"God’s Gift to Wrestling": The WWE Legend Who Earned a Hall of Famer’s Highest Praise
Speaking on the latest edition of
Something to Wrestle, JBL acknowledged Gable's crucial role in elevating Penta's arrival. "Gable's the perfect opponent for a guy like Penta," JBL declared.
He said, “They [WWE] do debuts better than anybody else. It’s absolutely unbelievable. To put him out there with Chad Gable, Gable is God’s gift to wrestling, man. He’s just like a modern-day Kurt Angle. He can do absolutely anything. He is so freaking talented and so good at what he does. He’s a lot like Kurt as far as what he does with his microphone skills, what he does in the ring, he can do comedy, he does serious stuff, he can be a great wrestler. I mean, that’s the right guy, and that’s so important to put Penta out there with somebody like Chad Gable. Now, Penta, obviously, is a huge star. He’s gonna be a star no matter what. But you give him a guy like Chad Gable, and Gable helps make him.”
But JBL didn't stop there. He heaped praise on Penta himself, highlighting his star power and global appeal.
He noted, “I thought the debut was absolutely fantastic. It’s going to really help. This is huge, I think, for WWE, especially with the Latino population… He’s like Rey Mysterio. You say, ‘Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest Luchadors of all time.’ Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest of all time period. This has nothing to do with any type of demographic, but it does help when you want to run Mexico, when you want to run the Southwest in the United States, to have a great Latino star, and he is absolutely fantastic.”
