In a recent episode of Something To Wrestle With, WWE Hall of Famer John “Bradshaw” Layfield (JBL) discussed several topics, including why he stepped back from his commentary role with WWE.

“I didn’t like the travel, it wasn’t the commentary, it was the travel. I was living in Bermuda and I was traveling two flights almost every week, sometimes all the way to the West Coast, and I just didn’t like the travel.

I loved the commentary, if I could have done commentary in my house, I’d have done it forever, and you know, they move on and now they’ve got you know, great commentaries out there and there’s not a spot for me, and there shouldn’t be, because these guys are fantastic, but the main thing was, it was just the travel.

I got tired of getting on a plane every week, I have 6.3 million miles on American Airlines alone, and I’m just sick of getting on, to this day, getting on planes wore me out.”
