JBL Reveals Vince McMahon’s Reaction To Him Using Banned Word On WWE TV

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 and then some. Now it appears he revealed Vince McMahon’s reaction to him using a banned word on WWE television.

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.

That said, he was still a well-respected WWE Superstar. Even Vince McMahon respected him, especially during his time as a WWE commentator. After all, McMahon was known to punish stars for using banned words on WWE television.

JBL was commentating on a WWE match involving Rikishi when he claimed that the Hall of Famer had “more as than a donkey farm.” The word “ass” has been banned on television for many years

While speaking Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, JBL recalled how Vince McMahly found what he said amusing and didn’t punish him at all.

“I said one time that, I think it was Rikishi, I said, ‘He’s got more ass than a donkey farm.’ All I heard was that Vince had heard me say ass, and he goes, ‘What did John say?’ Somebody told him, he goes, ‘Oh, that’s funny.’ He let it go. As long as it’s not done gratuitously, at least as far as Vince was concerned.” 

JBL had a storied career in WWE and is part of numerous memorable moments over the years. Regardless, we will have to wait and see whether JBL will ever return to WWE television.
