Unless this is what they going for. Maybe he'll bring in his superior adolf hotler. You know, gunther shows up for a while, and hes a super good heel. But he cant quite get the job done. Then he brings in hitler.

If you can see this message it's a wonder why it hasn't been modded yet by the snowflakes.

You can't just cancel every German name because some nobody Nazi had it.

Kapitnleutnant Gnther Stark served as the captain of a U-Boat for 29 days before it was sunk in 1944. That's it. He was just some dude who served in the German navy and died after a month of active patrol. The same story could be told for probably a million different German names.

yeah i have never heard of the guy, he isn't a major perpetrator at least. depends on intent really. if the talent or wwe intentionally are using the name of a nazi soldier that is an issue but if it is incidental it really isn't a huge deal imo

Reminds me of the time where one of the writers pitched an idea to Vince that Heidenreich was going to be a nazi that was frozen in time named Baron von Bava. When Vince heard the idea, he simply just got up and left the room

So, per tonight's NXT, Gunther is officially WALTER's new name, but they seem to have dropped "Stark"

Makes sense. Apparently Vince wanted Mustafa Ali to do a gimmick that Ali said he would never do. You can fill in the blank on what that gimmick would be.
