Boo. I marked for APA. Farooq was the man and when they broke up...Gosh. That was really upsetting for me now that I think about it. I remember watching them in the early 2000's and laughing my ass off with having that random door to their club and them playing cards and drinking. Good times.
JBL's character didn't appeal to me. I just don't like the "I'm rich and I'm better than you" gimmicks, with the exception of The Million Dollar Man, of course. I personally can't remember JBL doing much when he was champion besides that stuff with Eddie and the feud with Cena.
I ate up JBL's entire WWE Title reign. This is before I was on the internet too. I just loved the guy.
I loved his feud with Eddie. His stereotypical comments on mexicans and his comedic actions werte great.
After the Eddie feud was over, he really didn't need the "rich" part of the gimmick, though it was still part of him. That just became his background, and his mic skills carried him.
Loved his feud with The Undertaker. Liked his feud with Booker. I liked his feud with Big Show, especially the Triple Threat with Angfle and their interaction with each other, which I thought was gold. Him escaping the barbed wire cage match was ure gold. His feud with Cena was perfect. They were opposites, and what a better person to drop it to after 10 months.
JBL was rushed into the WWE Title far too soon, but you have to give him his props he had a great reign. The match with Eddie at Judgment Day is a spectacle on Eddie's part due to it being the most intense bleeding of all time.
This is a bit off-topic, but I've been watching some old Stan Hansen matches lately, mostly with him tagging with Brody. I'd never actually watched much of him, but when I started watching him recently, I immediately thought of JBL. His style is very similar, even down to the way he walks around the ring and the attitude he projects. Also, the LARIATOOOOO~!
