Vince McMahon was extremely upset with CNBC over their decision to fire John Bradshaw Layfield from his financial analyst spot. McMahon thought that the network acted too harshly. The feeling is that WWE will not punish Bradshaw in anyway over the incident. It should be noted that the recent Bradshaw push was almost exclusively Vince McMahon's idea. Some backstage think that the briefly posted WWE.com statement over the incident was only posted to keep CNBC from firing Bradshaw which obviously didn't work.
Layfield, 36, was recently elevated to a main-event position on the WWE's Smackdown roster after his character was changed to portray him as an anti-immigration zealot, with Mexicans usually the targets of his prejudice during weekly Thursday telecasts on UPN.
