Bradshaw is one of my favorite wrestlers and top villains of all all time. He was epic calling matches for Smackdown some months/years ago and I love mixed martial arts.  Who hasn’t implimated the clothesline from Hell on a lippy girlfriend or noisy toddler?  If this is all true, I ask you why wouldn’t I want to shove a pineapple up my ass in anticipation of this Lords of Pain story.

The Vyper Fight League and Vyper Productions are proud to announce the addition of John “Bradshaw” Layfield, formerly WWE’s “JBL,” and Layfield Energy Company to the VFL product. John Layfield, coming fresh off of his retirement from professional wrestling, will be joining the VFL broadcast team as one of its hosts. Layfield is a former WWE Champion; the longest reigning in Smackdown history, a former broadcaster on WWE Smackdown, regularly appears on Fox News Channel’s The Cost of Freedom, is a best-selling author, and is the president and owner of Layfield Energy Company. John Layfield joins the VFL at its inaugural event, Enter the Vypers Pit, on Friday April 24th, 2009, at 4400 Shepherdsville Road in Louisville, Kentucky.

A separate as these two entities are (pro wrestling and mma) it makes perfect sense for them to overlap. Their fans are used two dumping 60 dollars in the crapper for a PPV (myself included).  Their fans both enjoy violence and high impact entertainment.  And I am informed by my friends Luke Thomas that Vince McMahon tried to buy Pride FC before it was aquired by the UFC.  

Brock Lesnar is arguably the biggest draw in mixed martial arts today.  Kurt Angle and Bobby Lashley make headlines all the time in the world of MMA.  Tank Abbot, Frank Trigg and Ken Shamrock have had runs in professional wrestling.   Clearly Vince and Dana have flirted with each others industry several times in the past, it will be interesting to see if these two titans are gonna dance all night or take each other home.  Either way, I’m doing snap kicks in anticipation.
