JBL Calls Vince McMahon "Like an adopted father or older brother" to him

While speaking on the Something To Wrestle With podcast, WWE Hall of Famer John Layfield aka JBL commented on the last time he spoke with former WWE owner Vince McMahon…

“It’s been within the year. We never really were texting guys, or we never were, you know, phone call guys. He called me if he needed something, and I’d call him if I needed something. He would always answer the phone, and, of course, I always answer for him.”

“He’s my boss, but was much more than that to me. I felt like a lot of guys did. So many people talk about Vince as if they felt almost like he is an adopted father or older brother. I was the same, and I’m not special in that regard. A lot of guys felt the same way about him.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
