WWE issues John Bradshaw Layfield apology
World Wrestling Entertainment issued a public apology on its web site Tuesday morning for John Bradshaw Layfield’s Nazi-related gestures last weekend on a show in Munich, Germany.

“WWE and John Layfield deeply regret Mr. Layfield's actions in the ring at our event in Munich, and apologize if it has offended or upset our fans,” the statement said. “Mr. Layfield has been reprimanded for his actions.”

The type of sanctions was not specified.

In an apparent attempt to draw crowd heat during his match against Eddie Guerrero, numerous eyewitness reports said Layfield goose-stepped around the ring and raised his arm in a Hitler salute. Such actions are illegal in Germany, although no criminal charges were brought against Layfield after the show.
