JBL is sounding like he's a 'sounding board' for the 'Powers that Be' behind the scenes. Every time the camera is on him he's got a leacherous grin on his face like he's getting a hand job from someone below the announcer's table..
What the *Heck* Is With JBL These Days?

He's hilarious. I thought about making a JBL quotes thread he cracks me up so often.
He's the heel announcer, and does a damn good job at it. Dude is hilarious and how he takes shots at Cole constantly is just perfect.
JBL is often used to express the "management" side of angles. The persona he has created (which, as most great gimmicks, is his real-life persona writ large) is perfect to represent the view of the Authority/the Man. I mean, the real life John Layfield is a Fox News Contributor and makes weekly appearances on "Cashin' In" on Fox News, for pete's sake.
It's also interesting to note that, apparently, he's the guy who needs the least fed to him from backstage. He's reportedly given more free rein from the back because he is so familiar with pro wrestling history and can be counted on to not embarrass himself (or the WWE) off the cuff. Add to that the viewpoint that most viewers have that he's one of the most overall entertaining guys on commentary ever and you have a winning formula.

JBL is the most entertaining man at the broadcast table these days. Remember how bad it got for awhile when it was just Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler together? Even Matt Striker being there as the third man made things more interesting (and JBL is quite a bit better than Striker... he knows his history without getting his facts wrong on a constant basis.)
