I don't know his move a closeline from hell. The move is actually a lariat. Som of the commentators anounced as a lariat. They're actually similar but they're different move. A closeline you keep your arm straight but lariat you rap your arm around the neck or chest of your opponent.
Other finishers: **requires the other guy to help selling the move** JBL's clothesline from hell: "you either sell the move by your own, or i'll sell it for you"
@@bboyg1 if you're talking about rey mysterio. Imo Rey's finisher is one of the worst to look at. It doesn't look realistic at all. No one EVER puts their Neck in the ropes in a match unless it's with Rey. It's so random. When you look at it you say "why in the world would he do that? Why not just fall down and not rest on the ropes?" I love rey but sometimes it's Awkward to look at how his finisher looks. I know it's acting but come on now. Be more realistic. Still love it Everytime but it just looks weird. Sorry about my random rambling. I just always thought of this lol
Crazy how he was able to reinvent himself time and time again and yet the audience ate it up. It’s more impressive that bradshaw looked younger when he was older. Really a underrated wrestler.
Cant even lie. He's one of my favorites of all time. Hated him when I was younger watching his JBL gimmick but now I realize he just did his job very well lol
Guys his size weren't even allowed to have a flashy moveset nor were they allowed to sell for little guys. They used to make attempt to have wrestling make sense. Nowadays it's scripted gymnastics. It looks so incredibly fake
I liked it when he used to give a little pause between clothesline and from hell, it was like "Clothesline....from hell", I don't know I just thought it sounded cooler.
Once host asked with Batista ... "Which one is the most dangerous finisher with high impact you ever faced ... He replied ... " Clothline from hell from JBL ♥️ ... .. Highly impressive move 👌
Professional Wrestling is at it's most beautiful when great stories are told. Bradshaw's evolution into JBL through a long career is really a great story. This man has seen the WWE from the Golden Era/Pre-Attitude the Attitude Era, Ruthless Aggression Era & the PG Era.
JBL as a wrestler 1996-2009. 13 years is not TOO long as many of the stars from that era wrestled longer(eg: Sting, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy to name a few). But there is no denial JBL summited his own legacy in WWE.
@@tathagatabasu9952 True, you're right. Sting and Jeff Hardy are real time tested wrestlers. I just feel that JBL's post Bradshaw career was pure spectacle. He helped boost the Smackdown era during those mid-late 2000s. One of the few superstars from that brand during that era with good mic skills and a image that resonated with the times.
@@akeemjames2409 JBL proved he can withstand test of time. After departure of Rock, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg, he carried wwe for a sufficient time before Cena, Orton, Edge, Batista kicked in.
JBL, along with Farouq and hardcore holly, are Undertaker's enforcers for those wrestlers who dont follow the hierarchy or acting all high and mighty...
What's so great about the Clothesline From Hell is, it's a simple move, not too flashy, but because of its simplicity, it makes it easier for the recipient to greatly sell it, JBL's height and physique also help make it look like no ordinary clothesline, the ones where he rebounds from the ropes are my favourites
I don't care what anyone says, Bradshaw/JBL was one of the GOATS... Great on the mic, excellent heel, and arguably the easiest and safest and most impactful finisher, ever!
I never liked Bradshaw and thought he was rather boring but I think the clothes line from hell is one of the most vicious looking moves ever. It's amazing how he could take a simple move like a clothesline and make it look so damn devastating. I think the only person that I've ever seen who had a clothes line that looked that devastating was Stan Hansen's lariat which also looked incredibly devastating.
But Hansen was nearsighted and in his hands, the move was dangerous. You watch JBL and realize his contact was always across the chest, with the forearm maybe on the shoulders. Nowhere near the throat. Not as safe as Big Show's technique but then again nobody sold his clothesline like they did JBL.
It's amazing how awesome such a simple move can be, and what a fan favorite. It comes out of nowhere. Stan Hansen captivated Japanese crowds for many years with this move and it was not lost on Bradshaw.
1:16 that springboard looks so clean. We have a lot of high fliers in American wrestling now, but I remember my mind being blown seeing moves like that as a kid.
one of my favourite characters to use in No Mercy for N64. His character using the clothesline from hell finisher was one of the strongest in the game. AS IT SHOULD BE! He hits so friggen hard it's like you better sell just to reduce the impact!
Fun fact. Certain "normal" moves in the game had a secondary damage rating under specific conditions. For example, the Worm chop got 'A' or 'S' damage if you do the WORM taunt first. Similarly, the running Clothesline from Hell has 'S' level damage when your spirit metre is in "special".
@@wilfred_ho Regarding the running Clothesline from Hell, you have to do Kenta Kobashi's special taunt in order to increase it's power (from 12 to 30 damage, which is B-Tier), since the move came from Kobashi (Burning Lariat)
Remember in story mode for the hard-core title the APA would Approach you for protection? I normally would go with no & Bradshaw would swing that overhead attack that make the noise & K.O. my ass😂 Bradshaw no joke in that game!
One of the greatest finishers of all time, so realistic and executed with such tenacity & a fire name. It’s like the arm version of the sweet chin music, spontaneous!
It's not underrated stop it, it was always put over really well and always looked strong. And it's not like he was the first one to do it, Stan Hansen did it first and did it better.
It's even better when they bounce off of the corner and then AS they're recovering, get freight trained by JBL Also that ref almost met jeesus there wow
This move looks it's best i think when JBL starts slow then ramps up the speed to make it look more impactful. particularly the one at 2:36. Mysterio's sell was fantastic, but it was the suspenseful slow approach and ferocious/explosive impact that really takes this move to the next level.
From an ordinary clothesline with a glorified name performed by a young Bradshaw... To one of the most brutal and violent finishers of wwe performed by a expirienced JBL... Technique is everything.
He worked really hard to reach main event level status. Well deserved. One of the last great heels of WWE, after JBL & Edge, there seems to be no real heat from fans nowadays.
Even Michael Cole acknowledged how powerful is CLH in his recent interview . Cole went on saying that He was once covid +ve and JBL was pissed off so much because he lost poker game. JBL knocked out Cole with CLH in Rage so that tested -ve next day.
Awesome! I always picked JBL whenever I he was in a WWE game. My dad was always like “why you always be JBL?” Haha the clothesline is such a satisfying finish to any match and his size and the way his colleagues would sell the move made him one of my favourites.
Looking at him right now, makes me realize that whether you like him or not, you have to admit he's a legend he's been there for so long, and for a man his size he's agile it's definitely worth it that he became Champion after so many years, and they made him a Champion for quite a long time, although i do not like the JBL Character but still, The guy's a legend :)
He's perfect heel imo as JBL. Big and strong enough to be credible but crappy enough to not be impressive or likeable + perfect rich douchebag looks. Cena was lucky to have him and edge as heels
Check out Stan Hansen, he's the OG when it comes to really stiff looking lariat. JBL definitely kept carrying the torch well into 2000's after Hansen retired, Clothesline from Hell is like a tribute to Hansens legendary lariat.
@The World Is Trash Hogan was not the right person to use leg drop as a finisher. If someone with long legs like Sting, Undertaker, Chris Kanyon or Booker T used it, it would have made sense.
This is probably the best finisher anyone has ever had. It didn't require strength of power unlike powerbombs, powerslams or presses. Very minimal risk on Bradshaw's own body, something he could use his entire career. Not only that it was super quick and it looked like it knocked you into next week
@@anonymaenb5799 I personally think those who flips are the only ones legitimately selling it. I think the others who fall immediately on their backs don’t because they don’t need to lol
In the space of a week he went from a loved but going nowhere tag team wrestler to the top heel in the business in exactly 1 week. Absolutely genius move by WWE and JBL. He was hated so much you loved him for it.
One of the greatest heels of all time. I remember that transition was quick. Dude just came out with a cowboy hat and started smiling and it was a wrap
@@cluelesslawdamercyruthless6865 he refused to follow Farooq out the WWE when Farooq got fired. He changed his gimmick to a financial expert which he was actually legitimate at as he stared on Fox TV in a real role offering financial advice. He also caused legitimate hatred from Mexico for his hunting down of illegal immigrants when he feuded with Eddie who was probably the biggest baby face in WWE at that point. It was a huge change believe me!
This, for the the style of character of the wrestler performing it, the crowd involvement, and the visual component is just as good as the Stunner. Him running the ropes opposite of his opponents really adds to it.
This move is made immediately more impressive when you understand the fact that this man was Dlineman. I can only imagine what going against him in practice must've been like, JBL was a dawg
with peacock being a thing and having access to every wwe match ever, im able to relive childhood wwe moments from the adult perspective and edge and jbl are prob the greatest heels to ever do it
What a move! Simple but effective like everyone here has already said... i also like how he rebounds first from the ropes to set the finisher up, and how he bradshaw jbl looks glances at the victim after hitting the clothesline from hell, it he just looks very intimidating. Jbl bradshaw is a legend with that finisher!
@@LumpyAdams just really never got the recognition like the F5 or Fu or the angle slam. I know it wasn’t as deliberate but still, watching as a kid with my friends we just never seemed impressed. Lol
Clothesline From Hell. Still one of the best finishers for how simple but effective it is. JBL's opponents don't even neeed to do anything to sell the move. The clothesline sells itself perfectly.
There's a story with Bradshaw and the Clothesline from Hell. If you didn't sell this the first time, the next time you were in the ring with Bradshaw he would throw it harder and make you sell it.
@@revadarius2594 wrong he landed a lot if them with inner part near bicep on purpose. The force of that if he caught them clean would brake collar bones or risk a throat injury
This Video: “Close line from Hell!” “Close line from Hell!” “Look at this! Close line from Hell!” “Close line from Hell!” “Ohhh Close line from Hell!” “Close line from Hell!” 😂👏🏼
@@JBHtown1646 hes incorrect about the billy gunn sell, I thought that was the best. but the rocks stunner sell is highly overrated. funny, but not the best imo.
@@TheRuckus-ji4wt I don't think an opinion can truly be incorrect just different. But I would like to know who is his best sell on the clothesline from hell.
How can they miss the best 1. 2002 rumble match. Lance storm jumps into a corner, Bradshaw takes off like a cheetah to the ropes, coming off and takes storms head completely off. To say it nicely. Goldust saw it and his face said it all. He even said, he thought storm was destroyed by Bradshaw

He also caused legitimate hatred from Mexico for his hunting down of illegal immigrants when he feuded with Eddie who was probably the biggest baby face in WWE at that point.
It was a huge change believe me!
JBL one of the GOATs. Amazing in the ring.
2:27 “Uh oh. Oh my god.”
The fear in Taz’s voice is absolutely hilarious LOL
2:13 he glided with that beauty.
pretty sure shannon moore died after that 😂
That was a Dark Souls Decapitation yo...
Nobody:
Michael Cole: "CLOTHES LIIIIINE from HELL"
JBL: Did you see that? I LOVE IT MAGGLE!!!
The one where his opponent oversells it by ragdoll flying is what truly made the move looked destructive.
Michael Cole saying “clothesline from hell” is like a picture perfect sound bite of himself each time.
The Acolytes shoulda had a yearlong+ reign as champs
The tag team circuit was stack during that era. The belts were given to more popular teams.
The tag team belts were passed around the locker room like a dirty tramp back in those days. Nobody really got a super extended run.
@@TheTenCentStorythe APA were hugely over.
This, for the the style of character of the wrestler performing it, the crowd involvement, and the visual component is just as good as the Stunner.
Him running the ropes opposite of his opponents really adds to it.
Clothesline from hell along with stunner and sweet chin music are my favourite finishers of all time.
Some of these sells are unbelievable- flipping in midair at just the right moment just crazy
one of the most underrated finishers 😓
2:37 One of the best clotheslines ever
That was devastating lol
Bro that was disgusting 🤣🤣🤣
And he is kind of proud of it looking at his smile
Yeah that was fucking brutal
This move is made immediately more impressive when you understand the fact that this man was Dlineman. I can only imagine what going against him in practice must've been like, JBL was a dawg
Hell yeah, i don’t even wanna know what he would do with pads on… beast mode
@@MisterImpoliteJBL was so violent on the football field the Raiders cut him.
with peacock being a thing and having access to every wwe match ever, im able to relive childhood wwe moments from the adult perspective and edge and jbl are prob the greatest heels to ever do it
Still one of my most favorite finishers of all time so simple but so brutal at the same time
That 02:32 is scary as hell. I would shit my pants seeing him running towards me like that
The next one following to the one you mention, look how he smiles after delivering it like thinking "I almost ripped your head off. And I like it"
That was clean.....02:32
For a big dude he quick
I love that clothesline from hell he uses I love it
What a move! Simple but effective like everyone here has already said... i also like how he rebounds first from the ropes to set the finisher up, and how he bradshaw jbl looks glances at the victim after hitting the clothesline from hell, it he just looks very intimidating. Jbl bradshaw is a legend with that finisher!
i can watch this all day.
so nice, so satisfying.
Most underappreciated finisher of all time
Underappreciated in what way?
@@LumpyAdams just really never got the recognition like the F5 or Fu or the angle slam. I know it wasn’t as deliberate but still, watching as a kid with my friends we just never seemed impressed. Lol
Because it's a simple clothesline. Brock Lesnar's clotheslines look far more devastating and he doesn't even use it as a finisher.
I love it whenever a Superstar sells the move by rolling back after it hits, it just males the Clothesline from Hell look that much more effective
Bradshaw's Clothesline From Hell during the Attitude Era & Ruthless Aggression Era is one the best finishers I always wanted to watch.
The best ones are when you can hear a tremendous clap sound, you know it really connected.
Never realized he was from 1996 and had competed with so many wrestlers. He looked so big.
Clothesline From Hell. Still one of the best finishers for how simple but effective it is.
JBL's opponents don't even neeed to do anything to sell the move. The clothesline sells itself perfectly.
one of WWE's top villains. he's a god on the mic. I loved it when he got upset on the mic
One of my favorite wrestlers. APA LEGEND
There's a story with Bradshaw and the Clothesline from Hell. If you didn't sell this the first time, the next time you were in the ring with Bradshaw he would throw it harder and make you sell it.
He was renowned for stiffing everyone. Most of these 'sells' were legit. Mainly because he couldn't land a clean clothesline to save his line.
@@revadarius2594 it’s like Ahmed Johnson. They are so big & strong & powerful it’s hard for them to fake it majority of the time.
@@revadarius2594 wrong he landed a lot if them with inner part near bicep on purpose. The force of that if he caught them clean would brake collar bones or risk a throat injury
I would not not be surprised
Played wrestling with friends as a kid in school. Outside of slams and submissions, this is probably the one of the most painful moves to receive.
This Video:
“Close line from Hell!” “Close line from Hell!”
“Look at this! Close line from Hell!”
“Close line from Hell!”
“Ohhh Close line from Hell!”
“Close line from Hell!”
😂👏🏼
Billy Gunn sells it the best
nah was the worst in my opinion
@@944stylez from that statement im under the impression that you think The Rock's selling of the stunner is the worst too
you would be correct, like yes funny as fuck but not needed
@@JBHtown1646 hes incorrect about the billy gunn sell, I thought that was the best. but the rocks stunner sell is highly overrated. funny, but not the best imo.
@@TheRuckus-ji4wt I don't think an opinion can truly be incorrect just different. But I would like to know who is his best sell on the clothesline from hell.
How can they miss the best 1. 2002 rumble match. Lance storm jumps into a corner, Bradshaw takes off like a cheetah to the ropes, coming off and takes storms head completely off. To say it nicely. Goldust saw it and his face said it all.
He even said, he thought storm was destroyed by Bradshaw
Oh yeah. That one was a beauty of a Clothesline From Hell.
The evolution of Bradshaw to JBL was unbelieveable..
I once remember my tv falling off the TV stand when he did one of these.
It's so simple yet so effective
2:38 this one is just too evil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣that bounce from the ropes is slick,,even the refree was scared
Whos that wrestler btw? Zoro?
Amazing finisher !!!
The way he use to swing that arm…looked like you was getting cracked with a 2x4 or running into big ass tree branch😂😂
Now i realised how legend and massive this guy is!
Love JR’s reaction “good god the clothesline from hell!”
Turning Bradshaw heel (JBL) in the early 00s was perfect. He sure had memorable matches.
That JBL vs Eddie Guerrero match was legendary!
