Goose-stepping is an arrestable offense in Germany.

During a match, JBL was trying his best to get heel heat, so he goose-stepped.

Big no-no. And he was fired from his analyst post over it.

 

But what is goose-stepping?

 

What Baron Von Rachske used to do when walking.

You know, don't bend the knees, like the Nazis used to do while marching.

 

He did this:

 

Think Nazi soldiers marching.

 

Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Damn!

Bad news: Carlito is staying with WWE.

From WrestlingObserver.com:

We can confirm the report on PRwrestling.com earlier today that Carlito has rescinded his notice and has agreed to stay with WWE. He had a meeting with Vince McMahon at Raw and McMahon convinced him to stay. WWE decided right now for a variety of reasons that they didn't want to lose him even though he had been unhappy with the promotion for months.

Only bad news because now he won't go to TNA and become a star alongside Kurt Angle and Christian.

 

Honestly, TNA wouldn't know what to do with him. He'd debut as a face, wrestle Christian or A.J. Styles, join a tag team or stable, immediately get involved in a dissention angle, eventually turn heel and tag with Angle or Christian, but get involved in another dissention angle two weeks later, tops, then eventually get forgotten about. TNA is a totally unwatchable mess now, and whether that's Russo or someone else, or a joint effort, they need to get whatever's wrong fixed pronto.

 

I hear ya, but jobbing to Cody Runnels isn't going to do his career much good either.
