JBL you have overstayed your welcome.

It came to me last night watching Smackdown. Bradshaw is done. The crowd doesn't care anymore, and the promo he cut was ridiculous. Plus he looks like such a chump compared to Batista, and what was with the goofy outfit? He is living breathing cartoon character. I think people have finally begun to realize how bad he is in the ring, and his promos are the exact same thing over and over. Now you can say HHH does the same thing, but at least he can keep it fresh in the ring and put on 5 star matches. And yes his promos are boring sometimes, but hes HHH so he has bit more clout than Bradshaw. I truly believe that after this Sunday Bradshaw can kiss his spot goodbye. After he has a horrendous match with Batista they will wanna put their champ in there with someone who can wrestle. The when Lesnar returns Bradshaw kinda falls to the bottom of the barrel.

Get yourself an old wrestling tape. Watch Flair in his prime, Terry Funk, The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, Barry Windham, The Andersons, Pat Patterson, The Briscoes, and I dare you,... I dare you to try to tell me that WWE is even a remotely good product. Wrestling happened before 1998 and just because you didn't see it does not mean it did not exist. Broaden your horizons people!!!

I doubt it. He's been pushed down our throats SO many times in the past, and WWE finally found a singles gimmick that somewhat worked for him. I realize how stupid this sounds, but I really think that Vince considers JBL to be on the elite HHH-Taker-Angle level

I agree with Steveo. I knew that as soon as he lost the WWE title, his place on the WWE food chain would fall to a decent level.

It pretty much feel that way about most of the SD wrestlers.

haha, the crowd never cared about JBL steveo. I can see him as a decent midcarder, but that's all smackdown really has right now. Everyone who lost the belt fell to that range. Eddie, Beniot, and I can see JBL in that area right now. I was always bored with JBL cause I never saw him wrestle too much. The only time he did was on PPV's, or squash matches on Smackdown. ALl he ever saw him do on Smackdown were repetitious promos

Thanks for the memories Eddie!

The only time that I really liked Bradshaw was when he was a beer drinking, bar fighting member of the Acolyte Protection Agency with Faarooq.

APA's promos in the bar were funny as hell.

Well..here's the problem.


JBL's character is a guy that is wealthy and supposed to be better than the average man and all that, right? He's supposed to be on a higher level than all of us commoners.

This reminds me of the Million Dollar Man. Ted, he was always around the top of the card, but not always in the main event by any means. If he wasn't trying to buy the title or something like that, he was buying people...He bought out people to be in his stable and he always had a storyline out of that.

JBL has already done this..they could have easily had a storyline with him and the Bashams, or him and OJ with OJ being sick of taking JBL's crap, but no..WWE doesn't see how this character can move on without the title or without going after the title..

So now..WWE is stuck. They don't know how to lower JBL down the card without his gimmick becoming a fraud, and they may actually believe that he's a real main eventer to boot, and that people care about him and don't want to see him fired.

It'll be interesting to se where they go with JBL from here, but I agree with Steveo. Nobody cares about Bradshaw and the sooner WWE realizes this the sooner we'll all be happy.
