Former WWE star Ken Anderson recently shared a story about JBL getting one of the loudest and most hostile reactions heâ€s ever seen.
Speaking on Elite Wrestle Talk on 99.9 Punk World Radio FM, Anderson said no one could draw heat from a crowd quite like JBL. “I have been in countries around the world with JBL, I have never experienced the type of heat he generated. The boos would make your skin rumble, it was so loud, so deafening.â€
He recalled one unforgettable night in Italy, “We were in Italy one night, and I was injured. I tore my Lat earlier in the tour, so they were having me announce the main event. The main event that night was JBL vs. Mark Henry.â€
He said, “They had me announce JBL, and he started singing America the Beautiful. And he sang it terribly, completely off key, and all at once you hear the crowd start this. They were chanting almost, and it just got louder and louder, and they were singing their own national anthem, and the building was rumbling, it was such a cool experience.â€
Anderson compared that atmosphere to Bad Bunnyâ€s legendary entrance at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico but in reverse. “It was the opposite of, you ever see when Bad Bunny came to the ring in Puerto Rico? It was the opposite of that. The heat version of that.†[H/T: Wrestletalk]
