WWE Hall of Famer JBL recently took to his official Twitter (X) account and talked about the infamous angle involving the late great fellow WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero and Guerrero’s mother at a 2004 WWE house show in El Paso, Texas.
During the angle, JBL confronted Guerrero’s mother who had a heart attack and had to be taken out on a stretcher. According to JBL, he needed a police escort and was told to drive out to Odessa, Texas.
JBL wrote, “The police gave me an escort out of town and told me to drive to Odessa, Texas and fly out from there. They told me they thought I would be killed if I stayed in El Paso. I had to leave so fast to prevent a riot I was driving in my wrestling gear. Chavo Sr and Eddie’s idea to do this-we sold out the Staples Center off this storyline. When this video aired, everything changed-JBL had heat like few have had. I owe everything to Eddie and the Guerrero family. Viva la raza.”
