On a recent edition of the “Huge Pop” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer JBL explained his lack of interest in becoming a WWE agent.
JBL recounted a specific incident when he served as an agent for the match between Sami Zayn and Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) at WrestleMania 36.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On not having any interest in becoming an agent for WWE: “I don’t think so. I’ve told Sami Zayn this, so it’s not a secret. I was Sami Zayn’s agent one time and after that, I quit. I love Sami. He’s one of the best characters I’ve ever seen. I love Sami. I was a guy who said, ‘How long you need? 12 minutes. Okay. What’s the finish?’ That’s all I needed. (Randy) Savage was just like Sami.”
On agenting Sami Zayn vs. Bryan Danielson at WrestleMania 36: “I remember I called a match at WrestleMania where there was no crowd and Sami was in there with Daniel Bryan. Without the crowd, it sucked and was tough. Sami was screaming at one point. Every time Daniel kicked him. I thought, ‘This is brilliant.’ It made the match. He was crying at one point. What a great heel. I love Sami, but I don’t want to be his agent. That was my retirement ceremony.”
