Live NXT Thread - January 18th Dale is Lazy edition!

Figured it would be pronounced Gunter and not Gunther, kinda in the same way they pronounce it Valter.

Will catch up on it later.

[RDK]

Gunther and Adolf Ziggler about to be tag champs

 

[Roy Mustang]

They changed WALTER's name to a fucking nazi's name

This fucking company

 

[Chris]

Tbf it's only a nazi name if they add the last name. If not then he's named after the barista from Friends

 

[Chris]

Not sure which is worse ngl

Unfortunately the cat is out of the bag with the trademark, we already know lol

 

[Chris]

Yeah but it seems to me they've already walked it back bc of backlash since it's a nazi lol and now it's just the first name

 

[Chris]

But Idk I wanna see the official announcement too bc the way Walter just said it and it wasn't acknowledged further bc of the attack was so weird lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

Not to mention it's top tier braindeadness

Wwe: yo , come to the US you will love it abs we will push you as a serious act

Walter: cool

Wwe: welcome! Here's a nazi name enjoy being a stereotype lol enjoy the horrible press and ruining your 10 year legacy with that name simply because we must own you

 

[Chris]

And it wouldn't be the first time they've ignored a trade mark since they went with Wagner after after trademarked the misspelled version first

I'm not defending it

 

[Chris]

I mostly just wanted to make the Friends joke

 

[Comrade Khan]

Just because he didn't say his last name doesn't mean they walked it back at all imo. They doubled down by putting it on the only Austrian that already uses war general like imagery n imperium promos even kind of flirt with nationalism lately . Its It's horrible horrible look no matter which way u cut imo n right after they took shit for elimination chamber . It's just so much wtf to me lol

 

[Chris]

You're not gonna get me to call "Gunther" a nazi name by itself tho lol I hate it enough regardless anyway
