- WWE's website has a new in-depth blog up from JBL where the former WWE Champion discusses his climb of Russia's 18,511-feet high Mt. Elbrus for his Seven Summits campaign for charity. While the Mt. Elbrus climb had to be called off due to a storm that was coming, JBL says he will return there next summer because the storm has already closed the mountain off.
