#KarlJobst #BillyMitchell

Karl Jobst spending 14 minutes bragging about how unlosable Billy's lawsuit against him is while b-roll of himself beating the shit out of Billy as WWE custom characters played and then losing the case is frankly the funniest possible outcome.

Just to be clear, I'm not glad that Billy won. I'm glad that Karl lost.

This is not an April Fools. Billy Mitchell has WON. Apparently the whole case was about Jobst claiming Billy had caused/contributed to the suicide of Ben Smith (Apollo Legend) and nothing to do with Billy cheating.
