 Canadian Football League - nope 
He does not show up on any all time CFL team roster. Same for the Raiders of the NFL. He does have a football card for the 1991 San Antonio Riders, so he probably played for them. 

Controversy flaw
JBL using racial slurs isn't actually controversial. It's part of his gimmick. It shouldn't be part of the controversy section.  

JBL's racial slurs as part of his gimmick are controversial.  Just because they're scripted does not make them non-controversal.  Further, JBL's comments are controversal just as the Cryme Tyme gimick has been controversial, too.

The controversial section needs some cleaning up. Where's the objectivity? Most of it assumes him as racist by making no dissemination between his personal beliefs, and his gimmick.  

mess
i'm gonna clean up the last paragraph in the 2006 section, as it is written with alot of broken english that is difficult to understand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile;=THEAPA.jpg appears as red, the photo does not exist on the page 

 Judgment Day 
should it be noted under a trivia uestion that the last 3 years in a row JBL was in a main event match for a world title at Judgement day (04 he faced Eddie Guerrero, 05 he faced John Cena, and in 06 he faced Rey Mysterio)

 Anyone know the date of his WWF debut? 
The best I can find is December 1995 as John Hawk against Savio Vega (http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/95.htm). Is that right.@ 

 Nicknames 
Should a section be added with ""Wrestling God"" put there? I'm not sure if he's had any other nicknames or if it's notable enough. But it would seem so, other articles (see Triple H) list them.  
I don't think we should. Triple H has had multiple nicknames, 3 of which he still uses. Layfield used only that one, he used it sparingly, he was almost never called ""Wrestling God"" by other superstars or commentators, and he has not used it in years. ( )

 Powerbomb? 
I've never seen JBL do a powerbomb. Why is it listed? Because it's his finisher in SmackDown! vs. RAW 2007 or what?!  Emilos

Erased. 142.162.194.57  

 In Ring Return 
I think we should call him a SEMI-RETIRED wrestler, as he returned to in-ring competition on Raw last night, and he actually wrestled.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs)  
He did not wrestle though, he helped beat up Coach and Carlito. The match was just Hornswoggle vs. Coach and Carlito (it was no DQ, thats why the APA could interfere).  Spyke 
WWE.com announced his in-ring return.   

 Return To Active Duty 
It seems we've been entertaining a bit of looking into the crystal ball, here. JBL returns tonight on Smackdown, but until that show airs, it's not official unless it's properly referenced somewhere else (WWE.com or another reliable source).   

 Well this ultimately proved to be false... 
In ""Semi-Retirement / WWE Commentator (2006-2007)""...

""Layfield noted in a recent commentary on TheStreet.com that he was retiring from in-ring competition for good...""

""A broken back suffered in a match in England, compounded by a herniated and bulged disc, finally made me realize my career as a professional wrestler was over.""

Yet he returns a year and a half later

Should these comments be retained?
