WWE Coach

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that Jonathan Coachman (aka Coach) will be replacing JBL as the color commentator on Smackdown.

When JBL left the broadcasting table to return to the ring, a void was created.

WWE auditioned several people as a replacement, including Michael Hayes and Tazz.

Michael Hayes is Smackdown’s lead writer. Putting him at the broadcasting table would take away even more time from his writing. There’s already a handful of wrestlers who don’t have storylines on Smackdown.

Tazz would have been a good choice, but that would mean that WWE would have to find a replacement for him on ECW. Management wasn’t too fond of the idea of using Tazz for both shows.

So, for the time being, Jonathan Coachman will fill in next to play by play commentator Michael Cole.

Of course, this could be a temporary thing. Jonathan Coachman already has a role as Vince McMahon’s executive assistant. Plus, he’s stated in the past that he doesn’t want to be a full time commentator. He doesn’t mind filling in.

Can’t say that we disagree with Jonathan Coachman. He’s a gifted talker and his character is well defined.

It’d almost be waste to have him commentating, don’t you think?

WWE JBL

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that JBL will be producing and marketing a brand new energy drink.

JBL has partnered up with Baywood International, Inc. to produce the energy drink.The two parties have created Layfield Energy and hope to have the product in retail stores and online by January of 2008.

“I know how to make a big splash and, believe me, we will make a huge one. I have endorsed several products over the years, and now I am truly thrilled about being involved with my own project. I am not only going to be endorsing the product, but I will be running the company full time with the great management at Baywood. I believe in my marketing team and I believe in the product and, together, this will be a great ride.”

- JBL

JBL has a close personal relationship with Vince McMahon, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise to see WWE doing some marketing for the new drink. Of course, WWE also has their own energy drink on the market called Socko Energy, so it’ll be interesting if they do market JBL’s new drink or not.

WWE JBL

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that WWE TV producer Kevin Dunn and Michael Cole have been auditioning people to replace JBL at the commentator’s booth.

For the past several weeks, there have been talks about JBL getting back into the ring after taking time off to heal his injuries. It looks like his return has officially started after he attacked Chris Jericho during the WWE Heavyweight Championship match at Armageddon.

WWE has not revealed the names of those who auditioned for the role of Smackdown’s color commentator. There’s still a possibility that Tazz can take over the role (in addition to his role as ECW’s color commentator).

WWE JBL

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that management is leaning towards having JBL and Chris Jericho wrestle one another at Wrestlemania 24.

Chris Jericho’s feud with Randy Orton is expected to be over pretty soon. The reaction to the feud has been lackluster, so management wants to move Chris Jericho on to something else. A feud between Chris Jericho and JBL is sure to produce some awesome moments on the microphone.

It was reported a few weeks back that JBL had started working out again to prepare to return to the ring in 2008.

WWE APA

WrestlingRevealed.com has learned that JBL was on Raw last night because he will be traveling with them to the Middle East this week.

For those that are wondering, the APA reunion will not be a permanent thing. It can’ t be a permanent thing because it wouldn’t make sense. The APA gimmick is that of two guys who get paid to provide protection. The JBL character is different from the Bradshaw character in that the JBL character is a financial success.

Anyways, JBL will be traveling with the Raw crew over to the Middle East to be on WWE’s annual show for the troops. As always, the location for the show will be withheld from the public due to security issues.

JBL is expected to return to his duties as the Smackdown color commentator when he returns to the country later on this week. There are also reports that he’s still working out in preparations of a full time return to the ring.

ECW John Morrison

After the Smackdown tapings on Tuesday night, a backstage fight broke out between John Morrison and JBL.

JBL had called a meeting with John Morrison, the Miz, MVP, CM Punk, Matt Hardy, and others. JBL basically yelled at the Miz and John Morrison for their work on color commentary. He didn’t like how the two were making CM Punk look bad. He felt that they had gone too far. Afterwards, JBL yelled at the Miz and John Morrison for not performing well in their match against Matt Hardy and MVP.

JBL demanded that the Miz and John Morrison apologize to CM Punk, Matt Hardy, and MVP.

The Miz did what he was told and apologized. John Morrison, though, didn’t.

John Morrison stated that he would be willing to apologize to the guys, but he wasn’t going to do it simply because JBL had told him to. He also told JBL that this was none of his business.

More words were exchanged between the two, and a shoving match ensued before the agents broke things up.

Kudos to John Morrison for standing up for himself.
