JBL is a veteran in the pro wrestling world, having started his journey during the Attitude Era in the late 90s. Bradshaw had a storied career, winning multiple championships along the way. He also has quite a few interesting stories to tell. Legends about his backstage antics are infamous, and now allegations of his bullying are coming out once again.
JBL had a very bad reputation for being an outright bully inside the WWE locker room, having often harassed several WWE Superstars over the years. Years later, Mauro Ranallo left WWE after JBL’s comments caused him distress.
While speaking on Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Vel Venis was asked who the biggest bully in the WWE locker room was. Venis wasted no time in saying it was JBL.
“JBL. I always considered JBL to be a walking home entertainment center. There were times, because he never had a filter, things that would come out of his mouth were incredible. I don’t know how he didn’t get fired for some of the things that would come out of his mouth.
But it was funny. There were times where you could tell it was one of those days that JBL was spot on. He’s in that mood. He’s in that mode. And I would literally get my black coffee and just follow him around the arena, just tag along and just follow him around to see what he’s gonna say next.”
JBL continues to have a bad reputation for being a bully backstage, his most recent case would be him bullying former NXT commentator Mauro Ranallo. Regardless, he remains a respected figure in pro wrestling.
