JBL Responds to Fan Backlash Following “Zombie Eddie Guerrero” Comment Made During WWE Raw

February 3, 2015

As seen on Raw last night, when Luke Harper was making his way to the ring for his match against Ryback, JBL said Harper looked like a “Zombie Eddie Guerrero.”

This angered many fans on social media, and caused them to lash out at both JBL and WWE. JBL later addressed the fan backlash by posting the following on his Facebook page:

“The spot with Luke Harper I saw some Twitter comments over. I had just mentioned Walking Dead show and Luke does the ‘Eddie’ spot over the top rope, my comment (since I had mentioned Rick Grimes before toward Luke) was ‘it looks like a zombie Eddie Guerrero’. This was a WALKING DEAD reference toward Luke-who I have said before looks like a ‘walker’.

I would NEVER insult my friend Eddie, for those who took it wrong-sorry about that, but it is what it is.”
