10 Most Over-Pushed WWE Stars Ever
3. JBL
JBL is a great commentator and (so we're told) an even better businessman. He's even a serviceable wrestler in the right contexts - and if you ever need someone to put a cocky upstart back in line with a few stiff blows, he's your guy.
But he's probably not the sort of you guy on whose shoulder you place your promotion's biggest prize for the better part of a year, especially on a roster that included the likes of Eddie Guerrero (from whom he won it), The Undertaker and John Cena (albeit John Cena when he was still in the womb).
Paul Heyman was a little harsh when he suggested that Triple H's refusal to work Tuesdays was the sole reason JBL got his push, but that line also wouldn't have been funny if weren't at least a tiny bit true as well.
