With the motto, "Work harder, work smarter" as his creed, John "Bradshaw" Layfield is out to prove that his formula for success in the arena of financial planning is every bit as useful in the wrestling arena.

The Abilene Christian University alumnus starred on the football team at the college, where he also studied ancient history. After injuries ended his football career, he found himself with no job and little money. He told himself that if he ever made money again, he'd know what to do with it. Sure enough, since becoming a WWE Superstar, his success in the ring has been matched by his stock-picking acumen. Even when the "bull market" subsided, and so-called experts were losing their proverbial shirts, Bradshaw's portfolio was increasing. In the summer of 2003, JBL's book, "Have More Money Now," a commonsense, straight-talk financial advice book, was released. He also writes a column for WWE.com.

Once known as the beer-drinking, cigar-smoking brawler who helped the APA rise to the top of the WWE tag team division, JBL now has a new attitude, and he even relocated out of his native Texas and into a posh penthouse in New York City. He has traded in his muscle shirts for $3,000 suits and $1,000 hats, and now drives a custom Limo to take him from place to place. In addition to accumulating an amazing amount of cash from the stock market, and a top-notch wardrobe, the mighty JBL was also able to add the title of WWE Champion to his portfolio after defeating Eddie Guerrero at The Great American Bash in June of 2004.

And for the last six months, JBL has survived battles with Undertaker and Booker T among others to retain that coveted belt. He has also begun to form a Cabinet, featuring Orlando Jordan, the Basham Brothers and Amy Weber.
