JOHN "BRADSHAW" LAYFIELD
Posted by: Krazy Loop on 06/10/2004

By now nearly everyone knows of Bradshaw’s problems arising from his performance at a recent WW”e” show in Germany. It is wholly understandable that European and other fans might not be ecstatic with Bradshaw. Moreover, many of his co-workers share that sentiment.

Further abuse is unwarranted. His actions don’t rank with child molestation, the armed robbery of the local Wendy’s, or drug addiction. Bradshaw is more like an overgrown kid than an OJ Simpson or Heinrich Himmler.

The worst charge the politically correct can level at another is “insensitivity.” For that “crime” the self-annointed at CNBC canceled Bradshaw’s radio show virtually before it got off the ground. They knew or should have known when they hired him that: 1) they weren’t dealing with a world class sophisticate, 2) World War II was over nearly sixty years ago and decades before Bradshaw was born, and 3) wrestlers like Baron Von Raschke made long and successful careers with such trademark gimmicks.

While ignorance on Bradshaw’s part, excessive kafaybe, or both may have gotten the better of him, we wonder if the WW”e” ever heard of liasion officers. Liasions inform business people, government representatives, and people in the public eye how others around the world perceive certain acts. What seems harmless to us may be highly insulting in a foreign country.

For that reason the WW”e” bears the blame, not Bradshaw.
