    New Jack's stuff on the 101 Reasons Not to Be a Wrestler is funny. That's the only thing good about that Jack-arse

    Who else is JBL, who came out as Hornswoggle's security guard on RAW that plugged his news spot on Fox? Someone told me it was Major Garrett, but I don't see a carbon copy resemblance. How's he connected to Fox News?

    JBL is, apparently, a legitimate financial advisor. He's made a number of appearances as an analyst on Fox News' business shows.
     
  5. Just for the record, the reason why JBL was there was because of bunch of wrestlers were leaving afterwards for the annual Christmas for the troops.

    I missed Raw because of the Pats game, but it was a neat idea to reunite the APA atleast for one night.

    In other news, Wrestling Observer Newsletter says current plans are Triple H vs. Batista to headline WrestleMania 24, with Batista probably winning the Rumble and Trips going over Orton at the Rumble. Of course that could easily change, but that's what it is right now.

    Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing something a little fresher (the two faced off on three straight PPV's in '05) and although I enjoyed WM 23's face vs. face matches, it shouldn't be used again anytime soon. I would prefer maybe Batista vs. Randy Orton. Also, WWE are planning on the big Edge vs. Undertaker match as well, which is a better idea.
     
  7. So Batista is going to be on RAW next year? That will be interesting, especially when Cena comes back.

    He'd probably stay on Smackdown, win the Rumble, and once you win the Rumble you can choose which show's championship title holder you want to face, as Batista also did in '05 when he picked Triple H instead of JBL. Perhaps the stipulation would be if Batista wins the title (which I doubt he would, although he is close with HHH and beat him three straight PPV main events before) he will have to switch over to Raw. I can't imagine SD! losing another high-profile superstar, especially Batista who has been a fixture on that brand.

    JBL was an actual analyst for one of the big TV programs, but was fired when he goose-stepped during a match in Germany last year (a real no-no and arrestable offense over there).
