He was even, briefly, an agent for WWE.

"I don't think so," JBL replied on Huge Pop when asked if he had any interest in being an agent. "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. 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."

JBL has made appearances at MLW, TNA Wrestling, GCW, and AAA Lucha Libre in the past month.
