WWE Hall Of Famer Reveals Vince McMahon Shut Down His In-Ring Return

A WWE Hall of Famer almost came out of retirement for a hilarious storyline, but was stopped by Vince McMahon.

On the latest episode of Something To Wrestle, WWE Hall of Famer JBL spoke about his in-ring retirement in 2009 and how he almost returned a few years later to team up with Heath Slater before Vince McMahon killed the idea instead.

“There was a time with Heath Slater, we were doing the JBL and Cole show, and he was my nephew Clem,” JBL said. “I wanted to do a spot where I came back and tag team with Heath… I talked to Vince about it.

“He really thought about it hard, and he almost did it. I was hoping that he would. The first thing he says is ‘interesting,’ and I could tell that he wasn’t shooting it down, but he ended up, he ended up killing it.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
