JBL wrote the following about this incident on Twitter:
“The police gave me an escort out of town and told me to drive to Odessa, Texas and fly out from there. They told me they thought I would be killed if I stayed in El Paso.
I had to leave so fast to prevent a riot I was driving in my wrestling gear. Chavo Sr and Eddie’s idea to do this – we sold out the Staples Center off this storyline.
When this video aired, everything changed – JBL had heat like few have had. I owe everything to Eddie and the Guerrero family. Viva la raza.
Notice how, when I put my hand on Mrs Guerrero, I guided (and held her) all the way to the ground. It was so she could take a bump safely. She made it look fantastic. When she went down and the place was in shock – Eddie said ‘Ese, you better get the $#*@ outta here!'”
A fan wrote:
“John, I remember this got played in the local news, in HOUSTON.
You were legit hated here, I don’t think I’ve seen anybody else hated as much as you made Texans hate you.”
JBL replied:
“I had to have extra security everywhere after this, lol. I think WWE was worried I’d be shot or stabbed and wouldn’t make the Staples Center.”
