If the WWE can make a Black Panther-like stable(Nation of Domination) and...

The last time that happened SmackDown was almost taken off UPN and a worker lost their job.

Yeah I know although wasn't he moved to Raw for a year? I can't remember if he was fired immediately or not. Also you really think a Nazi gimmick would work out? Finally that was also down to the unfortunate situation with the London bombings and the masked man segment which took place not just the gimmick.

He was on RAW then sent to SmackDown the whole thing happened and he was taken off TV and he was let go months later. With terror attacks a lot more frequent nowadays it can even be worse. About the Nazi thing, it depends on whether or not Triple H's friend Mark, is a jew or not. ity2:

I don't think this kind of thing would have been socially acceptable in many eras, let's not pretend we've softened up recently on the old Nazi chestnut.

I'll pretend as much as I please, thank you very much.

This would 100% never happen in the world we live in today. I think it'd be considered too much for even the Attitude Era. The Nation of Domination might have talked about black power and all, but seeing a Neo-Nazi stable (possibly complete with swastika tattoos across their chests or whatever) would be too much for most people. There once was a biker-gang type of stable in the AE called The Disciples of Apocalypse, and while they never said they were white supremacists, they did strongly hint at it, what with two-thirds of the group being skinheads and with their primary feuds being with racial groups like The Nation of Domination (all-black gang) and the Los Buricuas (all-Hispanic gang.) That's the closest you're likely ever getting to it. A writer even proposed to Vince back in 2004 about doing a Neo-Nazi character and it's said that even McMahon was so shocked by the idea that he got up and left the room.

It's fun to imagine an alternate universe though where there were no limits or restrictions (or only a few of them) and wrestlers were allowed to say and do whatever they wanted (basically an R-rated movie type of programming, where all type of cursing and nudity is allowed) because an Edward Norton-type of character like from the movie American History X would be an excellent heat magnet, but it just isn't feasible in the real world. Many would be turned off and never watch again, and some would likely jump the barrier and try to harm the person for real.

Yeah, if such a stable were ever possible in the WWE/F, I can defiinately imagine the writers creating a story angle between the fictional Neo Nazi stable and Stone Cold Steve Austin where the leader of the stable constantly attemps to persuade Stone Cold into joining their wrestling stable since Austin would fit the "perfert Aryan man" standards(especially since he's a bald White man from Texas) yet Austin constantly rejects their offer and then Stone Cold Stuns the leader of the stable.

Then again, an angle like this could have possibly harmed Stone Cold's reputation and star power as a WWE wrestler due to an extremely controversial issue like racism.
