Jbl Fired!!!!!!!

[The Pez]

John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield has been fired by CNBC in the past few hours, after finding out and investigating the “Nazi” incident which occurred on the German leg of WWE’s European tour. More information on said incident can be found on the newsboard a few posts down.

-- CNBC, as I said, investigated the incident and a spokesperson for the company said that they “found his behavior to be offensive, inappropriate and not benefiting anyone associated with our network”.

Sorry to let you down guys, but that's how I read it and I was disappointed when I saw that he wasn't gone from the WWE....I wanted everyone to share my pain.

[Orton Rko]

I thought the WWE finally fired him. :(
hopefully they will.

[Superman33]

I had gotten my hopes up that he was fired from the WWE.

[Lord Primetime]

Yeah same, somebody edit it please.

[Qwaar-Jet]

At Wrestlezone, they also did the same "he's fired trick".

You guys don't actually believe the WWE will fire him? Thy won't, for 2 reasons.

1.He is Vinnie Mac's pet.He gets a slap on the wrist for stuff others get fired for.He is the bully who throws his(considerable) weight around.

2.He is in the middle of a Main-Event push, and there is no way they could set a title match up for GAB in such short notice.

He also responded by saying it's what badguys do.He really hasn't a clue what he just did wrong.How sad, but there are some Americans like that(no offense to you guys that know about Foreign traditions and rules).He overstepped the line so much, that the line has now become a dot.That guy really needs to get a grip and see the bigger picture.

Uhhh...no. He did know what he did was wrong. This gimmick has turned Bradshaw himself into an *******. He did it because he knows he can get away with it, not because he didn't know it was wrong.

I really hate when this guy is on TV. Him and HHH make me turn the TV whenever they are on. Anytime they're on wrestling and I haven't changed it is because I'm either not in the room or concentrating on something on the computer.

I refuse to watch such crap. I'm starting to hate it more when Bradshaw comes on than I do HHH.

The guy deserved to be fired because he needs to learn that he can't do whatever he wants just because he has money.

[Qwaar-Jet]

I'm not sure.It's difficult to tell if he is a chancer or just plain Ignorant.Regardless, I aggree with everything you said GD.

[Lover Nuts]

Man that's his whole gimmick gone then if he can't work at CNBC.

[Superman33]

I thought I hated him before, but then I see the action.

[KusToM KnucKs]

I think that is just plain Ignorance on the part of Bradshaw that he thinks he can go and do that just because he is a heel & think that people wont get upset. The man is an idiot plain & simple beacuse he is using the sign of a man that killed thousands of people so it is obviously going to bring up bad fellings. I also agree with what Quaar-Jet said about some Americans being Ignorant which I beleive is true but its only the very small Minority of them

[The Great One]

I wished he did get fired. what he did over at Germany was just plain ignorance, he didn't do it just to get heel heat, but he did it because like others say he can get away with it. I hope he gets fired when after GAB. He does not deserve to be in the WWE for what he did in Germany, and he won't be that big of a loss to Smackdown.

[The_Wolf]

i dont think that he will get fired over this, i think the wwe will probably just make him apologize to the people in germany and whoever found it offensive

[Blackstar]

Ok people - i'm sure that JBL's statements that he did that 'because he was a bad guy' were said because the WWE told him too. I am convinced that Vince has seen this as an opportunity to build further heat on JBL and the character he is portraying.
The fact that the WWE posted an apology and then removed it within another couple of hours adds to this. I guess Vince has seen this as too good an opportunity to pass up and i wouldn't be surprised if it is played up on TV.

[Peoples King]

Nah JBL is just ignorant. As well as that he knows he can get away with this ****. It is a well known fact that he has bullied guys like Spanky etc. In other words JBL is a ****ing *******. He goes down my cracker spawn list.

Im not all the suprised that JBL would do such a thing. I remember an article he wrote on Smackdown! magazine a few months back that I found quite insulting and racist. This was before his heel turn, so that throws that idea out the window.

Its good the CNBC fired that ****er. Bradshaw showed poor taste when using the Nazi salute and I strongly believe that the German courts should file criminal charges against him.

[Gravedigger]

the guy isn't stupid and he isn't ignorant. He's smart and has proven that. He knows that he would receive some major backlash because of it, but he knows since he has money, nothing serious would be done about it. He got fired from CNBC...that doesn't mean he's not rich anymore.

I doubt that was a big blow to him anyway.

[Qwaar-Jet]

Outside of Financial advice, I think the guy is as thick as 2 short planks.I believe he was just too thick and ignorant to realise what he done.

[Lover Nuts]

I think JBL deserved it for doing the Nazi salute. I don't hate JBL but you can't let someone off the hook for that.

I do feel sorry for JBL though because it really is partly the WWE's fault.

[Gravedigger]

I don't think you can make tons of money if you're stupid or ignorant. I think you have to be pretty smart to be making tons of money plus be on the shows like CNBC.

[Lover Nuts]

I don't think you can make tons of money if you're stupid or ignorant. I think you have to be pretty smart to be making tons of money plus be on the shows like CNBC.

I disagree with the first statement. Look at Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson, they make tons of money! :p

heres vinces comments..

Thanks to Pwinsider for the following:


-Vince McMahon is reportedly upset at CNBC for taking such swift action against JBL and firing him yesterday. He, however, does not seem to be upset with Bradshaw.

[Superman33]

Vince probably told Bradshaw to do it.

[Orton Rko]

Yeah it does sound like Vince might of told him to do it.And it seems without any major wrestling fed around that Vince thinks he could get away with anything now....would he done something like this knowing that WCW and ECW were still around?

[Kandy]

Damn you Shua!! I thought the WWE had gotten rid of the bastard. *runs to corner and cries*

[KusToM KnucKs]

If Vince told Bradshaw to do that then id say the old guy has finally lost his marbles. Then again none of what Vince has done has had much thought behind it lately
