WWE Hall of Famer JBL appeared on Something To Wrestle With, where he discussed several topics, including 3 wrestlers he wishes he could have faced during his in-ring career.
JBL said, “Cody Rhodes, no doubt about it. He’s the guy. He’s the face of the company. But also the size difference, I worked really well with guys that I had a size advantage on. I understood that very well. I also worked, I felt pretty well with guys that I had a size advantage with, where they were much bigger, you had Big Show, you had Undertaker and Kane, you had some guys like that that I really enjoyed working with. But Cody Rhodes, I mean, that would be so fun. I think so much of Cody. Loved Cody since the JBL and Cole show and I think it’d be a lot of fun to work with Cody. I tell you, the other guys I work with, I would love to work with Jacob Fatu. He’s awesome. My God. That’d be so much fun to work with a guy like that, who could do so much stuff. I mean, that would be a blast. I mean, that would be so much fun to do. The other guy, you mentioned three people, the other guy, Dolph, Nic. I mean, I’ve never seen Dolph have a bad match, and I saw him have matches with Del Rio. My style and Del Rio’s are similar. Del Rio is better than me, but the style is similar, and I see how that style works. There’s just an old, simple style when a heel is bigger and can beat up the babyface, and that babyface works from underneath. Dolph has such incredible fire and is so talented, I think we could really have some good matches.”
