WWE Hall of Famer JBL made a surprise appearance at GCW Homecoming, and GCW owner Brett Lauderdale recently commented on the appearance. JBL appeared at the show and attacked Effy to help Mance Warner win the GCW World Championship. Lauderdale was a guest on the Business of the Business podcast and talked about the WWE alumnus making his GCW debut at the show.
“I’m a big fan of JBL,” Lauderdale said (per Fightful). “Who is not? JBL and I have a mutual friend, who will remain unnamed. It’s one of those things. JBL is not exclusive….GCW has a reputation for guys like JBL, who are kind of dipping their foot into the independent world for the first time. They want to go somewhere where they know they can have fun and treat them with respect and present them with respect.”
He continued, “It’s somewhere where they know it’s going to get the attention it deserves and they’re going to be well represented. We have a mutual friend and I had a good conversation with JBL. JBL is interested in going out and having some fun right now. GCW is one of those places where guys like him can have fun.”
In addition to his GCW appearance, JBL has appeared for AAA Lucha Libre and TNA in recent weeks.
