#5 JBL's thoughts on a possible WWE return
Before the 2014 Royal Rumble, John Bradshaw Layfield last wrestled in a WWE match in 2009.
Speaking on the Talking Tough podcast, he recently expressed that a future in-ring return might not be on the cards. However, JBL seemed open to managing a superstar or helping out young talent in a non-wrestling capacity.
“I doubt it [in-ring return], I don’t wanna get out there. If I thought I could help one of the young guys, yes, I’d do it. If I could physically, I would do it. I don’t think physically I could do it. I would be happy to get out there and manage somebody or do something to help a young talent. I love working with the young guys. I really enjoy trying to give them my philosophy of how to be… I know a lot more about how to be a bad guy than I do a good guy,” JBL said.
The Hall of Famer noted that his height could be a problem as far as being an on-screen manager is concerned.
Superstars usually look taller than their managers after all, but at six-foot-six, JBL appears more towering in comparison to many professional wrestlers.
“The only problem with being a manager is I’m six [foot], six [inches]. It’s tough because I’m so much taller than a lot of the wrestlers, not that they’re even shorter than they were, but it’s hard for tall managers because you want a short manager that makes their guy look really big,” JBL added.
