#4: John 'Bradshaw' Layfield

JBL has been accused of hazing and bullying by over a dozen Superstars.

JBL may be a Wrestling God and a former WWE Champion, but he certainly made a lot of enemies backstage in the company. A notorious hazer, Layfield has made headlines throughout his career for all the wrong reasons, as many have called the Texan a bully.

There's certainly a lot of ammunition to these claims, such as when JBL delivered a very real beatdown to the Blue Meanie during the ECW One Night Stand 2005 event.

Even in recent years, the Triple Crown Champion hasn't shied away from controversy, as he harrassed Mauro Ranallo about an award the latter received, until the point where Ranallo quit the company.

In Bradshaw's defence, JBL has done plenty of charity work, including climbing seven summits to raise money for underprivileged kids in Burmuda. More details about the seven summits challenge can be found here.
