As we reported yesterday, CNBC cancelled all relationships between John Bradshaw Layfield due to his incorporating Nazi mannerisms into his ring work during a match on 6/5 against Eddie Guerrero in Munich, Germany (which, it should again be noted is illegal to do in that country).
WWE management apparently found out about the news regarding CNBC and JBL yesterday afternoon at the Smackdown! tapings. Vince McMahon was said to have been very angry about it. He surprisingly wasn't angry at Bradshaw for doing it, but was angry at CNBC for reacting so “heavy-handedly” to Bradshaw's behaviour. Acording to sources within WWE, Bradshaw won't be “dealt with” by the company. In other words, WWE have no plans to punish him. However, as we posted here yesterday, WWE.com posted a statement regarding the incident. In fact, there was a feeling among a number of employees that the only reason that the statement was even put up on the company website was because WWE was trying to keep Bradshaw from being let go by CNBC, but I can only say that is just people’s opinion at this time.
Speaking of Bradshaw, it should be noted that CNBC received thousands of calls and emails from people calling for them to take action over what Bradshaw did. They were really left with no choice but to let him go, especially when you consider what he did broke German law (not to mention the laws of common sense and decency).
