General Wrestling VII: Beyond Thunderdome

[NotGreyheim]

WWE recently filed to trademark 'Gunther Stark' presumably for a new NXT talent. A quick Google search shows that 'Gunther Stark' was a military commander for the Nazis...

I refuse to believe it wasn’t intentional. “Gunther Stark” is way too on the nose to be a coincidence.

[Krandor]

This is the company that decided to name a stable "Submission Sorority"

I think Vince and the other higher ups are really just that clueless

[Anoat]

Also the same company that tried to trademark the nWo “too sweet” hand gesture when they saw bullet club using it, only to find out it was already owned by North Carolina State University (the Wolfpack)

And they also tried to trademark YES chants before being told it was too broad for a trademark

Remember when JBL nearly got arrested in Germany for throwing up the salute and Goose Stepping to get some crowd heat?

[Krandor]

I'm pretty sure JBL is still banned from Germany for that

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Also, odds on this being for WALTER's main roster repackage?

Roderick Strong re-opened his PWTee's shop.

Some of the comments dumb as hell..."who cares about Gunther, Walter was also a named use by Nazis". Yes, Walter is a name, so is Gunther...its not the use of the first name on its own.

I don't think anyone would have cared if it was just GUNTHER. I find it hard to believe the full name wasn't intentional just to amuse someone and/or their inner circle of friends.

Going to post the Reddit post link since the direct link is a German site, but German media has picked up on the WALTER name change.

More tweets! If anyone doesn't care for me posting these, let me know. Most of them come from Reddit and I don't know how many from here keep up with that. Others are just tweets I come across that seem interesting/amusing.

Hopefully this isn't referring to WALTER's name change.
Save your grandma.

Mox returns to Dynamite tonight.
Ali continues to be impressive.

I don't know if Sareee came up with that gimmick herself or someone gave it to her, but yikes.

[Krandor]

Nazi and Japanese schoolgirl gimmicks, you can definitely tell NXT is being run by Vince, Pritchard, Dunn and the other main roster people

[Xno Kappa]

Is that the same chick who was wrestling in pajamas a week or two ago lol?

[Anoat]

I mean WALTER and Imperium have always been low key Nazi allegories

Jim Ross had to explain to Vince that asian porn is a thing.

Vince must have finally looked it up in the last few weeks, and well here we go.

The more I look at Sarray's clip, the more I wonder if she's not just a schoolgirl, but based of Harry Potter because of the jewel at the end of it.

Nah, that was/is the former Mei Ying (Karen Q).

Don't they already have the whole "Mystical/magical martial arts Asian fighter" gimmick with like 3 different wrestlers already lol?
