6/12/20262 hr 8 min
On this episode of Something To Wrestle, John Layfield and Conrad Thompson dive headfirst into some of the biggest talking points in wrestling today, with JBL holding nothing back.
The guys discuss the legendary championship belt Conrad has been pursuing for years and the incredible story behind why it's become one of the most sought-after pieces of wrestling memorabilia in existence. JBL also weighs in on the latest headlines surrounding Vince McMahon, sharing his perspective on why he believes Vince has always had a unique ability to navigate even the most challenging situations.
Never one to shy away from controversy, JBL sounds off on criticism directed at Road Dogg's creative contributions, explaining why he believes those dismissing his work don't fully understand the realities of the wrestling business. Plus, John tackles one of wrestling's most fascinating phenomena—Danhausen. While JBL admits he still can't quite explain the magic behind the fan favorite's popularity, he reveals why he's become such a fan of what Danhausen brings to the industry.
And finally, JBL reveals the one current WWE Superstar he would love to manage, breaking down exactly why he believes that talent has all the tools to reach another level with the right guidance.
