JBL made his name for years as part of WWE’s roster, but his first meeting with Vince McMahon saw the former CEO prank the Texan.

On a recent edition of the “Something to Wrestle” podcast, JBL shared the unusual idea McMahon teased having for him in WWE. He said,

“I go to WWE headquarters, I never met Vince — Vince didn’t even see my tryout match, so this is the first time he ever met me. He looks at me and he goes, ‘I have in mind, a really unique idea. I’m gonna make you a heel ballerina.”

JBL thought the idea was “crazy” and regretted turning down WCW until McMahon burst out laughing and confirmed Bradshaw would be a cowboy.

Looking back, the WWE Hall of Famer admitted that McMahon’s prank was funny, even if his belief at the time was “this man’s nuts.”

After years as the cowboy, JBL would become Bradshaw of the Acolytes before transitioning into the APA and eventually his heel millionaire character.
