Bradshaw To Use Nazi Gimmick???

Quote:
Ever since the controversial nazi gestures were performed by John Bradshaw Layfield, while wrestling in Germany, there has been widespread speculation that his character will soon turn from a self-made man to a nazi sympathiser.

Several backstage reports from live WWE events have revealed that management are currently weighing up their options on the subject, and were said to be 'Not too disappointed' with JBL's firing from CNBC, as this may open the door to character changes in the future, without jeopardising his credibility.

Vince McMahon is said to be keen on the idea of a nazi in the WWE, as he believes the character would 'Generate tremendous crowd heat'.

One backstage source claims that steps have already been taken to turn JBL into a full-on nazi. These steps are said to include, a brainstorming session for a nazi finishing move, during which the most popular idea was 'The Gas Chamber', involving JBL suffocating his opponent inside his arm-pit (This idea allegedly came from Spike Dudley).

Former head of talent relations, Jim Ross, commented briefly to a source on the matter. He is claimed to have said, 'With Bill Goldberg gone, that's our main Jewish audience gone with him. So I don't think viewer complaints will be an issue'.

If the WWE decides to go ahead with this gimmick, then be prepared for a huge media backlash.

Has WWE gone completely insane? If they do this, it has to be the final nail in the coffin.
