WWE Hall Of Famer JBL Teases ‘Endgame’ For Recent Surprise Appearances

TNA

WWE Hall of Famer JBL has addressed his recent cross promotional appearances, teasing an endgame for his recent dealings.

The former WWE Champion has appeared for numerous promotions recently, showing up at shows for the likes of TNA Wrestling, AAA, GCW and MLW.

Several of his appearances have involved Nic Nemeth, with ‘John Layfield’ accompanying him to the ring at Triplemanía XXXII: Mexico City, whispering something in Nemeth’s ear at TNA Emergence, and attacking Joe Hendry during his match against Nemeth at TNA Bound For Glory.

Speaking on the ‘Something To Wrestle‘ podcast, JBL noted that this was all Bruce Prichard’s idea.

Noting that there’s a planned endgame to his appearances, JBL said:

“Bruce (Prichard) gave me the whole game plan. I won’t give you what everything Bruce told me. I told him I was bored and I wanted to do something. Bruce laid out the entire game plan of what he did, about what guys have done, to create interest, to create something that’s worthwhile and something that is worth seeing.

“He gave me this whole game plan. Now I have not really confided in him since because he’s so busy. Now, I have confided in you (Conrad Thompson) and I have confided in Gerald Brisco. You’re probably the only two guys that know the stuff I’m doing.

“You made some phone calls that instantly got me into a lot of different places, which I greatly appreciate, but Bruce is the one who gave me the game plan for all this. All this stuff that I’m doing on independents, this stuff that I’m doing on social media, I’ve got some stuff coming up that I think is pretty cool. We’re going to have a lot more things. There is an endgame to this, but it all came from Bruce.

“Bruce gave me this game plan a while back. He didn’t know what I’m doing now. He didn’t ask, but a lot of it came directly from Bruce. I’m having the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. I love this business so much, and I have missed being in the business.

“It’s so fun just to be around the guys, and it’s so fun just to be in arenas, be around wrestling rings, be around fans. I love this business and I’m not ready to go off into the sunset yet. So I’m having a lot of fun, but a lot of this came from Bruce.”
