- Yesterday during the WWE SmackDown brand House Show in Munich, Germany when John Bradshaw Layfield teamed up with Booker T to take on The Undertaker & Eddie Guerrero, JBL reportedly flashed "Nazi" signs to gain some heat from the crowd in attendance.

Since the incident took place, numerous reports became available on the internet with various details concerning the situation. From what is known, JBL threw up the "Nazi" symbol at two separate times, angering many fans at the show. One fan even got thrown out of the arena when he wanted to attack JBL in the ring for doing so. For those unaware, flashing the symbol is illegal in Germany and even foreigners can be punished under German law for such an activity.

The general opinion of JBL at this time was that it was a sad attempt to gain heat from the crowd when he simply couldn't do it based on his character alone. It should also be noted that the Bavarian Governer's Chief of Staff and children were present at the show.

THat's just wrong.
