Here\'s some breaking news for the wrestling fans here, I know there\'s not many but I\'m gonna post it anyways:

John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield has been fired by CNBC in the past few hours, after finding out and investigating the “Nazi” incident which occurred on the German leg of WWE’s European tour.  CNBC investigated the incident and a spokesperson for the company said that they “found his behavior to be offensive, inappropriate and not benefiting anyone associated with our network”.


Wow another person famous fired for doing something stupid.:rolleyes:

CNBC fired him.  He\'ll still be headlining the next Smackdown PPV.

It sucks for him that CNBC fired him, but he did act like a total ass in Germany.

To us wrestling fans kinda... He\'s been given the "rich-man, knows it all" gimmick. Just like The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. Now that guy was the shit. Stuffing hundred dollar bills in people\'s mouths. Pimp.

I think he was marching around like a Nazi soldier, too.

Doing that kind of stuff is illegal in Germany.  He was trying to get people to boo him.  He ended up losing his CNBC job. Fans wrote them complaining about his behavior.
