Pro wrestling veteran JBL recently appeared as a guest on Chavo Guerrero’s “Suplexes and Cervezas” podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During his appearance on the popular pro wrestling program hosted by the fellow former WWE performer, JBL explained why he feels the formula of giving fans what they want, when they want it in the wrestling business is not a successful one.
Featured below is an excerpt from the show where JBL touches on this particular topic.
“If I was writing [The] Walking Dead and I had gotten my way, The Governor would’ve been killed the first 15 minutes of the first show. I had to watch two seasons to see this guy get his head cut off or whatever happened to him. That’s the business. You wanna kill a territory? Let the fans book it because they’re gonna do what they want. You can’t give ‘em what they want. I don’t wanna see a movie and get what I want because I want to see Joffrey, King Joffrey get killed right away in Game of Thrones. Instead, you take him out for several seasons but that keeps you interested.”
