Then: Bradshaw fared better than his APA teammate Faarooq at the 2001 Rumble. He worked almost 18 minutes - though he wasn't booked to eliminate anyone, the future World Champ was written to get thrown out by no less a star than The Undertaker.

That's a decent shift.

Now: As JBL, Bradshaw went on to bigger than better things a few years after the 2001 Rumble. He carved a healthy career for himself as a braggart heel, then parlayed that into several successful commentary runs. Layfield is set to be inducted into the 2020 HOF whenever WWE are able.
