JBL vs Joey Styles

[krayfesh]

--

Word is coming in about a major backstage altercation that took place while the WWE crew was overseas in Iraq for Tribute to the Troops. Former ECW personality and WWE.com writer Joey Styles punched out former WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield, busting him open under the eye.

JBL is one of the senior members of the WWE lockerroom and has a reputation for being somewhat of a bully. According to several sources, JBL picked out Joey Styles to be the target of his hazing during the Iraq tour. JBL was messing with Styles all week, including calling him condecending names in front of other WWE employees and spilling a drink on him intentionally.

After a few days of abuse, Joey Styles had enough abuse and confronted JBL, who had been drinking at the time. The altercation turned physical and Styles dropped JBL with a punch to the face. Several wrestlers had to step in and break it up.

At last night's RAW tapings, JBL was unusually quiet while Styles tried to play down the incident and did not want to talk about it. While some companies would fire an employee for an incident like this, there are actually some people within the company that feel Styles standing up for himself might actually score him some points with Vince McMahon.

Weird. But good to hear of someone standing up to JBL

I marked out when i read it.

Layfield is a boorish, arrogant, obnoxious bully who has been terrorrising young, vulnerable wrestlers for a long time, so it's great to see that someone has finally stood up to him and sat him on his arse.

Even better that it was done by a small man who has no wrestling experience.

The embarrassment for Layfield is going to be huge.

What's the bet WWE introduce an angle between the two on screen.

Apparently they got in each others face, they were seperated, then Layfield bum rushed Styles, who floored him.

Makes it even more hilarious.

Just goes to show you that there's no defence for a good right hook. Clothesline from Pussyville more like.

I'm glad he got smashed. As another poster stated he's been picking on other wrestlers for years and simply doesn't deserve the success in the ring he's had. He's a crap wrestler and crap person.

Or not

According to one eye witness, JBL was bullying him, pouring drinks on him and calling him all sorts of names. “When he turned his back, Joey jumped him and caught JBL with a punch that gave him a small cut under the eye that was bleeding like crazy. JBL was furious.”

Either way Joey sconed JBL, so from a fan of the original ECW and lover of joey as a personality

Joey>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>JBL

Or not

Both versions came from dirt sheets, so who knows which is accurate.

But knowing the type of guy Layfield is, i know which scenario is more likely.
