JBL Deletes Dusty Rhodes Tweets And Admits To Having Too Many Drinks, Cody Follows
Former WWE Champion JBL took to Twitter today and admitted he had a few too many alcoholic beverages while running wild on Twitter last night.
As Daniel noted earlier, JBL, who was celebrating his 52nd birthday and watching the NFL game yesterday, posted a series of tweets that took shots at Cody Rhodes and made a mention of Cody's late father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes.
Cody did acknowledge the tweets but his comments have since been deleted. He wrote, "I'm thinking JBL had a few drinks tonight..."
JBL's two tweets that referenced Dusty have been deleted but most of the tweets are still live as of this writing. Below are text from the deleted tweets along with screenshots plus the tweets where JBL admitted he had a few too many:
"Ok, not wanting a comeback-but I could beat @CodyRhodes any day in any match, just like I could have beaten his daddy. It's simple math. Now back to my @dallascowboys"
"I'm retired. But @CodyRhodes couldn't beat me if he tied me to a tree. Neither could his dad."
Got serious money on the Cowboys! I couldn't get money on @CodyRhodes if I tried.

Seriously. @CodyRhodes is a tool. Not in my league. I'm retired.

Was having fun with Cody last night and said I'd kill Cody Rhodes, I obviously didn't mean that literally. It was a very poor choice of words, I go way back with him and his family and I just was talking smack in a pro wrestling sense. I apologize for that poor choice of words.

It was my birthday and the Cowboys beat the Saints, surely that's a reason to have one too many! Have a great day everyone!

I go way back with Dusty, tagged with Murdoch/Dusty's old partner. I didn't mean disrespect to Dusty. It's what happens when elation from a Cowboys win, my birthday, talking smack and booze mix. https://t.co/SruBKEsTko
