JBL was one of the greatest heel’s, mic men and commentator’s in the game.

Bore… I don’t think so.

I think it is just weird the way he left. Anyway…

JBL was a heel you loved to hate, but not in the way Triple H, Randy Orton or Edge were/are, as I didn’t respect his character while I do the others.

JBL would of been a greater heel than EDGE. But not in a Competitive role, as GM of Raw or Smackdown. He had the tone of voice and could get any reaction from the fans. One of the things I did notice when he iducted the Blackjacks into the Hall of Fame. He introduction of the tag team was said with a strong tone of voice without the use of line writen on a card.

Scarllet im only going to disagree for one reason. When it came right down to it, hes always been a heel you just love to hate. Your right, sometimes his promos werent rave worthy, but look at the fueds and storys hes been set up with. I think his best in his last year or so was the HBK fued, and that one had almost no logic to it. Yet they both carried it as far as it could go. I’d like to think that being great at promos isnt about what you say, its how well you present it and sell it. End of the day JBL had ceratin sublties that few great heels have. From his tone of voice, to his body language and smirk the guy completely sold you that he was a complete asshole that you needed to hate. Just having him in the ring made most fans get up and boo. Its the same way the rock bleed intensity or the command Steve Austin had. They all had pressance, and while i agree his in-ring work and physical condition needed work. Few wrestlers have that type of pressance in the ring. If anything, given he had better storys and pushes, JBL might have been the best heel of this generation. (I know most would say its Edge but he has too much of a following for me to be called a true heel, Still just wanna say Edge is better overall then him though in every catergory).

And by surpassing every commentator, you couldn’t possibly mean J.R. as well?!

I agree with you almost completely. Although JBLs standard of commentating surpassed any commentator in any brand i have seen or heard. The commentator rivalries were just enough to keep me hooked to the match until the majority weren’t worth it anymore, so i think his presence anywhere (preferably somewhere more deserving) would be an asset if used wisely.

FYI i couldn’t agree more on Batista

I have to agree that he was very good as an announcer; I probably should have emphasised that a bit more in the article.
However, I disagree with serginho, I thought JBL had some of the worst mic skills ever. As I said, I switched off whenever he was speaking.
