John Bradshaw Layfield names Cody Rhodes and Nic Nemeth as names he wishes he could have wrestled during his career.
John Bradshaw Layfield competed in WWE across the 1990s and 2000s, but by 2009, his career inside the squared circle was finished for good. In the ensuing sixteen years, many top wrestlers have found their stride and now, Bradshaw is reflecting on the names he wishes he could have shared the ring with.
Speaking on the most recent episode of the Something to Wrestle podcast, Bradshaw named Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, and Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, as the wishlist of opponents.
"Cody Rhodes, no doubt about it. He's the guy. He's the face of the company. But also the size difference, I worked really well with guys that I had a size advantage on. I understood that very well. I also worked, I felt pretty well with guys that I had a size advantage with, where they were much bigger, you had Big Show, you had Undertaker and Kane, you had some guys like that that I really enjoyed working with. But Cody Rhodes, I mean, that would be so fun. I think so much of Cody. Loved Cody since the JBL and Cole show and I think it'd be a lot of fun to work with Cody. I tell you, the other guys I work with, I would love to work with Jacob Fatu. He's awesome. My God. That'd be so much fun to work with a guy like that, who could do so much stuff. I mean, that would be a blast. I mean, that would be so much fun to do.
"The other guy, you mentioned three people, the other guy, Dolph, Nic. I mean, I've never seen Dolph have a bad match, and I saw him have matches with Del Rio. My style and Del Rio's are similar. Del Rio is better than me, but the style is similar, and I see how that style works. There's just an old, simple style when a heel is bigger and can beat up the babyface, and that babyface works from underneath. Dolph has such incredible fire and is so talented, I think we could really have some good matches."
JBL is currently working with Nic Nemeth to a degree. During every appearance he's had in TNA Wrestling, Bradshaw has helped Nemeth retain the TNA Wrestling World Championship. Bradshaw claims he hasn't overarching plan for all of his appearances. Learn more here.
Nemeth, on the other hand, claims he doesn't know what Bradshaw is up to. Read his comments here.
