Talk:John Layfield

message: There was a story a few years back that he was bisexual. Apparently his marriage  breakdown was caused by this. If i can provide a legit source, can someone add a section?.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.194.157 (talk) 11:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:   Bisexual? 

message: Just an idea, but as this is his ringname, which contains his full name, AND he has been going by since 2004 AND he's called John "Bradshaw" Layfield in non-wrestling appearances, like his appearances on Cavuto on Fox News, I'm proposing we move the article to "John 'Bradshaw' Layfield."

replies: text: Reason - He is best known as John "Bradshaw" Layfield or JBL, he has been referred to as John "Bradshaw" Layfield in real life as well --Brothers of destruction (talk) 18:02, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Snowy Oppose - original discussion that was just archived resulted in Oppose move. I will give my same reasoning, there is no distinct difference, Bradshaw is just a minor alias between his name in parenthesis.--SRX 22:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but this John Layfield is the one most known under "John Layfield."--SRX 22:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My explanation? 2 Words, ring name. Also, if it were a big problem projects would have asked WP:PW to come up on a consensus to make this John Layfield a disam. page, but none yet because this one is more notable than the others.--SRX 22:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay but John Bradshaw Layfield is not how Bradshaw is properly placed in the article, plus that Layfield has gained prominence under many other names, just Bradshaw, Hawk, etc.--SRX 22:43, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Face Turn 

message: Hey, I'm redoing the Professional Wrestling Holds page, adding the manji hold into the list. Particularly in the later half of his career, JBL has often used the manji hold in his matches and I wanted to add the move to his movelist as a cross-reference. A cursury look at his 2008 matches should verify the factuality of what I say: is anyone up to add the manji hold into JBL's movelist?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristianColde (talk • contribs) 04:30, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Manji hold to his movelists 

message: Shouldn't the multiple reports of Layfield repeatedly "ribbing" Joey Styles -- and Styles punching out Layfield during a WWE tour of Iraq merit some inclusion in this article?  If nothing else it should appear under "Controversies" for his reputation as an abusive ribber. Austinmayor (talk) 04:06, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering noone of those sites on the first page of results are reliable sources, except the Miami Herald - which doesn't mention anything about Styles allegedly punching JBL, no it shouldn't be mentioned. If you find a reliable source, feel free to add it. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 11:06, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is this source reliable: ? Austinmayor (talk) 03:12, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not listed at WP:PW/SG#Sources under the reliable section, so I'd say no. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Punched Out By [[Joey Styles]]

message: There's not really much in the article about how he made his money, when he came into it and his business dealings. I wouldn't know where to research it, but if anyone knows much about this side of his life I think it'd be an interesting addition. Tony2Times (talk) 00:25, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The "JBL bullying scandal" page was great and all, very informative, but it was too far fetched. It sounded like an attack page. It wasn't even that publicized of an event to create an entire article over. Now all we have to do is delete the "criticism and reception of Roman Reigns" page.
