John "Bradshaw" Layfield has always been one of wrestling's bigger men. At six and a half feet tall, and pushing three hundred pounds, the affable but arrogant Texan has made a career out of utilizing his size and strength to his advantage.

Long before he was known for announcing or making money on the stock market, JBL was knocking the slobber out of his opponent's mouths with his variation of the Clothesline, which he lovingly refers to as the Clothesline from Hell.

What makes his variation so special is the fact that JBL bounces off the ropes near the corner, where the tension is highest.

This gives him a tremendous boost of speed and impetus that he transfers into a devastating blow with his clubbing forearm. You can check out JBL's greatest 'hits' below.
