<font color=cyan>No, this is not a joke like the Lita Wrestling School post I did… This is what I seriously think of JBL.

I hate that guy… I really do… but maybe it’s about time I vindicate my emotions. Why do I hate Bradshaw?

I didn’t care for Justin “Hawk” Bradshaw. Thought he was just a stupid cowboy using a crappy lariat as his finisher. He never got a lot of heat from me, let alone a response. It wasn’t until he became Blackjack Bradshaw, teamed up with Blackjack Windham, to form The New Blackjacks that he caught my eye.
He was no longer a cowboy with a branding iron. He was a Texan Bad Ass. He didn’t say anything, he just took action. No, they weren’t the best team. In fact damn near any team that just takes an older team name and tweaks it a little is damned to become a footnote at best. The New Midnight Express, The New Rockers, LOD 2000 (yeah, it was still Road Warrior Hawk and Road Warrior Animal, but they weren’t nearly as cool in my book as they were in their salad days), and the list goes on. Alas, I digress.
So then he was just Bradshaw. The most memorable storyline he was in is when he was teaming up with TAKA to feud with Kaientai. I thought it was pretty cool. The big guy helping out the little guy. Then again, I’m always partial to storylines like that due to my size.
So then came The Acolytes. I was unimpressed… Just a couple of mindless henchmen. Who cared for them really? So they won the tag team titles… Big deal. There are many times where the titles are given out as storyline tools or a feeble way to get mid card wrestlers over due to a lack of charisma or talent <I>*cough*randyorton*cough*</I>.
And then came the best incarnation of Bradshaw… The APA. Now alas, we have a team just made to kick ass! Get paid to pound! This was the best turn for him, ever. The APA went out of business, and then they came back. LOVED it when they came back… THEN I started to hate him, before they broke up.
What happened? I read his book. I’m a student of business, and I can point out so many things that are wrong with his advice. The hell does he mean you can’t time the market? If you knew that Pixar is getting ready to cut ties with Disney then you’d put stock in Disney, wait for The Incredibles to peak, then sell your stock. Alas, one of the final Pixar flicks from Disney, and you made major bank. Also, putting stock in any patriotic company shortly after 9/11 would have been a great way to time the market.
Put aside $3,000 a month? When you get paid more, you can put away more… That would have been a better way to state it. I live in a mid-lower social economical demographic… The working poor, pretty much. I can’t afford to set aside $3,000 a month. Yeah, it’d be nice to do that, but he needs to consider that not everyone makes as much as an overrated pro wrestler.
He’s an idiot… And I’m not talking about his technical wrestling skills… his finisher is little more than a leg drop. He’s all impact with no finesse… then again, I’m not talking about his wrestling skills right now.
If you’ve read the book <u>Have More Money Now</u> then you understand that it’s a decently written book for a biography. Props to him for writing it himself. I have a lot of respect for him as a writer because he wrote his own autobiography. As a businessman, as a finical analyst, I have very little respect for him.
Oh, and then there’s the whole “Hiter” thingie in Germany… I come from a Jewish family, so yeah, that stuck a nerve. It’s a little offensive, and very stupid. He’s a moron for not looking at the laws of the country, all in the name of getting heat… He did that for cheap heat…. I lost a lot of respect for him as a wrestler when he stooped that low to try to get heat.
So if I seem a little harsh toward JBL, that’s why. I hate him… and I didn’t even touch on his lack of mic skills, and the fact that when he’s on TV I’m usually playing my gameboy or on the computer in the other room just keeping half an ear tuned in.
Thank You for your time.

I want him to come out in his limo and yell "I sell Propane and Propane Accessories!" and then Zack Gowen's mom comes out and stands by his side and shows off her extra large feet... Then the blue meanie comes out and stands beside him and JBL say's "That boy ain't right..."

If you put that in a normal font, use proper punctuation, spelling, and paragraphing I will come back and read it.
