What is your opinion on John Bradshaw Layfield?

[GD]

Folks over at SquaredCircle and Twitter are having a field day since JBL's bullying is a "hot topic" once again with respect to Mauro's health and Justin Roberts' new book.

What are your thoughts on the self proclaimed "Wrestling God" and the longest reigning WWE Champion in Smackdown history?

[Sting Fan]

Dudes a knob, his name keeps coming up as a guy who picks on the little dudes.

Seems from the outside he sees himself as some sort of locker room enforcer but you stack up him picking on Justin Roberts vs. Taker taping his fists to ensure Michaels does the right thing at Mania... Ones a bad ass locker room enforcer, the others a guy picking on someone who has no chance of fighting back physically or by backstage pull.

[Blonde Moment]

He has always been a bully, in the "old days" it was harder for the stories to be spread, it will be interesting to see how this plays out once social media full starts attacking JBL's past. From a personal standpoint I doubt he gives a shit but financially and reputation wise thiscould bite him in the ass HARD.

don't think it will but hope it does. He's a made guy.

[Blonde Moment]

If this is the end of it than nothing will happen but if the interest increases this is very bad PR for the WWE

[DAMN iNATOR]

If only he'd had a tag partner who would disappear for a bit only to re-appear randomly on Heat and feud briefly with Santino Marella, that would be the perfect theme for said person.

Pretty much this. I've yet to hear any stories of JBL picking on a guy like Brock Lesnar (when he was a rookie).

[Rammsteinmad]

Do WWE still promote that whole "Be a Star" thing?

And he blocked me on Twitter.

[Jordan]

These stories make me so angry. There is no reason to treat people with such negativity, to walk around through life thinking of ways to make people feel uncomfortable or even miserable about being in any given environment. He deserves the worst that life will give him. The failing of his fat body, getting stranded on some giant cliff he wants to climb, stumbling over his own feet walking down the ramp and busting out all of his teeth on the ground.... Well I guess me wishing ill on him is the same mindset he has when it comes to his victims. I'll relent on that. All I can say is that when life deals him a shitty hand, I won't feel bad.

[#1-norm-fan]

Pretty much this. I've yet to hear any stories of JBL picking on a guy like Brock Lesnar (when he was a rookie).

Remember when he bullied Joey Styles and Styles knocked him on his ass and gave him a black eye? lol Good times. I wish there was videotape of that.

[Frank Drebin]

He seems like a guy that would sleep on his back and snore loudly. Break into his hotel room and put a knife in his mouth while he's sleeping. Wake him up slowly so he doesn't move much. Whisper various things into his ear about how it would be a shame if he got his tongue cut off and how this hotel doesn't even have security cameras. Tell him to open his mouth wider every 30 seconds. If you really want to drive it home how serious you are, jerk off onto his face. Use the fear as an aphrodisiac. He's too much of a homophobe to report this and tell everyone he got jerked off on.

The more you know. :y::wave:

[Simple Fan]

Always been a fan JBL. Could care less if he likes to pick on nerds.

[Stickman]

All of the above. Guys are pussies now but he is also a bully. He was a very mediocre performer so I don't get how he took the role of enforcer. Sounds like a complete prick

[RP]

No room for a guy like JBL in the business and it sounds like a ton of workers feel the same way. I hope WWE does the right thing, because i cant stand listening to him, knowing how much of a scumbag he really is.

[Ruien]

I would like to see you people stand up to JBL. Especially when the type of behavior is probably encouraged by other people laughing.

[RP]

I'd stab him in the face and piss on his chest

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I mean ideally you do what Joey Styles did which was amazing. And a lot of wrestling is based on having straight cahonas.

But Justin Roberts is a tiny man. I honestly just feel bad for him.

Same with Ranallo, he's a professional guy who loved wrestling but wrestling is too hard for a lot of people.



Though having played rugby, I "get" Bradshaw, but it's a professional environment. I can't help but feel bad for Roberts. And Bradshaw is obviously a prick. But I get what you mean by people being pussies. And even CyNick does make a half decent point about "there's a chance he was a big dipshit" if the whole locker room was hazing him. It's harsh but true.

But at the same time if all the weird rapey shenanigans JBL has pulled (allegedly) lead me to wondering about him. At the end of the day, he's a big scary fucking Texan and a generally powerful man. He takes liberties and he gets off on it.

I don't think he's the worst person in the world, but he is a scummy fucker, and a relic in this day and age. Wrestling needs passionate people like Ranallo. They don't need shitty commentators who bully people (Who knows if there's any actual truth in Bradshaw v Ranallo).

[KIRA]

Latent bisexual bully.

[The CyNick]

None of the people who I know who know him have a bad word to say about the guy.

For me personally, he's an entertaining TV character and given me some excellent financial advice. So I got only love for him.

[Vastardikai]

Jim Cornette has defended him recently. But there is a relatively good reason for this. He is gonna say "Mr. Cornette" when Jim is booking him. Bullies don't punch up. If Jimmy was a rookie, he would have been fucked with.

JBL wouldn't mess with people who had power, or could wreck him. There's a reason why he won't say anything bad or try anything with a Nakamura or a Lesnar.

This, sorta. I do think some of the instances were probably guys just getting ribbed and not being able to handle it well, but I'm not gonna say JBL probably didn't do some really openly fucked up stuff under the guise of "ribbing." Dude is bigger than most and a guy that's been around forever so he probably thinks he can do things and get away with them, which is a little fucked up.

[Emperor Smeat]

Decent wrestler overall and was pretty good during his first run as a commentary. Really shouldn't have been brought back considering he's been more terrible than good with this current run as a commentator.

In terms of being a bully, he's just someone who never managed to change with the times and WWE shares the blame for letting this stuff still happen.

[GD]

Why?

Because I asked him some tough questions while being polite.

Also, Johnny Mundo confirmed that Bradshaw asked him to steal Roberts' passport.

He seems like a piece of shit. He is good at the character he plays on tv but I usually don't like his commentary that much. JBL/Graves could be good if JBL didn't go on his weird rants.


I would be fine with WWE firing him because of all this. I think a nice plus is that he definitely is a relic of the past and not the future. People will always play pranks - but JBL seems like he always went past a 'prank' from reading all the stuff he's done/said to people. I can't imagine the current crop of locker room leaders having much interest in "sociopathic torture", doesn't really seem like something AJ Styles, KO, Samoa Joe, Balor, Nakamura, Reigns, Rollins, Brock Lesnar, The Miz, Kofi Kingston, etc. would spend much time on. I think they are more likely to play video games than "bully" tbh.

Orton shitting in that diva's bag is probably the last thing someone from the Orton/Jericho/Cena generation did that would really be "too far" that we've heard about, and that was over a decade ago.

In 2017 its a minority opinion but i dont have any compassion for beta males. Man up, bullies can only exist if you're weak.

New, young guys (who are physically weaker than a 6'6 300 pound wrestler) probably are afraid of retaliating because they don't want to lose their job since JBL was known to be very close with McMahon. In a lot of cases, you have to just put up with the torment or potentially risk losing your "dream job" in WWE.

In some new interview, John Morrison says he was only able to finally stand up to JBL's bullying after he was a big established star in WWE.

[DAMN iNATOR]

This starts as hazing. Always. One guy is a spazz about instead of being cool about it (like every guy in the locker room that isnt currently being ribbed went through prior) and then it just escalates because they're weakness is exposed. Im good with it. If you cant thrive in that kind of environment thats unfortunate. Put your notice in, it isnt going to change.

Not feeling sorry for guys with no spine. Itll change in time though, there will only be beta males left in 20 years or so.

[Frank Drebin]

So, if you were in a foreign country and one of your teammates/colleagues stole your passport that's just a good ol' ribbing, right?

[Destor]

Haha thats pretty good. Did JBL do that? Id have been so hot.

[Frank Drebin]

Alright, Ill be serious for a minute.....you want to use "ribbing" or "light hazing" on your team or in your organization? It has to make the place better. If Vince thinks it makes WWE better, welp, he's the boss I guess. Not sure that tip toeing the line on multiple hostile work environment lawsuits is a good idea and that doing so makes the organization better but that's just me.

Look at the "hazing" the Chicago Cubs do with their players and how it affected the culture of the organization. That's what it should look like. Notice the difference. The Cubs make it visible and everyone does it and has fun with it where Vince/JBL isolate people and subject only that person to whatever they deem "fun" and keep it to themselves. Totally opposite ways of going about a similar practice with, predictably, different results.

Sorry couldn't resist.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I remember there was this nasty guy Travis who could totally kick my ass. First year I played with him I was so scared of him and he treated me like shit. Nothing too bad, but LOL the whole team called me "freak" and "fat shady" and I never saw the field.

When 2 years later came and we were on the same team again, I still had to earn his respect but I just started telling him I would skull fuck him when he was being a dickhole. And just played decent rugby, and we were essentially equals by the end.

I get where you're coming from. But Beta's gotta make a living too. Plus, JBL is a dickhead.

[#1-norm-fan]

I think they need to make it into a storyline and have Dr. Shelby counsel him live on Raw and try to find out why he does the things he does. That should make part of that 3 hours fly by.

Also, good excuse to bring back Dr. Shelby.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That...would be amazing. I bet you JBL would actually be fun again.

[Lock Jaw]

Frank Drebin stole my passport and I had to sneak across the border to Canada (*sneaky finger thingie*)

So he is a big hypocrite.

[Frank Drebin]

It was f'n funny dude. Get over it.

[Stickman]

I have been in many locker rooms and yes there are guys who like amping up other guys by light hazing and whatnot but will go to war for that guy he is picking on. Kind of like a big brother situation, typically a team building scenario. From the sounds of itJBL is just a bully. He doesn't seem to bring the locker room together he seems to seperate it. Huge difference between what teams do and what JBL does, if you can't see thwt, you are probably a bully yourself.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Funny though because Destor does not come across as such. Just a contrarian tbh.

Just because something was traditional doesn't make it right. Jim Crow was traditional until Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat.

It's about evolution. It's not survival of the fittest it's survival of the smartest. JBL is a relic and it's time for him to be fired like Bill DeMot was.

Yeah either Mattel or one of the new sponsors NBC/USA Network brought in would be enough to sway the decision to get rid of JBL.

Besides the Benoit incident, Mattel played a big role in why the WWE pushed to become PG during the mid-2000s.


After all the stuff came out about Demott, what was the excuse given for letting him go?
None I think. They just let him save some face by resigning instead of getting fired.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com got an official response from WWE regarding the allegations against DeMott on Tuesday, saying the company took the allegations seriously, "conducted a full investigation and was unable to validate the claims. Regardless, WWE continues to reinforce policies and procedures to ensure a positive training environment."

DeMott made the decision to resign from the company two days after that statement was released. He's been working in the business since 1995, when he debuted in WCW. The 48-year-old moved to WWE in 2001, after WCW was bought by Vince McMahon and remained there until 2007.

None of this means a person can't be a piece of shit. You can be a humanitarian AND a dickhead. Not mutually exclusive.

Funny how, by and large, there are folks defending this dude, but Bill Demott is just an irredeemable asshole merely because people remember Bradshaw's career way more fondly.

To be clear, I think they're both turds.

There's a difference between hazing and straight up bullying in the same way there's a difference in being mutually "playful" and sexual assault. One is about knowing your audience, so to speak, and the other is a one way street about exerting your will. By the sounds of things, Bradshaw falls into the latter category. And no, I'm not saying "JBL is a rapist", so anyone looking to retort to that can miss me with that shit before you even start; you can see the logical connection to what I was saying for the message there and not the words used.

There's only so much "he's just an old school guy/boys will be boys" can cushion. There are such things as personal boundaries.

a) I have some mental illnesses and I am kinda "weak" in the sense I would not know how to manage a situation where the bosses pet is trying to rape me in the shower and trying to steal my passport.

b) while I think I'm fairly tough, I'm only 6'2" 200 lbs and not a professional wrestler who knows how to bump and gets punched in the face every day. JBL particularly in his prime was like 280 pounds of mean Texan who was a legit hard, hard man. I am easily no match for him. Especially if someone like John Morrison is scared of him. He could sneeze and blow me away.

I mean what do you do, threaten him with a baseball bat? I mean yeah I could sucker punch him in the nose, but who knows what he does from there?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I just keep imagining this scene, if Justin Roberts tried to stand up to Bradshaw. lol

This is the part I dont understand. I was a short fat kid. Bullied on the reg. So I took up wrestling, martial art and later boxing. Started hitting the weights. I wasnt bullied much longer.


I was weak so I was picked on.


Solution? Stop being weak.


If you dont like your situation then change it...or I dunno...be a victim. Whatever works for you I guess.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

there are lots of people without that ability.

And like.... if John Morrison, professional badass is worried about JBL, of course Justin Roberts profession tiny man who can't is going to be.

That's great that you toughened up, but it's ridiculous to think that the world should be a place where people have to learn how to fight.

Justin Roberts and Mauro Ranallo likely got into announcing/commentating because they are not jocks.

I think you are being bullheaded and backwards.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

And very much the same, as much as those people could stop being victims, JBL can just stop being a dickhead.

I've been in your spot too bro, I've gotten passed bullying. Just because I did, doesn't mean people deserve to be victimized because they aren't fighters. It's what separates us from the savages.

Don't excuse garbage conduct just because you learnt how to fight, therefore everyone should.

I used to be hard on people with weight problems because I lost all my weight. I then realized that made me a giant, unfeeling douchebag.

[Destor]

And like.... if John Morrison, professional badass is worried about JBL, of course Justin Roberts profession tiny man who can't is going to be

John Morrison is not a proffesional badass lol

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

In saying that, I think there's a middle ground between WWEs awful, shitty (alleged) work environment and just being way too soft. Wrestling is a tough business, but sociopathic behaviour shouldn't be encouraged.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

John Morrison is not a proffesional badass lol

lol okay well tell me how you do when you fight him.

[Destor]

But no, staying weak is elective. cowardice isnt an aflcition its a descision. If you want to stay that way that's totally fine but im not going to pity you for it. And Im not going to lay on my sword for you either. You prioritized other things. People are probably going to take advantage of you. I wont personally but you're going to have to fight your own battles. Now I know the entire forum is going to start virtue signaling and thats fine, Im sure the Robert's of the world appreciate the help. I just dont feel any pity.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Feeling bad for someone getting bullied is not virtue signalling.

Nobody here is telling you that you're a bully or a bigot. Don't make this "that" kind of argument. Don't cast assumptions about who we are because we aren't doing it to you.

[Destor]

lol okay well tell me how you do when you fight him.

These days sounds like it's getting a little more "old school" again as far as the boys, since all the legit indy talent who've travelled the world are coming into the locker room, and not just guys from the WWE machine.

At least that was Reigns and Jericho were implying during Jericho's podcast.

[Lock Jaw]

Everyone in this thread should stop bullying JBL.

I hate bowlies.

[Bad News Gertner]

If JBL had a high workrate and were an IWC darling we would not be having this conversation

[The CyNick]

Jim Cornette has defended him recently. But there is a relatively good reason for this. He is gonna say "Mr. Cornette" when Jim is booking him. Bullies don't punch up. If Jimmy was a rookie, he would have been fucked with.

JBL wouldn't mess with people who had power, or could wreck him. There's a reason why he won't say anything bad or try anything with a Nakamura or a Lesnar.

Likely because Nak and Lesnar are respectful, and wouldn't need a guy like JBL to keep them in check.

[The CyNick]

New, young guys (who are physically weaker than a 6'6 300 pound wrestler) probably are afraid of retaliating because they don't want to lose their job since JBL was known to be very close with McMahon. In a lot of cases, you have to just put up with the torment or potentially risk losing your "dream job" in WWE.

In some new interview, John Morrison says he was only able to finally stand up to JBL's bullying after he was a big established star in WWE.

Nothing would you get you over with Vince more than putting someone who is picking on you in their place, if you can.

[Rammsteinmad]

Hazing and ribbing is one thing, but nobody should be made to hate going to their workplace, especially if it was their dream job.

"funny ribbing"

According to Silverman, Charles Robinson is chief target of the "boys" and their "harmless ribs", and Billy continues to go into detail about one rib in particular that disturbed him. While preparing in the arena hours before a show, some of the boys snuck up on Robinson, held him down, stripped him of all his clothing, bound him with tape and gagged his mouth. Robinson was then attached to a cart and wheeled into the middle of the arena and paraded around in front of the ring crew while everyone laughed heartily.

Silverman brings up Bradshaw next, and explains how Bradshaw threatened him with violence if he didn't oblige to carrying large amounts of Bradshaw's liquor across the Canadian border. Robinson suffered back injury from carrying all of Bradshaw's bottles and the boys forced him to serve them the alcohol as well when the plane landed. Robinson calls Bradshaw a self-appointed "chief of police" in the WWF, while I call Bradshaw a bully, extremely overrated, and a pretty fucked up human being. Robinson took this matter to a member of management who's exact response was "Just do what Bradshaw tells you to".

[#1-norm-fan]

Alright, when you start fucking with Lil' Naitch, then I've got a problem...

[mike adamle]

JBL has done some pretty weird shit, but getting fired for picking on Mauro for being a mark? Seriously? He was a mark...

[The CyNick]

Hazing and ribbing is one thing, but nobody should be made to hate going to their workplace, especially if it was their dream job.

It depends though.

If someone is overly sensitive, or has a mental health issue, they may perceive a joke or a light-hearted rib to be something more. I would rather get rid of the sensitive person I that situation, because they're always going to be a nuisance. Especially in this case when no offence to Mauro, but he's a dime a dozen announcer, there are literally thousands of people who can do what he does.

And when you read into the story, it's basically Mauro acted like a dumb mark and posted about some two but internet award and got called out for it. I don't know the exact details of what was said to him, but it's dumb for him to get all giddy about something as meaningless as an award for a website that maybe 10k people visit on a regular basis. When you're on a platform that literally reaches hundreds of millions of people. So he deserves to be ridiculed for that. Did that interaction make it so he can't come to work? Or is it more likely that because of his mental health issues (which I get are serious), he could have been triggered by any number of simple things in the future like someone taking the last cale salad at catering?

He seems like a guy who prefers to be the King of marks, and stay in the underground than understanding how to take it to the next level on the WWE stage. The JBL encounter sounds like a cop out. But I look forward to seeing what details he provides to prove otherwise.

Great with the APA, in the ring and moreso in backstage skits. Like in my mind his act was just below the top guys of the Attitude Era.

Then the while Cabinet JBL stuff was epic.

Meanwhile anyone who knows them, knows Bret and Ric Flair were notorious for helping their friends over other talent. But the internet fiends don't mention those guys because they had five star matches. Tons of guys in the business have played ribs and got under people's skin. JBL gets picked on because the Dave Meltzer's of the world use their limited power to bully him. It needs to stop.

Gertner, it's getting old mate. Would like to know your actual opinion on the issue.

[Bad News Gertner]

JBL is a bully, but Mauro is being a whiny bitch and this wouldn't be nearly the issue if JBL were the IWC darling and Mauro wasn't.

I wasn't joking chief.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I mean I would like to know the WHOLE story but it is kind of funny how karma could be a bitch.

Like imagine of all the shitty, bullying things JBL has done and it's the time he called a commentator a mark that got him fired.

I mean if that's all it was the punishment doesn't fit the crime, but what goes around comes around.

Though tbh he won't be hurting if he gets fired. Vince won't learn anything, JBL won't learn anything and he'll just have some time off before he finds his next project. He's also a millionaire, so what does it matter.

[Bad News Gertner]

I remember Mauro quitting the Score Wrestling show because he couldn't handle the criticism . He threw a tantrum and quit over people giving him shit about a John Cena comment

He was sooooo beyond obnoxious. Typical IWC douchebag where he couldn't understand a different way of thinking.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

realistically JBL is probably just upset that Mauro is a way better commentator than him.

And he's also upset that his title reign is criminally over rated because he was a boring, fat, slob.

[#1-norm-fan]

Did.... Did CyNick just try to paint JBL as a bullying victim? lol

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Nash gets internet hate? Where? We have a month, AN ENTIRE FUCKING MONTH, devoted to him via his own thread.

Mauro may be mentally fragile. But people act like this is something he chooses to be. Everyone is wired differently. I dealt with bullying as a kid, and never let it bother me. But I'm not everyone. People will handle things differently.

It doesn't mean JBL isn't a bully, and it doesn't mean that he surprisingly picks on guys who are smaller than him or who are green to the business. He doesn't pick on Lesnar because he knew Lesnar wouldn't take it, whether he was a rookie or not.

Maybe Roberts, Mauro etc ate not as mentally tough as others. Doesn't excuse the actions and behavior directed towards them nor does it mean they should be ran out of the business.

Sa performer, JBL was always a better talker than anything else. I found his title run boring as he was literally a 1 year placeholder for the overall better Cena. But they had a depleted roster and no real heels, so JBL found himself with a rocket push. They needed and got an effective heel out if him to hand the reigns to Cena.

I found him to be pretty meh after his initial title run, and thought his commentary in his first run was great. Second run, not so much.

[Lock Jaw]

And he's also upset that his title reign is criminally over rated because he was a boring, fat, slob.

[Frank Drebin]

I thought I remember people, the internet dweebs included, that were excited for JBL as an announcer. He still gets warm receptions when introduced at live events. You say his title reign was criminally underrated, which is exactly the type of thing that would draw the IWC to JBL in the first place.

Mauro has been diagnosed with mental health problems, suggusting he should just toughen up is ignorant. These are real health problems and having a coworker bully you doesn't help anything.

My opinion of JBL hasn't changed but I sure don't like Ranello as much as I did before. A grown man crying about being bullied is just silly. Plus he ran from the situation which made it worse and lost him even more respect.

With stories about his medical condition, he would have just made things a lot for him mentally and in general had he gotten into a physical confrontation or shouting match with JBL. Depression and similar type mental issues shouldn't really be a thing taken lightly.

The idea that Mauro should "man up" or grown ups being "weak" if they get bullied is a really horrible mindset to have.

While it wasn't bullying related, I suffered from a pretty bad depression episode that lasted for a few years and my biggest mistake was never telling anyone about it since I felt some would just brush it off or claim I was being a "baby." Best thing for Mauro is having a really good support system that has been very helpful to him over the years whenever he suffered from bouts of depression and bipolarism.

JBL should win the Warrior Award at next year's Hall of Fame.

I would make a gag about Gertie/Destor needing to clean their keyboards now, but they're just livin' the gimmick y'know.

Plus all the heat JBL is getting seems like he's actually standing up to him, as well as being honest about his situation.

People say he is being a pussy, I say he's showing some amount of balls. Namely because he comes out, speaks out against JBL and every calls him a pussy.

Anyone notice how happy/smiley JBL was on Smackdown?

Especially to Byron Saxton and New Day......

According to the Observer, WWE is currently working on a non-disparagement deal with Mauro to prevent him from going public with WWE's bullying and toxic work environment once he's released.

I really want this story to go away. I really want JBL to go away.

The one person he should be ripping on

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

My assumption on JBL is he is probably a total heart and soul guy, which is why he has his role in the company. However, I've played sports with guys like him. If you're "one of the boys" there's probably nobody better to be around, but if you're not, he feels the need to make you earn it, and I would surmise given all the stories, goes too far and powertrips on people.

pure speculation tho
