10 Wrestler Names That Ribbed Other Wrestlers
9. Tripp Bradshaw
John Bradshaw Layfield's run as a color commentator on WWE television offers him two opportunities every week.
The first is serving as Vince McMahon's proxy and mouthpiece. When JBL buries someone on commentary, it's assumed that he's just echoing Vince's thoughts on the subject. The second? JBL doing a little Texas Two-step down the ramp on the way to the commentary booth. And one time, JBL tripped and fell down during said Texas Two-step intro. Did WWE sweep it under the rug? Nope. They did the opposite.
There's no better way to mock JBL falling down in front of a crowd than to name an enhancement guy on 205 Live after the incident. So Tripp Bradshaw was born. And apparently, according to the performer known as Tripp Bradshaw, he's teasing a return for the summer. (To be fair, Tripp Bradshaw is better than his other names, like Ren Jones and Palmer Cruise.)
Even JBL is not immune to a bit of mockery these days.
