JBL fired from CNBC
 
from nodq.com

After receiving word from three independent sources that CNBC had severed its relationship with John Layfield today, I contacted CNBC for comment. The following is the statement that they gave me concerning the situation.

“CNBC has terminated its relationship with John "Bradshaw" Layfield following his conduct this past weekend in a wrestling match. We find his behavior to be offensive, inappropriate and not befitting anyone associated with our network.”



HAHAHAHAHA serves him right :rofl:

The One 06-08-2004 07:30 PM

Well this makes my day. :)

Though the explaination sounded a bit simplistic and I doubt CNBC would tell people why they let an employee go...still if it's true :y:

OssMan 06-08-2004 07:31 PM

Good.

Disturbed316 06-08-2004 07:33 PM

HAHAHAHAHA serves him right :rofl:

Well he deserved it if he thought up the idea of doing something illegal and disrespectful to get cheap heat.

Now if only there was a typo in that statement, replacing CNBC with WWE
:roll:

BLaZeR- 06-08-2004 07:36 PM

Now we don't have to hear another promo about how he has a successful show.

Nowhere Man 06-08-2004 07:42 PM

No, now all we'll hear are promos about how he had a successful show.

Serves him right, the stupid shit.

FourFifty 06-08-2004 07:46 PM

Reps to CNBC!

MVP 06-08-2004 07:55 PM

Oh man that's hilarious. :rofl:

loopydate 06-08-2004 07:59 PM

Good for CNBC.

Shadow 06-08-2004 08:04 PM

Go CNBC! Kick that dude off your network. Wait...isn't he still on Fox?

Funky Fly 06-08-2004 08:10 PM

LOL

Now he's gonna come back to the studio and slam someone with a chair so hard that they'll go slightly anemic form severe blood loss.

I-Hate-You 06-08-2004 08:28 PM

Wait until his next column. He's going to be pissed.

Dave Youell 06-08-2004 08:45 PM

I really dont see what the big deal is, he's only saying 'Hi' to the fans, observe:

Hmm actually thinking about other things as well this whole HHH T-shirt design has been very Nazish as well. Hmmmmmmm, could titan towers be the start of the 4th Reich?

Dazz 06-08-2004 08:47 PM

Well, JBL deserves anything that comes to him.

Head 06-08-2004 08:49 PM

Good for CNBC.

It still really pisses me off that he wasn't arrested for it though. What he did is a serious offense in Germany, and I don't think he should be getting off clean just because of his status.

Vega 06-08-2004 08:50 PM

ROFL

OWNED

I-Hate-You 06-08-2004 08:55 PM

Now if someone like Flair did something like this, would it be different in your eyes?

Head 06-08-2004 08:56 PM

No.

loopydate 06-08-2004 09:11 PM

Nope.

If Flair did it, it would probably be attributed to senility, as opposed to dumbassnicity.

And yes, dumbassnicity is a word. :shifty:

He doesnt deserve the push in the first place. :|

Aussie Skier 06-08-2004 09:33 PM

i feel sorry 4 him.

i hope he was fully aware of the ramifications of doing what he did.
hope this doesnt screw with his gimmick

6to1 06-08-2004 09:34 PM

back to fox for him, i did'nt know he was ever with cnbc

Samurai_Star_Sailor 06-08-2004 09:55 PM

im glad flashing a nazi salute is like flipping off the president

Mr. JL 06-08-2004 11:02 PM

Fired? Whoopidy doo

I'm just surprized the German fans didn't F'N KILL HIM. He got off lucky

Joe Kerr 06-08-2004 11:11 PM

I wonder if this will take him out of the mainevent status. Im going to assume that he isnt going to win the title at the next PPV. The WWE doesnt like to be embarassed.

The Naitch 06-08-2004 11:29 PM

One word

Velocity

The Naitch 06-08-2004 11:30 PM

oh and 5 more letters

LMFAO

Gone Mad 06-08-2004 11:34 PM

Good for Bradshaw. Serves him right. Anyone should be smart enough not to do that but apparently Mr. Layfield wasn't. Can't wait to see him jobbing to everyone and their mother (Eddie's included).

Less Bradshaw= Ratings!

Joe Kerr 06-08-2004 11:37 PM

JBL jobs to Funaki

The Naitch 06-08-2004 11:39 PM

Now if only HArdcore Holly can screw something up on the weekend then we'd all be happy

Innovator 06-08-2004 11:48 PM

Ahem! let me clear my throat...

NA NA NA NA

NA NA NA NA

HEY HEY HEY

GOODBYE

Favre4Ever 06-09-2004 12:04 AM

don't diss Holly........he'll come get ya.....

-- One of John Bradshaw Layfield's co-workers reacted to Layfield's behavior on the recent tour of Germany by saying, "I'm embarassed to be a part of this company".

-- Bradshaw sparked outrage by "goose stepping" and using the "Hitler salute" in one of his matches.

"I'm sure he thought it was no big deal," said another co-worker. "Well it was a big deal, and the timing couldn't have been worse. The entire world was paying tribute to the men who died at D-Day, and we've got a clown in the ring making a fool of himself and the company."

-- The only WWE reaction was a brief apology that appeared on WWE.com for a short time earlier today before it was pulled. More information on this whole saga can be found on the newsboard.

Like the WWE deals heavily in reality.

John Bradshaw Layfield, above, greets long time fan, Ninti the Mad.

But seriously, good for CNBC. Though it was likely only to save their own asses, it's good to know he's gotten some repercussion for his actions.

Though I hear he's got a 6 year deal with Limbaugh and a 10 year deal with Hannitty.

Kane Knight 06-09-2004 01:28 AM

I hear his fans have committed suicide in the wake of his firing.

Funeral services will be held for both of them this weekend.

Corkscrewed 06-09-2004 02:01 AM

Serves him right. I'm cool with his wrestling character, but Bradshaw the person is a moron. He really should be fired completely. What kind of example does the company set by keeping a man not named Triple H who endorses Nazi signs and poses?
