Opinion by Alex Carson

After reading about the repugnant actions of John "Bradshaw" Layfield this past weekend in Germany, where Mr. Layfield sought heat by use of Hitler gestures, it is without a doubt in this writer's mind that Layfield should be fired. No, I don't mean fired from his position as a CNBC analyst. That has already been addressed, and executed by the folks at CNBC. Not to confuse WWE as a credible corporation who would be concerned about what the public thinks, such as CNBC obviously did, but I think this one is a no-brainer.

Whether you're a wrestler attempting to generate "heel heat," or an Average Joe voicing your opinion. Hailing a man who put so many through agony such as Hitler, is globally unacceptable. It lacks class. It leaves little to wonder about one's character. Even in the edgy Sports-Entertainment world of today, these actions are truly horrible.

In all fairness to the company, this could not have come at much of a worse time for World Wrestling Entertainment. Their top heel from the Smackdown! roster has left to pursue a dream career, so they rolled the dice on John "Bradshaw" Layfield. They so desperately needed someone to fill the void left by Lesnar. While I could talk about how Booker T was -- and is sure should be now -- that top heel, we can save that for a later confabulation. So, they blew on the dice, and rolled them. Yikes. You rolled a seven, Vince.

This man is about to headline your company's June Pay-Per-View. You're airing commercials showing his face. You're pushing him as a legitimate challenger to your company's prized trophy. Then, all of a sudden something bad happens. This man you're lifting up, and presenting to the world as a viable option for the most coveted World Championship in the history of the sport, salutes one of the world's most dangerous men, in a country he put through misery.

Now, I am a firm believer that the entertainment side of wrestling is just like any other theater. You have heroes, and you have bad guys. In a movie, or a television soap opera, you may find men hitting women. You may find people with special abilities overcoming odds. So, I have no problem with the storylines such as Eugene, or Bubba Ray Dudley putting a woman through a table. Why? Those "defenseless" people endured the punishment and humiliation they received, only to overcome them. It makes for an awesome story. That is not classless entertainment as some of the net rags have so deemed it. What Layfield did, however, is. What are the chances there was not a single Jewish German in the crowd? Probably not good. What are the chances there were no German's ashamed of their ancestors behaviors? Also not good.

The bad news for WWE's PR is, they did not reprimand Layfield until word of his actions became public. While he has been let go by CNBC, I'm just not so certain he is even on the fence with WWE. How could this be? Again, by placing him in the main event of a show you want us to pay for, you've advertised him down our throats. Now, we have to find out about this. The Internet may account for a small portion of fans, but come Sunday in the arena, and at preceding house shows, the news will spread. We can now only hope that Layfield gets what he really deserves.
