вЂњOh my God, is there anybody in this family that canвЂ™t work? EddieвЂ™s on the mat and he goes, вЂyou better get the eff out of here.вЂ™ I say because he knew that it, it was unbelievable how well it worked.

IвЂ™m that close to her and IвЂ™m thinking, вЂthis woman has just had a heart attack.вЂ™ It was that good,вЂќ he said. You know, she was I think 74 years old at the time. What she was doing, she was, she grabbed my hand and guided herself down, that way she could fall. You know, I reached like I was, put my hand on her. вЂњIвЂ™m four feet from his mother or closer, about armвЂ™s length away. JBL said that the police actually told him not to stay in El Paso because of the heat he head at the time. JBL reflected on feuding with EddieвЂ™s mom as well. But it was all because of Eddie and his brother Chavo coming up with that idea.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s when ticket sales started selling, we ended up selling out, we donвЂ™t if we could sell tickets to the Staples Center, we ended up selling, I believe at the time, an attendance record at the Staples Center. After that video aired, thatвЂ™s when we started seeing crowds increase. Without that, it wouldвЂ™ve been a one-and-done. ThatвЂ™s the whole thing that made the character. And filming it like it was a security camera filming it, so it looked like it was legit. вЂњAnd Eddie and his brother Chavo came up with the idea of giving his mother a heart attack in El Paso. They still saw me as the APA and they still saw me as this guy was Ron Simmons. And IвЂ™m happy with what happened.вЂ™ They called me out of the blue and said, вЂhey, we need somebody to face Eddie in about six-seven weeks in the Staples Center and the character didnвЂ™t work right away. I thought, вЂyou know, thatвЂ™s okay, I had a good career, I got to tag with Ron for a number of years. вЂњI had two hernias operations, I really thought I was done. When the day the character debuted, I thought I had pretty much retired. He believes that Eddie was crucial in getting over his JBL gimmick due to the storyline that they had together. JBL also spoke about Eddie Guerrero, who he feuded with over that title. It was, вЂletвЂ™s wait and see what happens.'вЂќ But he wasnвЂ™t like, super like, вЂhey this is our guy whoвЂ™s going to be a champion for a long time,вЂ™ either. So you know, and like that, Pat was not against me. And I said, вЂthanks Pat.вЂ™ He goes, вЂI hope it works out for ya.вЂ™ And I just kind of remember thinking, вЂyou know, this is a one-off if this match doesnвЂ™t work.вЂ™ And I knew it was. вЂњI know before that first match in the Staples Center, Pat Patterson came by and goes, вЂhey, hey, have a good one out there, kidвЂ™. I just donвЂ™t think a lot of people were for it. So it was just kind of, вЂhey, letвЂ™s try to thisвЂ™. You needed a guy to go against Eddie Guerrero. вЂњYou know, you needed a character at that time. вЂњI donвЂ™t think thereвЂ™s anybody against it, but I donвЂ™t think there are a lot of people for it,вЂќ JBL said. The Wrestling God doesnвЂ™t believe there was, but he does think there werenвЂ™t a lot of people pushing it either. He discussed whether or not anybody was against him holding the title. WWE Hall Of Famer JBL recently spoke with The Angle Podcast about becoming the WWE Champion.
