WWE Hall Of Famer JBL Once Praised The Modern Locker Room
In a 2022 interview with Inside the Ropes’ own Liam Alexander-Stewart, John Bradshaw Layfield opened up about the respectful atmosphere in the modern WWE locker room, praising the roster for their respectfulness. He said:
“You know, when I go in, I dress in the TV locker room, which is usually me and Booker T and some of the old guys I started with. And, you know, the guys come by and they’re very respectful. You know, they always come by and say, hello, shake your hand and, you know, it’s very nice that they carry on that tradition and how respectful they are.
“But I’m not in their locker room. I pass through it sometimes. Sometimes I need to go talk to somebody, but I have no idea what’s going on in the locker room. I just know from my interaction with the talent backstage about how respectful these guys are.”
