WWE recently brought back WWE Hall of Famer JBL to manage Baron Corbin. JBL has been doing heel promos in recent weeks praising Corbin as a wrestling god, a nickname he used when he was still wrestling.
Following JBL’s promo segment on Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, fellow WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair chastised the company for using JBL while endorsing an anti-bullying program and criticized WWE for inducting him into the Hall Of Fame.
Flair wrote, “I Guess The Anti Bullying Program You So Heavily Endorsed Does Not Apply To Bradshaw!! Jason Roberts And Joey Styles!! What A Joke! And He’s In The HOF! Sad!”

There have been stories about JBL from wrestlers who claim he was a bully backstage in WWE by taking ribs/pranks too far, and it was not in a good-natured way.
The Blue Meanie accused him of firing hard shots at him during their brawl at an ECW One Night Stand show, which left Meanie bloodied and injured. Other accusations came from Justin Roberts in his book a few years ago, as well as the situation with Mauro Ranallo when he was on the SmackDown commentary team with JBL.
Last month, Flair provided an update on the WWE documentary about his life and career. Flair believes the documentary will be released by the end of 2022, either during Thanksgiving or the week before Christmas. After requesting his release, Flair and WWE parted ways in August 2021.
