Former WWE Announcer Says JBL Was Difficult to Work With

Things keep looking worse and worse for JBL.

Former WWE announcer Rich Brennan was recently a guest on the Under The Mat Radio, and discussed a number of topics. The main one of interest, was his working relationship with JBL while he was with the company.

It has been previously reported that John Bradshaw Layfield has been known for being a bully backstage in WWE. Brennan says that nothing about these reports surprises him, as it seems JBL was difficult to work with backstage:

“JBL was difficult to work with as a broadcast partner. [There’s] nothing you can do about it because that’s Vince’s (McMahon) guy. With this whole thing going on (Mauro Ranallo situation), I don’t know, but it seems like he’s entrenched there. He basically violates all the rules when it comes to broadcast announcers in how we are trained to be announcers because he can. Difficult to work with part of that is his heel persona, some of that is if he (JBL) doesn’t like you or respect you then it’s dialed up little bit. At times I felt like he really didn’t work to make the product better, he was just there to get himself over. Backstage he was OK to me. Can I see him giving Mauro a hard time? Absolutely I can.”
