During a recent appearance on “GAW TV”, WWE Hall of Famer JBL gave some high praise to Fit Finlay, calling him one of the greatest he’s ever seen.
Additionally, he recalled the time where Fit Finlay knocked one of his teeth out.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Finlay’s WCW and WWE runs: “By the time he came to the States, he was older and he got hurt a little bit, and he wasn’t like he was back in the early ’90s. I wish America could have seen him back in the late ’80s, early ’90s, he was the best I’ve ever seen.”
On Finlay’s backstage work with the women’s division: “Then he got handed the women and … he helped turn, many of the women did it as well, helped turn that into the incredible [division] that we have today, this incredible movement.”
On trying to no-sell Finlay knocking his tooth out: “He came back into the dressing room and he said, ‘Everything okay?’ I knew my tooth had been knocked out, and I said, ‘Yeah, it’s fine’ … I took a bite out of the sandwich and my tooth fell out. I go, ‘That bastard knocked my tooth out,’ and he was right around the corner and he came to me and goes, ‘Yes!’ and left. He was so happy.”
