I know this happened a couple of days ago but hell I just had to mention this!

"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."

Well let's face it..... He's got a shit gimmick but it's more controversial that Stone Cold Steve Austn!

Actually, his gimmick is pretty fucking sweet. But I don't know about the nazi signs. That seems a little over the top to me.

Call me crazy but I dont care. What JBL did was wrong Im sorry I know its his gimmick and all but that is againest the law in Germany so it was uncalled for, plus I dont find it funny at all. You all are probably thinking that Im taking this to serious but oh well its my opinion. I cant stand JBL and this make me hate him even more.

Duffyboy · 06-08-2004, 10:56 AM

Better not post any pictures of the event then!

The same one I tried to print a second ago no doubt!

Didn't work for me somehow. Ah well, fuck it.

I personally think he went too far doing that. You don't do that, heel or not. It's a sensitive subject there, you have no idea how much one can hurt people doing that. You don't take the horrible things that happened during the second world war, and proceed to use them for material to play heel. You just don't do that. It's like La Resistance making fun of 9/11 in the US, only worse.

I heard Fox News fired him over it, too.
