JBL Likely Returning

It appears as though that JBL is returning as a full-time wrestler. There has been talk for several weeks of JBL giving up his announcing spot on SmackDown. Television producer Kevin Dunn has been auditioning people with Michael Cole to find him a new announcing partner.

I really can't stand JBL, but it has seemed like they are setting him up for a return. I may have said before that I would prefer him back in the ring but now I'm not so sure. JBL really pisses me off, but I have to admit that he's part of the reason I tune into Smackdown every week. I doubt I would care as much about MVP, Rey Mysterio, Matt Hardy and some of the others if it hadn't been for JBL running his mouth about them week after week. I will probably miss him as commentator if he leaves that position.

With that being said, a lot of people seem to think he retired too early. I have never seen JBL full time in the ring so it would be nice to see what he can do. Besides, I'm sure he has great mic skills.

He is pretty good on the mic. I thought I would hate him as an announcer, but it turned out I really, *really* liked him there. I don't know if he's done anything in terms of getting me to care about the wrestlers, but he does a great job as the heel announcer.

As far as seeing him back in the ring, I'm kind of indifferent. I don't think he was as great solo as everyone else did. He never did terribly much in the ring on his own.

Ladymahogany, how long have you been watching WWE?

He was the longest reigning WWE Champion in 10 Years thats how good he is. he is excellent on the mic and a good in ring performer. And its an excellent move by the WWE to put him into a Angle with Chris Jericho. Both are great on the mic.

And he said that he was returning to Raw , which could bring confrontations with HBK , Triple H , Carlito , Jeff Hardy . Umaga , Randy Orton , Mr Kennedy , Santino Santargo & many more

It will be good to see him as an active wrestler again.

Not too long Witty. I mean John Cena was already champ when I started watching, so between a year and two years. I've seen a bit of the old stuff online with the Rock, Stone Cold, and some of the others, but I didn't watch wrestling growing up.

I was just curious, since you said you've never seen JBL full-time in the ring, but you still seem to know a lot about wrestling

i cant stand JBL!

Does anyone know if the rumors of bringing Tazz back to Smackdown! are true? I also heard rumors of Michael Hayes?

I have heard rumours of Michael Hayes but I think Tazz will stay on ECW for announcing. Michael Hayes would be amazing on commentary, he has a certain charisma that draws in listeners, and will over shadow how annoying Michael Cole is.

I like the old Bradshaw but i hate JBL
