10314.07.2022OnlyHalfTheEffinShow7.0Say what you will about Bradshaw as a human being, and there is certainly a lot you could say, but as a worker and a character I will always defend him. Some say the JBL gimmick was antiquated or passé by the time of the Ruthless Aggression era; I call it a throwback. His greatest matches were like throwbacks to the wild, bloody brawls of the territory days with a hard hitting, stiff working style to go with it. God help you if you were an enhancement talent and found yourself on the wrong end of a clothesline from hell.

10606.07.2022KingsCrossing9.0Perhaps this is nostalgia speaking, but when I think of WWE's greatest heels JBL is always quick to come to mind. I despised him in my early teens, and now as an adult look back on his WWE title reign fondly. Excellent on the mic with some very memorable promos and a total heat magnet who was completely believable in the role. He isn't the best in the world between the ropes, hence going for a rating of 9 instead of 10, but I do think he is better in-ring than he gets credit for.

10812.06.2022ExcitingProWrestlin39.0The Greatest Heel of his time bar-to-none. He genuinely pissed you off, not just in the ring but backstage too. There was no limits to how far he'd go to make you mad and that's what made him great at his job. I'd give him a 10 if it weren't for his somewhat lackadazzacle ring skills but on heel work alone one of the greatest.

11329.04.2022Tomas Cunha7.0To me, a good upper-midcard level wrestler. During the Attitude Era, he was really fun to watch in the APA. And even later on, he had some good feuds and matches as JBL. However, I never bought him as WWE Champion for a number of reasons. Mostly because it was so rushed due to many outside factors, like Brock Lesnar's sudden departure and Kurt Angle's injury after WM20 - who had pretty much been SmackDown's main event scene in 2003. When JBL was suddenly put in that spot, viewers inevitably looked at him as the same old 'Bradshaw from the APA' rather than this new, fresh main event character, JBL. Plus, he lacked the moveset of a top guy. It's not a knock on him personally, it's just that he never needed one (the APA were often in 3-minute midcard tag matches) and it all happened too quickly. But in a vacuum, he is an effective heel who is capable of cutting an amazing promo and can put a babyface over well enough at the end of a program.

11707.03.2022hirsty9710.0One of the greatest heels in wrestling history. Perhaps the best lariat of all time outside of Hansen. He could generate heat like few others and had a memorable run with the APA and was involved in some of the best tag matches of the attitude era. Then had great feuds with Eddie, Rey, Batista, Cena. His world heavyweight title reign was way better than anyone would have expected
11827.02.2022Grissom7.0Der Mann hatte viele Gimmicks und die meisten waren nciht mehr als für die Midcard zu gebrauchen. Mit der APA hat er sich dann endlich etabliert um dann später als JBL noch eine Stufe zu klettern, der das Gimmick einfach perfekt gespielt udn vielleicht auch zum Teil gelebt hat. Als Wrestler überschaubar, aber er hat dennoch seinen Job gut gemacht während seiner Hochpase als Champion und JBL Charakter. Als Person fragwürdig mit seiner Bully Mentalität, aber das fließt hier nicht ein.
11913.02.2022DangoDaisuki2.0Als Person kann ich ihn überhaupt nicht leiden was ich von ihm kenne. Als Wrestler JBL okay als Heel, aber schlecht als Wrestler. Als Bradshaw akzeptabel als Wrestler aber kein Charisma. Um nicht nur die Sympathie alleine zu bewerten kann ich ihn maximal 2 Punkte geben.

12516.11.2021Pentadust4.0jbls heel heat he got in the ring was quite good in his prime as he also took some good cummupence for his heel actions like in his feuds with undertaker, eddie gurrero, big show and john cena. but ounce you peek behind the curtain you realize what an unprofessional person he was like bullying the miz, attacking blue meanie and much more to other wrestlers that in some cases might have made them quit

12704.10.2021KENTAfan8.0JBL was an amazing heel and brawler, his 2004-05 title reign remains one of the greatest heel reigns in WWE history. He had many great matches, usually when he was in a situation where he could fully utilize his brawling style, and he remains the gold standard for the chickenshit heel archetype. He was never on the same level as guys like Cena, Guerrero or Angle, but he was still damn good when he needed to be.

13919.06.2021Daigotsu6.0Bradshaw was pretty good with Farooq as a monster tag team with the APA. His JBL character, in my opinion, was pushed too hard too fast, and he definitely had legitimacy problems in my mind. He eventually grew on me, but I don't think I ever bought him as a main event guy or viable world champion. With that said, there were definitely worse heels, and he could entertain.

14608.05.2021The A-Lister8.0One of the most underrated wrestlers in WWE history. Did great both as a part of APA and as a JBL. He's one of the best heels in WWE history. He wasn't the best wrestler, but had an awesome clothesline.

14917.04.2021AnB7.0Never impressed with his in-ring ability, but he really perfected the rich asshole gimmick during his run. The fact that he was the champ for almost a year baffles me though, it was not at all a very interesting period for the title. Had some fun times during the WWE Hardcore Champion period.

15925.01.2021sanjuro4.0A good clothesline and a Texas-issued birth certificate doesn't make you the second coming of Stan Hansen. Had a great program with Eddie but then Eddie could draw with anyone. Credit where it's due: the Judgment Day/Night matches with Eddie and Cena are two of the best E matches of the 2000s but he never had anything close to their level before or after. Occasionally good character work couldn't make up for bland ring presence and a limited workrate. It's also wild that he continued to make his gimmick being the unstoppable badass when Brawl for All demolished that persona before it even got off the ground. One of the worst title reigns ever, to boot.

16318.12.2020Old ride long line8.0First of all I tend to like the heels and anti hero? s more than the baby faces. Having said that, If you asked me in 04-05, what I thought about jbl I would have told you he was the worse champion of all time. I hated that guy. And that? s a testament to just how great of a true heel he was. I think if injuries didn? t mount up he would have been a multiple time champion and really been able to put a lot more guys over. Respect to the wrestling god!

17206.07.2020Ma Stump Puller7.0The JBL gimmick is quite divisive: some see it as a great gimmick that bumped up a low card tag specialist to the top, others seen it as a way to get cheap heat using racial stereotypes. For myself, I thought he was pretty good, always getting the crowd involved with his promos, and he could do some solid comedy skits as well and wasn't afraid to make a fool of himself. In terms of wrestling yes, he wasn't exactly the most technical guy around and some of his matches were stinkers (like with Undertaker, Big Show, etc) but with the right babyface against him, he could put on some pretty good showcases. His heat was huge, and anyone who fought against him was automatically a babyface. I'd rather watch a JBL promo than a Triple H one, that's for sure. Overhated as a whole.
17329.06.2020JuWFEAE8.0Ein guter Hell der seinen Job auf jeden Fall gemacht hat. Er hätte einen besseren Finisher als eine Clothesline verdient aber ich hätte ihn mir später in seiner Karriere nicht ohne diesen Finisher vorstellen können.

19719.08.2019CodySquared8.0Every match with Bradshaw was hard hitting and had you ooing and aweing in pain with his opponent. He had a pretty decent move set, and the most brutal Clothesline in WWE by far and the most painful to watch powerbomb. He moved well enough for a man of his size and all of his gimmicks were gold, and helped define separate eras. I wish his WWE Championship reign went longer and because of his bruising and mic work I feel like a more versatile moveset wouldn? t suit him and he did very well with his branding. One of the few times ever that not diversifying your moveset is a very good thing. I was initially going to rate a 7 but I think that? s too harsh for his accolades and effort.
19807.08.2019ZestyZuluWarrior7.0JBL was a midcarder who found his way into main event scene. He had a good look and played the rich snob heel well. He could put on some good stuff. Outside of the ring he is allegedly a walking pile of garbage but I haven't seen anything concrete on that
19901.08.2019KyleEnjoysWrestling7.0JBL had an interesting arc. I remember first seeing him show up as Justin Hawk Bradshaw & thinking he had a good look. From the New Blackjacks, to the Acolytes, to the APA; Bradshaw had varying levels of success. Then you woke up one day & instead of a long haired Texan tough guy, he was a New York businessman. A bit of a shocking character change, to say the least. As a top guy on Smackdown, I was always pretty negative with what I saw. Pretty poor in the ring & I really never liked the Clothesline from Hell. His matches got old very quickly. Once he went away from the main event & was more of an upper mid card, I found JBL much more tolerable. I like a lot of his work as an announcer & I think he's mostly underrated in that role. He had a phenomenal grasp on history & tied in a lot of it, which I really found interesting. His run was certainly drama filled, from his prominence with wrestler's court, to his issues with Meanie, Joey Styles, Mauro, Miz & more. But I'm trying not to look at most of the behind-the-scenes escapades & focusing on his in-front-of-camera work.
20014.07.2019ParisTheSpider7.0Einer der besten Heels aller Zeiten innerhalb der WWE, am Mic und auch im Ring. Klasse Matches gegen Cena und Eddie Guerrero.
