Things have really escalated over the past few days after the release of Justin Roberts’ new book: ‘Best Seat in the House’. The book shares a few stories about him being bullied by JBL backstage.
Former WWE star Wade Barrett took to Twitter to comment on Roberts’ book and JBL:
Enjoyed reading @JustinRoberts new book. Some of his experiences & frustrations mirrored my own, some did not.

I loved working with @JCLayfield & found him to be a class act & one of my favorite people in WWE. He was a huge help to me career-wise.

Everyone has their own experience & perspective, and @JustinRoberts story is a unique and fascinating one that’s definitely worth a read.

Roberts responded:
Definitely a different person in that period of time, coming back to the company after what happened. Glad your experience was good! https://t.co/ja9GO1hC8Z

Let us know what you think in the comment section below. We have to wonder if WWE will do anything about the situation or not.
I have no problem whatsoever believing JBL is a bully behind the scenes. If anyone paid attention to the horrible way he treated Byron Saxton when they were on the same announce team, they know how nasty he gets on air. Can’t imagine what that jerk is like off air. He is annoying, irritating and exasperating. He contributes almost nothing to the commentary. Hell yes, #FireJBL!
JBL gets his rocks off ribbing the millennials. I don’t think he should be fired… I just think you could either standup to him or just not acknowledge him. eventually he would see how silly he looks jabbing at someone who is oblivious to him.
That tactic doesn’t work on bullies any more. They need a much more powerful consequence and message.
