JBL fala de sua personagem

JBL concedeu uma entrevista esta semana onde falou a respeito da personagem que apresentou na WWE: "No. In fact, I don't think anybody even expected it. The JBL character, I had had in mind for a long time, a character very similar. But they were very reticent to let me do that because I was doing a lot with the troops and they didn't need me. Then, all of a sudden at once, I think Big Show was hurt, Brock Lesnar had left the company. All of a sudden, you needed somebody immediately in that role and that's when they did the change. All of a sudden, just one day.I don't think it was something thought about with a lot of forethought. Vince McMahon always said that he thought I could be a world champion and he was probably the only one in the entire company that thought that. [Laughs.] I have no idea why he thought that. But, when they came up with the JBL character, I knew this was going to be my last shot at it, so I was hoping it would work. It didn't work at all for the first few weeks and if it hadn't been for Eddie Guerrero, it probably wouldn't have worked. Thank goodness, I had the right opponent and a good friend of mine and it ended up working."
