EFFY comments on JBL's attack and a potential future match between them.
John Bradshaw Layfield spontaneously appeared at GCW Homecoming to drop EFFY with two Clotheslines from Hell. Bradshaw has since said that he was simply answering the call from GCW GM Matt Cardona. Still, that doesn't mean that EFFY isn't interested in revenge.
Speaking in an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, EFFY addressed the attack, the running theme of wrestling legends coming to GCW just to get a piece of him, and commented on what would need to happen in order for him to step into the ring with the former WWE Champion.
"He clotheslined me twice, and at this point, like it'd be a funnier joke if it wasn't susceptible to pain for EFFY. Because everybody wants a piece of EFFY. Nobody wants to say it out loud. Nobody wants to put their hand in the race and say, 'EFFY is doing good work. EFFY is taking care of wrestling,' but they do want to come touch me. You don't have to kill me to touch me," he said. "I know Cardona is paying him off. I have the feeling. Our fearless GM, who's back in action, whoever you have to call, whatever you have to do. Eventually, I get to Mance Warner, even if I have to, I guess, deal with JBL. What have I done?
When asked if EFFY wrestling Bradshaw is a possibility in 2024 or 2025, EFFY said he would do the match on his terms. First, he wants to see the imbalanced seesaw of benefits even itself out and understand what he has to gain by taking on the match before he actually agrees to one.
"He's like... old. I feel like I've studied my veterans better now, but I also need to know, looking over at JBL, that EFFY gains as much from fighting JBL as JBL gains from fighting EFFY. I think it's an imbalanced seesaw at this point," said EFFY. "Let me get prepared. Let me do it on my terms. We'll deal with it. We'll handle it. I got too many enemies."
Responding to these comments, John Bradshaw Layfield would say that his being called old is, well, accurate. Still, it's not very nice.
Old? JBL is old? Not very nice, true, but not nice. https://t.co/o7PtEQFRqK
