John Layfield is a former WWE Star, who used to wrestle under the name of Bradshaw, he was tag team partners with Farooq (the Accolytes, APA) and then he went as a single wrestler under the name of JBL, wearing a cowboy hat and a suit as you see above. John was forced to retire from wrestling due to a broken back. Now he is living over in, Bermuda. Doing work for a program with kids, coaching kids to play Rugby. More info, here.

John is planning to raise money for a good cause, by climbing the Seven Summits.

Yep, he is 45, and his back is not in good shape at all, and he’s serious on climbing to the top of the Seven Summits. Planning to climb all seven peaks? Yes, people in the past have climbed all 7 peaks successfully without death, but can John do it without giving up or killing himself?

This guy has balls. He is crazy to do this with his bad back, but I wish him the best of luck and I hope he can do it. He seems like a good guy, and he’s pretty inspiring. I’ll be keeping an eye out on his adventures in facebook ’cause I know he’s going to be posting plenty of videos and photos while climbing the mountain. I hope he survives the climb. He is known as a “wrestling god”, right? Well, I hope he’ll become a “climbing god”. Good luck, JBL!
