ARE YOU? Vladimir Putin? TRYIN TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY GOTTA LOVE?" *ramblin' ramblin' ramblin'* "YOU TELL ME TO GOTTA LOVE 'EM?! I DON'T GOTTA LOVE ANYTHING!" Looking back since JBL commentates: "YOU GOTTA LOVE THE BIG GUY!!" (Festus) "YOU GOTTA LOVE CHUCK PALUMBO! HE IS IMPRESSIVE!!" "YOU GOTTA LOVE JAMIE NOBLE!!" GUESS WHAT JBL: I DON'T GOTTA LOVE ANYTHING. SO smurf YOU. Especially not freakin Chuck Palumbo. The joke is that he's being hypocritical. He just loves to tear into Cole since Cole is devoid of any comebacks.

I dunno, he put over a lot of guys since his announcing gig started in 06. I remember him talking about Kid Kash and comparing him to Ricky Morton. And comparing MVP's kick to Chono's.

I'm kinda getting tired of JBL's wishy washy heel commentator. He really needs to stop putting over faces, even if they are unknowns.

So, in other words, you just want him to act like every other announcer? It's not like Cole does a good job at making the faces sound interesting. If you listen to Cole, he just spouts taglines about wrestlers without any insight on WHY they're supposed to be so tough or good. For example, JBL will tell you Rey Mysterio is fast, can slip out of anything, and never gives up. Cole will tell you he's a "Little Big Man" who can hit the 619 at any time, even though no one is really surprised by it at all. It's like comparing sports commentary to someone reading a Thomas the Tank Engine book.

Just because he's the best they have doesn't mean he's good. Yes, it does. No, it doesn't. It just means he's better than the crap they have (if you believe that). 'He's good' and 'he's better than what they have' are two different ideas, and not related.

Well, best currently in mainstream US wrestling? Yes, easily. Don West and Tenay? Atrocious. Tazz and Styles? Eh, serviceable. JR and King? A lot of off nights. I've heard ROH announcing, too, and short of funny color commentary CM Punk used to have, it's realllly bland play by play.

Oh come on! JBL has brought us some much needed great commentary. I mean, seriously.
Sylvan: Come! Spend your vacation in Quebec!
JBL: I'd rather spend it in hell.
JBL is awesome. Period.

I LOVED him as a wrestler. I fully endorse his past reign as champion, and I'm 700% behind a return. JBL remains one of my favorite wrestler personalities of all time.
