Joey Styles OWNS JBL *yes serious*

[badreligion]

During the recent trip to Iraq, JBL was harassing former WWE announcer and now WWE.com head Joey Styles. JBL was basically bullying him, being rude, condescending and also spilling a drink on Styles at one point. JBL seemed to target Styles since it was his first trip with the company to Iraq, something Styles was looking forward too. Many people in the company don't like when JBL does these things, but they feel that they have to deal with it due to the fact that he is a tenured veteran and has a lot of political stroke backstage.

After a few days on the tour, JBL (who was drinking) did something to Styles that upset him so much that he physically retaliated. Several wrestlers tried to break up the situation, but JBL broke free. This is when Styles threw a punch that not only laid out JBL, but also blackened his eye. Many within the company feel that this is karma, due to the fact that JBL has "hazed" people for years, including the Blue Meanie beat down at the first "One Night Stand" as well as the European Tour where Smackdown talent Palmer Cannon quit the company due to the actions of JBL

This was the talk of the locker room last night at Raw. JBL was reportedly very out of character, as he was quiet and subdued backstage. Styles tried to downplay the entire incident when people brought it up. Most feel that this is a double embarrassment for JBL, first of all because he got punched out by an announcer, and secondly because he is very instrumental in setting up the Iraq tours.

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

Serves him right, that pompous bastard.

 

[Fangz]

If Vince gets wind of this maybe we'll see a street fight between Styles and JBL at the Royal Rumble!!

JBL should thank God every night that he is employed by a company which tolerates his antics and bad behavior. Can anyone name even one other company in america that wouldn't have fired him for his behavior years ago?

He's an ungrateful bastard who should be standing in the unemployment line. I'm glad Joey Styles punched JBL out...it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

JBL had it coming. Major win for Styles for laying out that fat bastard.

He doesnt need the wwe. He made billions off the stockmarket on his own, hence why vince likes him, because he made himself

as for the incident, proves once again that even that ECW(even their announcers) are no match for wwe

 

[badreligion]

Just because he made himself outside of the WWE doesnt mean tha tjust because hes a vet he gets to walk all over everybody he sees unworthy . There are plenty of other guys in the back who have been there longer than JBL * Undertaker for example * and The Undertaker doesnt go around flaunting his seniority he actually helps the younger guys .

Not to burst your bubble, but JBL isn't a billionaire.

You know, I've heard that Styles thinks of himself as a hostage in the company.

Any truth to that, or is it just more rumor millings?

I've never heard that and I don't think it's true. They've allowed wrestlers who've wanted to leave go. I don't see why they would hold him hostage when he isn't even on TV anymore.
