JBL comments on Roberts' release

[Stopspot]

After WWE announced Monday night on its official website that they had elected to not exercise its option to renew ring announcer Justin Roberts’ contract, a few accounts on social media by people at RAW in Atlanta, Georgia, claimed to haven witnessed Roberts yelling at Michael Cole during the Dolph Ziggler vs. Randy Orton match and flipping him off. JBL addressed the rumor on Facebook:
“I saw on the Internet that Michael Cole and Justin Roberts got into a fight at ringside-during a live Raw. Do you realize how preposterous this is? Michael has ZERO break during the three hours (King and I barely have enough to tweet!), we go straight to WWE App during commercials (which Maggle is so helpful in showing everyone how to download) and back to TV action. This ‘fight’ never happened and couldn’t have happened due to lack of time. I have no idea how these things start-but happy that people care enough to write about what we do and what goes on, sometimes though the ‘news’ is wrong as in this case,” Layfield wrote.

“I wish Justin the best obviously and I know nothing of his departure other than what was announced-but wanted to clear this up as the Internet was buying this for fact for some reason.

“I do want to wish Maggle a happy birthday (yesterday) I do think Maggle is the best play by play guy WWE has ever had, and before all of you hop on the JR or Gorilla bandwagon-I mean no insult to either of those guys, both all time greats. I have worked with Michael since my broadcast start and have never seen anyone better-that is obviously subject to my opinion. The stuff he has to do with all the social media, app, network, etc makes his job the hardest play by play in the world imo and as much as I love getting him on air, I think he is great at it.”

Kinda makes sense.

How can two guys get into an altercation during the show when it's on constantly, but he handled it well. No smark comments or bitterness for the rumors.

JBL is a bureaucrat. He knows who butters his bread. There's no way he would say JR is the best when Vince believes JR is too passe.

I actually liked Justin Roberts. He's amazing. I wish he could've stayed.

As far as JBL commenting on Jim Ross and commentators....I don't think he's all that concerned with who "butters his bread" on that topic. AS long as he's not out of line, and states something like, "well vince is an idiot for thinking JR isn't the best...." I think as long as he doesn't do that, he's fine. I mean Triple H still feels that JR is the best commentator ever and had him come back to commentate on his match with Taker at Mania 28.

I 'worry'? Where'd you get that nonsense from, son?
I told you why I did it, yet you insist on shooting arrows because your gimmick is stale
I've done this since Feb 2012. I did it then because I wanted to and I still do it because I want to.

So now, I 'worry of a word about being offensive'? Do you know how many people I've offended on here? B*tch, please.
If you want to be a heel, fine. If you want to feud, fine. Get better material besides my censorship because everybody knows that was the weakest argument ever.
I worry about words being offensive. lol. Since I don't know you, nor read your posts I won't sink to your level.
You're just some cat who's butt hurt because I insulted your hero. Join the club, son.

I don't even know what you're chatting at this point. If jokingly brushing you over your highly obvious "JBL wants to not make a PR mistake so he can keep his job security" comment leads you to make another self-righteous paragraph then I'll make sure to see you around the rest of the forums xx

 

[Red Rain]

Yet you know exactly what I'm chatting about. You made the effort of analyzing it as self-righteous so, of course, you understand.

It was long and i've seen your other posts. I didn't really need to read it did I, trademarks recognised

I don't notice any difference when Justin is there or not there.. so, yeah this really has zero impact on the WWE.
