Making JBL champ was a bad mistake

[RLStern]

I actually didn't mind JBL being the WWE Champion right after Brock left. Since Brock left the company, JBL was the new big heel on Smackdown. You couldn't go to Big Show for that since he was taking time off for awhile. You couldn't go with Kurt since he was being the GM at the time. JBL was the heel that they needed to spark some fuel. I loved his feuds with Eddie Guerrero, Undertaker, Big Show soon later and John Cena. He was that kind of heel that you wanted to see get his ass kicked because he was good and also a faction to back him up at any given time. It was good for business on Smackdown. I can care less about the ratings on this topic either.

He wasn’t the type of heel who made you want to see comeuppance, he was the guy Heel or Face that made you change the channel.

Debatable

I enjoyed him as champion, certainly wasn't a well liked one though.

JBL was a great champion - had a character that made sense.

 

[Brad Boyd]

John Cena was made because of JBL.
JBL got a reward for a career as a dedicated worker.
Fuck the ratings!

So many heels could've made john cena. Jbl was not a credible main eventer hence why both him and benoit had careers til 2007 and never had another reign. Are people saying Benoit made orton in 2004? Lol

 

[Chris]

Idk I think there are other reasons Benoit didn't have a career after 2007

SO many heel could have - but they didn't. JBL did. Buzz Aldrin could of been the first man to walk on the moon - but he wasnt.

Plus Orton was really made by The Undertaker rivalry - that helped define him.

JBL didn’t do anything but lay down. Cena got himself over with that rapper gimmick.

JBL didn’t draw as a heel or face.

Didn't matter if he drew, he had a job and did it perfectly.

He didn’t do his job, they changed the channel, he lost viewers.

The heels job is to draw heat, they’re supposed to help the babyface draw more viewers and money with their heat, making the audience want to watch them get their comeuppance.

Viewers left, they didn’t care if JBL got comeuppance nor did he draw heat and increase or even maintain viewers. he lost viewers.... lol

Refuted.

Lost viewers, then went up when the new baby face beat him......because he got his comeuppance.

Fuck your refuting.....refute my nuts from the back.

They went up for John Cena being champion, no one cared about JBL’s comeuppance or his reign because he didn’t draw heat and made viewers tune out, they only cared about John Cena being champion, JBL was irrelevant and they didn’t start watching until AFTER he lost, meaning they didn’t give a shit about his comeuppance, they started watching again when they saw John Cena as world champion and main focus ... lol

Fuck your refuting.....refute my nuts from the back.

I’m not gonna do you from the back, I don’t swing that way.
