As seen on Raw last night, when Luke Harper was making his way to the ring for his match against Ryback, JBL said Harper looked like a “Zombie Eddie Guerrero.”

This angered many fans on social media, and caused them to lash out at both JBL and WWE. JBL later addressed the fan backlash by posting the following on his Facebook page:

“The spot with Luke Harper I saw some Twitter comments over. I had just mentioned Walking Dead show and Luke does the ‘Eddie’ spot over the top rope, my comment (since I had mentioned Rick Grimes before toward Luke) was ‘it looks like a zombie Eddie Guerrero’. This was a WALKING DEAD reference toward Luke-who I have said before looks like a ‘walker’.

I would NEVER insult my friend Eddie, for those who took it wrong-sorry about that, but it is what it is.”

JBL and Eddie were good friends, people need to relax.

There's a reason JBL got worst announcer of the year

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, that was in bad taste.

Seen/Heard worse. Remember Mike Adamle?

^ he was bad because he had no business being in wrestling

Well he was a flop, yeah. But people thought the same about Renée Young when she "arrived", and look how good she's turned out to be. :o

By the comparison, I meant that it could be worse. The comments they made several (countless) times, making fun of Jim Ross for example.

Don't you just love apologies that aren't really apologies.

"For those who took it wrong - sorry about that."

JBL...douche bag.

Does anyone remember the Joey Styles/ Mike Awesome incident???

When Joey was throwing insults at him at ECW One Night Stand?

yeah haha. He was talking shit about him throughout the whole match. Even said he wished he had Killed himself... 2 years later the guy killed himself. When asked about it Joey Styles said everything he said was legit, and that since it was the end of ECW (they though) he was just saying how he felt.

I loved Mike Adamle. He was so bad, but so entertaining.

Kofi is Jamaican me crazy.

Ehhh, they weren't that good of friends. Pretty shitty comment.

That's like saying "he's falling over like the 9/11 towers, right now!"

Than explaining "i had just mentioned the NYC Firefighters, Luke reminds of a NYC Firefighter. They are the bravest and best. I would never disrespect the 9/11 tragedy... blah blah blah"

Or something other half-ass/half-brain attempt at explaining himself. Just no sell it buddy, stay off twitter.

Actually they WERE good friends and people are being cunts.

There's a song that's chorus includes the lines "collapsing like the twin towers."

Fuck yo' feelings!

They weren't that good friends.

Yes they were.

I wasn't remotely offended by this. Fucking overreacting morons
