Anyone else feel like JBL is being shoved aside? On Smackdown he was a big force, but now he is just an afterthought. Batista-Santino got more attention on the show than Batista-JBL.

Nope. I think JBL is a main-stay main eventer, who is easing into mid-card position, but can be used for world title feuds... so no, not being shoved aside, just not the star of the brand.

Not being shoved aside enough. He is horrid in the ring. He got really fat while he was the commentator on SD! and the clothesline from hell gets less effective each week

He's kind of being shoved aside, yeah, but it's for the best. He was great in his 2004-2006 heyday, but the spark hasn't been there since his return.

Im kinda glad I never really like JBL as a wrestler to me he should be a manager as he is great on the mic.

I think they have a lot of main eventers right now, so they can't all be going after the world title.
which makes me happy. there needs to be a lot of top guys... That's why the 80s worked so well.

The 80s didn't have a ton of top guys, it was just that everyone seemed important because they hardly ever lost on TV. |

JBL was great in his prime 2000 with the APA till 2006. JBL is getting up there in age and looks more and more out of shape every time he steps in the ring. I can see him still in the title hunt...but he won't win it. He'll eventually either win the IC title or call it quits within the next 2 years.

I liked JBL and his reign on SD was supreme. However since returning he hasnt been the same. He is gross to watch and just lacks credibility (after losing to punk so many times) and theres just a certain something missing. Perhaps you could say he is not shoved aside but underutilised. However, at the moment i dont see much to utilise.  |

He's probably getting shoved aside as he most probably thinking of retirement. Due to his back injury.

No big loss if they do shove him aside. I think he is way past his prime and should return to announcing or perhaps manage someone. He is a decent talker and would probably do well in that capacity. Just imagine how far he will fall down the depth chart when Cena comes back.

i still enjoy watching him wrestle, and him on the mic. but i wouldnt like to see him as champion again.
his clothes line for hell is sill amazing but only on some people, like london, rey, small people that can sell it well.

He has only one big victory to his name this year. I like JBL a lot. I don't think he needs the strap or anything right now, but he's not very credible anymore. Every PPV it's the same thing: JBL gets upset, is furious on Raw, obliterates a bunch of midcarders, somehow gets another title shot.

I think he's fine where he is, for a veteran at his age and shape he should be used less if anything or as a mouthpiece for somebody with bad mic skills nobody comes to mind except maybe Burchill,Deuce,Chuck Palumbo

His mic skills and overness means his going to be at the top of the card for as long as he can wrestle but since his ring skills have declined since coming back I feel he should be an upper midcarder but then since WWE doesn't seem to have a midcard anymore a lower main eventer is the right place for him which is were he is. It's not been pushed aside but rather being put in the right place and letting others have a run with the ball.

I'm actually surprised at how long JBL's been in the main event on Raw.
