JBL is Over! Classic promo. However the talent is lacking on Raw tonight probably the worst I’ve saw in a long time. Lace them up JBL you are needed more than being a mouthpiece!

One Michael Jordan fan got offended.
Michael Jordan ain’t a loser. He is very successful with owning the NASCAR team 23XI with co-owner Denny Hamlin.
