The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2004 JBL- The New York City Cowboy with a Texas Bullrope and a Nazi Salute. It's like everything American rolled into one: big city, cowboys, and ignorance! Bradshaw, you fool. He should've known that Germany is really sensitive about the Nazi past and any sort of gestures or paraphernalia relating to the subject is strictly verboten. Don't Neo-Nazis over there get into REAL trouble? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2004 Seriously, I knew this was going to happen at some time. I figured though that he was going to insult Cuban people in Miami, though. But what happened instead was even worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted June 7, 2004 Who gives a fuck? The millions of people who lost family because of the Nazi's? The countries who have never recovered their former glory because of that war? And it being around the time of the 60th anniversy of Dday certainly doesn't help. It makes me embarressed to be a wrestling fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 Hahahah, that loveable scamp Bradshaw, jokingly doing that salute, invoking images of massive death tolls, a totalitarian regime and genocide... Anyone who thinks this is in any way acceptable, you are a ****ing moron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Australian Pride 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 Anyone who thinks this is in any way acceptable, you are a ****ing moron. Well, you hit the nail right on the head there.

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted June 7, 2004 God Bradshaw is dumb. I mean, I knew the guy was a f*cking jackass, but this could hurt the WWE's amrket in Germany for years to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlaskanHero 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 I seriously doubt that the WWE thought that doing the Nazi salute would have any serious repurcussions or cost them money/viewers/etc, otherwise they wouldn't have had Bradshaw do it. You have to remember that the WWE isn't all that smart when it comes to anything outside of North America. And even then they still fuck up here. To me the WWE is like the guy who's trying to be cool, but is two to three fads behind everyone else. And I refuse to place all the blame on Bradshaw until I know if it was all his idea or did someone backstage push him to do it. I will call him stupid for doing the salute though. So yeah, Bradshaw is stupid for what he did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that depends on how many of the German fans know about this. It was just a house show, and we don't know how many of the German fans are net-savvy.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 7, 2004 I wouldn't be shocked if it got on the german news... even when WWE comes here for a house show or raw taping or something...one of the local stations will do a fluff piece on it... so you can bet Germany news will talk about it if they have footage.

Kardo 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 Is anyone sure he just didn't do his normal hand raise in the air and fans didn't know otherwise? Because potentially that looks like a nazi salute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insane Bump Machine 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 Well, that depends on how many of the German fans know about this. It was just a house show, and we don't know how many of the German fans are net-savvy. German wrestling fans are very net-savvy, since we didn't get WWE on free TV for a couple of years and could only follow it via internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickster 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 The Hook 'EM signal is drastically different then the Nazi Salute. He doesn't DO the hook-em horns anymore; he just waves or holds up a fist, right? I haven't seen him do the horns in over a month. Couldn't he just have been waving and the fan gave *him* the salute, later blaming it on JBL? I'm not so sure we can automatically blame JBL for this without any more info on the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted June 7, 2004 I hate Bradshaw whether or not he did do it. If he did: Either he or whoever told him to do it is a complete retard. If he didn't: He's a redneck who couldn't wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Just Looking Report post Posted June 7, 2004 goose-stepping? Yes, goose-stepping-- like the way the Nazi army did while they were marching. Surely you've seen videos of that. Arms and legs very rigid, very little bending of the joints, high leg kicks, lots of arm movement... Like this. Or this. **Edited to add images** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Styles 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2004 What a fucking moron. Even if he was told to do it, he is for going along with it. Earth to Bradshaw: There's a REAL WORLD out there beyond wrestling, and what might seem funny to you is dreadfully serious to the rest of the world. Meltzer: We don't have a lot in the way of details, but apparently there was a major scene at yesterday's WWE show in Munich when JBL started goose stepping and making Nazi signs. That's illegal in Germany and the Bavarian Governor's Chief of Staff, and his children, were at the show. Shocked he wasn't arrested. WWE should release an online apology and Bradshaw should be fined... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
