If you don't get in trouble for doing the Nazi salute IN GERMANY...where it is ILLEGAL, you aren't going to get in trouble for this. Yeah, it's not illegal. "During a live event in Germany in June 2004, JBL attempted to get heat with the local crowd by mimicking the Nazi goose-step and salute, an act which is illegal in Germany. Although fired from his position at MSNBC, JBL continued getting a main event push." polipundit.com/index.php?p=14375

Maybe the no selling commentary was a wrestlers court verdict. Judgetaler- Miz, Morrison as punishment for your poor commentary JBL will not mention you during your match so nananananana Miz- thats it no ass raping in the showers? Morrison- Shut up Mike I will be stealing this, I do believe. The Miz, the man in a constant search of prison rape, but who keeps getting rejeccted.

He did it for the non-kayfabe reason of riling up the Germans. Anyway, on topic, JBL's commentary sucked. And he used two horrendous double negatives during it too. He's not even that good anymore, I don't see why people still like him as commentator.

It's not illegal to do it if you're an entertainer and it's part of a show. Doing some research, I found out it's illegal to do it in general and not just for political reasons. There was a whole clampdown about it during the 2006 World Cup in Germany for that very reason.

JBL is an ass, but so are Miz and Morrison on commentary.
For the life of me I don't know why they're given the opportunity when they just ramble on about teletubbies.

Well, it seems basketballs don't hold grudges, but wrestling clods...I mean gods do.

I don't want to say that JBL isn't doing his job, because i don't want to pretend that I know exactly what JBL's job is suppossed to be just because i read the internet.
JBL is not suppossed to put everyone over, I do know that much. Mabe he was showing them (or instructed to show them) just how much your charactor could loose out if you act like they're insignificant?

On ECW, I mean. It's a jobber match, I wouldn't expect much reaction.
