The "Brawl For All" remains one of the most questionable booking decisions by WWE during the Attitude Era, when there were already insane storylines, like MarkHenry's entire "Sexual Chocolate" run or the "Higher Power" angle with The Undertaker and Vince McMahon.Infamously,the "BrawlForAll" put the pro wrestler's credibility on the line to have a legitimate shoot fight, with Bart Gunn walking away with a victory and having his pro wrestling career ended by WrestleMania XV. As one of the contenders in the "BrawlForAll," Marc Mero tested his mettle and had the opportunity to finally knock out a man he legitimately disliked at the time."I'm gonna be really honest, I couldn't stand Bradshaw back then," he admitted during an interview on "INSIGHT withChrisVanVliet."John 'Bradshaw' Layfield has always gotten under the skin of those around him, and continues to do it today, but according to Mero, he believed his dislike was warranted because JBL was a bully in those days."When we wrestled each other, he didn't like me, and he would take liberties," Mero further claimed, admitting that he was happy to step into the ring in a shoot fight with JBL to teach him a lesson, finally. "He knew I had no fear of him."As history tells, Mero ended up losing to JBL due to the judges' decisions, leading to more animosity between the two. However, today, they have a much different relationship."We couldn't stand each other back then, [now] I love that guy," he interestingly admitted, explaining that he's gained a lot of respect for JBL due to what he's done since wrestling. "If I see him now, [I'd] just give him a big hug or something!"
