WWE Hall of Famer JBL revealed on Something to Wrestle With that he has come close to stepping back in the ring several times since retiring in 2009, including a WWE storyline Vince McMahon nearly greenlit and even a scheduled TNA match this past summer. JBL explained that he once pitched McMahon an idea to team with Heath Slater during their “JBL and Cole Show” days. “There was a time with Heath Slater, we were doing the JBL and Cole show, and he was my nephew Clem,” JBL said. “I wanted to do a spot where I came back and tag team with Heath… I talked to Vince about it. “I had a scheduled match for TNA for this past summer,” he revealed.
