Whilst still a part of WWE's much-maligned announce team, John 'Bradshaw' Layfield's last WWE match to-date came at WrestleMania XXV. What a memorable match it was too, as JBL lost his Intercontinental Championship to a Joker-inspired Rey Mysterio in just 21 seconds. It was blink and you'll miss it stuff, which led to JBL emotionally quitting after the match.

When The Ascension arrived on the main roster at the beginning of 2015 it seemed as though JBL would be making a return to the ring, as he battered the newcomers on commentary for their apparent disrespect towards the legendary tag teams of the past. Many (myself included) believed that this was leading to a showdown between The Ascension and a reformed-for-one-night Acolyte Protection Agency. 

This never happened, Konnor and Viktor eventually doing battle against the New Age Outlaws instead. As such, JBL's last WWE match to this date came at WrestleMania XXV. If he does return to the ring, he'll be hoping it lasts a little longer than 21 seconds.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
