JBL has responded to a claim from Buff Bagwell that he once tried to end his in-ring career.

JBL has built a reputation over the years of being a backstage bully. Some have accused him of purposely working stiff against those he didn’t like, although others will tell you it was simply JBL’s in-ring style.

Longtime fans haven’t forgotten the time JBL was drunk during ECW One Night Stand 2005 and he bloodied up The Blue Meanie with legit punches. As it turns out, Blue Meanie actually had a cut from The Sandman prior and JBL’s shots just made the blood pour.

Ultimately, the two made amends and have had a good laugh reflecting on the incident.

More recently, however, former WCW star Buff Bagwell accused John Bradshaw Layfield of attempting to end his career during a dark segment many years ago.

JBL denied the accusations to Buff and the two quickly squashed any potential animosity.
