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
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
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
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.
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.
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 👌
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
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...
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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
Big guy version of miz or piper. Basic move set but always making their opponents and themselves look great, top notch on the mic, company guys who never fail to put people over when told, and rarely if ever injured. All 3 weren’t recognized for how good they were until after their careers or near the end of them. JBL carried smackdown back in the day
@@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
it’s a simple move yet done with so much force and intensity that it justifies being a finisher. props to JBL for really laying into it and all his opponents for selling it like they really got their shit wrecked
@@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
So surprising seeing how much JBL took care of Chris Benoit during those clotheslines. They were like getting hit with a pillow compared to the other ones. He must’ve really had respect/friendship with Chris ✊
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
Bradshaw is a very nice and humble guy I remember how much of a work he is done for us (Indian's) He visits Mumbai on a yearly basis and does charity work for the unprivileged people and people living below poverty line! Very nice guy!
Swoooze He does far more to help people around the world than most of his detractors ever will. And I've had interactions with him online and he is incredibly nice, kind and very appreciative of his fans.
@@TequilaToothpick he was the bestman in undertaker's wedding don't forget he may have a bad side but there is also a good side of him... acknowledge that side like I am doing so!
He did his best clotheslines after coming off the ropes like a freight train. The momentum he would build before the hit would really help sell the viciousness of it .
The Clothesline From Hell would knock the soul of anybody, big or small. JBL made the move from something simple to very vicious throughout his wrestling career.
I always loved JBL's moveset and i always had the clothesline in the games lmao Especially liked it when JBL did it to the big guys and he had to put his entire weight into the hit and it looked so believable that this is a move that would take them off their feet
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!

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
Bobby Heenan was the same for me
Yes! This is the reason Edge is one of my favorites. When you get older you realize the hate was actually because they did their job as a heel so well
Frl I hated him so much when I was young I’m 16 now and just love everything about jbl
I can't unhear Michael Cole saying "clothesline from hell" with the exact same tone of voice and cadence throughout the video.
I know I thought the same
Love it 👍💯
Then you have super old school JR calling it a lariat...and yes, I know it is technically a lariat, but he'd hardly call it The Clothesline From Hell.

Sir, if the goal of your avatar was to have people touch their screen thinking a piece of hair was on it .... well played.
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.
I love when he bounces off the ropes and uses it as a counter. Example (1:47).

@@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!
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
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.
That was Paul London, not Mysterio 🤣
God almighty, Bradshaw put some damn mustard on those clotheslines. I wouldn't want to take one.
Me neither.
Back in day it was one of the favourite attacks I would gladly give to my older brother when we fought.
Lmao
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.
Nobody:
Michael Cole: "CLOTHES LIIIIINE from HELL"
JBL: Did you see that? I LOVE IT MAGGLE!!!
It looks beautiful when applied to bigger opponents like Batista, Undertaker and even Bigshow, too.
What. A. Move. The Way He Loads Up His Whole Arm Especially When He Bounces Of The Ropes Is INSANE!!! How No One Got Decapitated Should Be Studied ..
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
Still one of my most favorite finishers of all time so simple but so brutal at the same time
2:13 just feel the impact of that clothesline
The evolution of Bradshaw to JBL was unbelieveable..
Big guy version of miz or piper. Basic move set but always making their opponents and themselves look great, top notch on the mic, company guys who never fail to put people over when told, and rarely if ever injured. All 3 weren’t recognized for how good they were until after their careers or near the end of them. JBL carried smackdown back in the day
The best ones are when you can hear a tremendous clap sound, you know it really connected.
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.
one of the most underrated finishers 😓
Some of these sells are unbelievable- flipping in midair at just the right moment just crazy
The running CFH in WWE No Mercy on the N64 was always my setup move for my finisher (Rikishi Driver). No one kicked out.
it’s a simple move yet done with so much force and intensity that it justifies being a finisher. props to JBL for really laying into it and all his opponents for selling it like they really got their shit wrecked
One of the most vicious headhunters in WWE history... he wouldn't just lariat you, he would absolutely decapitate you.
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.
I never knew how massive JBL was 😂 bro was a unit
This special looked like it actually hurt. One of my favorite 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
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.
This was always my favorite finisher lol he really started nailing people with it when he was JBL on Smackdown later in his career
The one where his opponent oversells it by ragdoll flying is what truly made the move looked destructive.
So surprising seeing how much JBL took care of Chris Benoit during those clotheslines. They were like getting hit with a pillow compared to the other ones. He must’ve really had respect/friendship with Chris ✊
Still one of the more devastating finisher in WWE
If I was a wrestler this would definitely be my finisher. Quick, effective, power and can hit out of nowhere
No wonder he's a former NFL player that's why he is so explosive in the corner that Clothesline From Hell will take someone's head off
Clothesline is such a simple move but he always made it look so Powerfull one of my favorite Finishers.
That clothesline in mid-air was one his best in terms of timing.
Man when they sold this move by the opponents always looked literally from hell. One of my favorite moves.
Now i realised how legend and massive this guy is!
2:13 he glided with that beauty.
pretty sure shannon moore died after that 😂
That was a Dark Souls Decapitation yo...
Only One person could make a clothesline a legitimate finisher. John Bradshaw Layfield
And guys like dean ambrose made a ddt his finisher too
Stan Hansen? Okada?
Umaga finisher was basically a finger poke👍 and he pull it off 😂
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.
Still the best finisher of all time. Like literally JBL can remove a man's soul
Never realized he was from 1996 and had competed with so many wrestlers. He looked so big.
Bradshaw is a very nice and humble guy I remember how much of a work he is done for us (Indian's)
He visits Mumbai on a yearly basis and does charity work for the unprivileged people and people living below poverty line!
Very nice guy!
No he isn't lol
Swoooze He does far more to help people around the world than most of his detractors ever will. And I've had interactions with him online and he is incredibly nice, kind and very appreciative of his fans.
@@101frustrations He's regarded by almost everyone who worked with him as a total arsehole and a bully.
Swoooze Almost everyone? Considering the number of wrestler friends he has, it's a long list, that doesn't seem to be the case.
@@TequilaToothpick he was the bestman in undertaker's wedding don't forget he may have a bad side but there is also a good side of him... acknowledge that side like I am doing so!
He did his best clotheslines after coming off the ropes like a freight train. The momentum he would build before the hit would really help sell the viciousness of it .
The Clothesline From Hell would knock the soul of anybody, big or small.
JBL made the move from something simple to very vicious throughout his wrestling career.
I always loved JBL's moveset and i always had the clothesline in the games lmao
Especially liked it when JBL did it to the big guys and he had to put his entire weight into the hit and it looked so believable that this is a move that would take them off their feet
Simple finisher yet so damn devastating!
APA Bradshaw. Thank you for all the years you captivated me with the clothesline from hell. 💪
That APA theme went hard, that's some CFH music. The Billy Gunn super sell was great.
Lol on nintendo 64 remember making this as a finisher use to be fun seeing how the characters fell dazed as they got hit with it 😁😁😁😁
Especially if you hit it the right way and get the KO win.
2:37 was probably the most sexiest Clothesline sell ever
Man the ref probably whispered “are you ok!?”
Word💯🔥 He took his time decapitating that man
Whos that wrestler? Zoro??
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!
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!”
😂👏🏼
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.
