A WWE Hall of Famer found himself tied upside down during a match. JBL who was his opponent at the time revealed how he reacted to the situation.

Big Boss Man was one of the most popular stars during WWE's Attitude Era. He wrestled for the promotion for several years and was one of the top heels in the company. Big Boss Man wrestled against some of the best wrestlers in the company at the time, including JBL.

During a recent episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's What Were They Thinking? With JBL and Brisco, Bradshaw said that Big Boss Man suggested he send him into the ropes so that he can hang upside down. After the move was done successfully, Boss Man found himself dangling from the ropes and asked his opponent for help. Instead of helping him out, Bradshaw decided to work the crowd and cut a promo while the WWE Hall of Famer was hanging upside down.

"I was wrestling him [Big Boss Man] and he goes, 'Hey, I think I can tie myself upside down in the ropes'. I said, 'What?' He goes, 'Shoot me into the ropes. I'm gonna tie myself upside down.' And so, I shot him into the ropes and he somehow went over the top rope, underneath the middle, and outside the bottom one and he's literally tied himself upside down in the ropes. I've never seen it done before and all of a sudden, he thinks he can do it and as he's done it, he's so proud of himself."

JBL continued:

"I mean we're in a show in the middle of a match. I'm looking at him and I go, 'How did he do that?' And he looks at me and he goes, 'Uh, uh, uh, uh, I can't get out. Help me!' And I go, 'No, I'm not! I want to see how this is.' He goes, 'Uh, no, no, come help me.' So, I just went and worked the crowd. I cut a promo. He's all tied up upside down in the ropes."

JBL on if John Cena should win his 17th world title

John Cena is one of the greatest of all time in the pro wrestling industry. He has won numerous world titles during his time in WWE. With The Cenation Leader about to call time on his incredible career, there are many who want to see him win his 17th world title.

During a live Q&A featuring JBL and Gerald Brisco on WrestleBinge, they were asked if Cena should win his 17th world title. JBL praised Cena for being a world champion during the PG era and said that he would like to see him win the world championship one more time.

"I would, too, 100 percent. John Cena had the hardest role in wrestling history. He followed the Attitude Era, where you can flip off your boss and drink beer on television. You know, girls were out there sometimes wearing nothing. And he had to have a PG to G-rated era, and to be champion in that era, I don't know if anybody in the business would have done that except John Cena. It's incredible what he did. But yes, I'd love to see him win the 17th." [22:41 onwards]
