— John Bradshaw Layfield has posted a blog acknowledging Rey Mysterio’s challenge to him at WrestleMania. “Got brand new boots for Wrestlemania, first time to wear them,” Layfield wrote. “Not sure why Rey Mysterio is so stupid to challenge me on such a historic occasion, but he will be the one that suffers.” (JBL Going to Mania)
