JBL recently appeared as a guest on GAW TV for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the WWE legend spoke about Vince McMahon always being kind to him, even when he was being critical, as well as his thoughts on the WWE Chairman being a terrific producer.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On Vince McMahon always being nice to him even when he's being critical: “Vince [McMahon] gets a lot of heat over what he produces, and I loved it. By the way, Vince was never rude to me. Not one time, did not yell at me one time. Jerry Lawler says the same thing. Booker T says the same thing. Now he yelled at Michael Cole and he yelled at some other guys, but I think it was the old guys who had been in the ring for him. He just treated us differently. Even when I made mistakes, he was very kind about it.”
On the reason why he thinks McMahon was a terrific producer: “But I loved him being in my ear because he was very succinct. He’s a great producer. He would tell you just a short little phrase. He wouldn’t tell you a whole paragraph. Usually I’d be one word behind it. I’d just repeat exactly what he said, because he knew what was coming up and he also knew what he was feeding somewhere else. So, sometimes he’d feed me something, but he’d [Michael] Cole something different and it made sense after Cole said it. He (Vince) had access to everything. I enjoyed Vince being a producer. A lot of guys, I think it’s fashionable to say they hated it, but I thought he was terrific at it.”
