10 Most Notorious JBL Urban Legends

1. He Gave Eddie Guerrero's Mother A Heart Attack

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6ceu3_eddie-guerrero-s-mother-has-a-heart_sport The Legend: That JBL gave Eddie Guerrero's mother a legitimate heart attack. Why People Believe It: Because for some people, seeing is believing. So when they saw footage of Eddie Guerrero's mother supposedly suffering a 'mild heart attack' during a May 2004 house show in Eddie's home town of El Paso, Texas, they thought that it might be legit. After all, this was a house show event, not Raw, Smackdown or PPV. Perhaps something had went wrong when JBL put his hand on Eddie's mothers' shoulder and she had suffered an actual heart attack? Is It True: No, this was an angle. WWE would never have used the footage, had Mrs. Guerrero suffered a real heart attack. Despite some comments on YouTube videos and Internet message boards, it's fair to say that most people know this to be the case. An issue was needed for the Eddie/JBL feud since JBL's racist cheap heat had failed to do the job so far and they needed to shift poor ticket sales. The angle worked, and WWE ended up selling out the Staples Center in Los Angeles, drawing 19,000 people to the show (most of whom were there to see Eddie versus JBL).
