Former WWE champion JBL is excited for his former tag-team partner Ron Simmons to join the HOF. JBL fondly recalls the duos success as the APA and the fun times that they had together drinking beer and fighting. After his time with Simmons came to an end, Bradshaw morphed into the JBL character that had strong similarities to J.R. Ewing from the hit show "Dallas". During his reign as one of the top stars in the company, JBL has some memorable feuds with wrestlers like the Undertaker and Eddie Guerrero. According to a Sunday February 12th report by The Bermuda Sun, JBL made the following comments about Taker and Guerrero:
"The Undertaker was [by] far the best. He and Eddie Guerrero — who was probably the most popular Hispanic character of all time — and those guys were just magicians. Those guys were so good and so professional and talented."
JBL had a memorable feud against Eddie Guerrero that helped to boost both of their stocks as main event stars. Their feud was a contrast of characters and styles. Guerrero was a 5'8" Hispanic wrestler who could fly all over the ring. JBL was a tall cowboy who exuded arrogance and bragged about his wealth. He had a brawling style that was a throwback to the old school cowboy wrestlers like his uncle Blackjack Lanza and his tag-team partner Blackjack Mulligan.
Sadly, Guerrero died in late 2005 and JBL would retire a short time later. However, The Undertaker is still wrestling in his mid to late 40's and will once again put his WrestleMania winning streak on the line at WM 28 on Sunday April 1st. Taker currently has a 19 match winning streak at WrestleMania.
