But most everyone agreed yesterday it was ignorance that they trademarked that name and not antisemitism so them going with only one part of it reads to me like they realized that fucked up but once again let me stress THIS IS STUPID AS FUCK, arguably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen the company, and I'm not even certain they won't still add the last name anyway which would make it an extra level of stupid to me

Should have not done the name and picked something else at a slightly later date then . Believe if I thought WWE were being antisemitic I would say. I just think they are dumb as fuck too

This is as tone deaf though as them rebranding Kenzo Suzeki as Hirohito

WAIT THEY DID FUCKING WHAT?

 

[Chris]

I was about to ask about that too this is a story I haven't heard

 

[Chris]

Woulda been around 04 or 05 I assume? Sadly not even the most tone deaf shit of the era if so

 

[Roy Mustang]

This has to be a bit surely. No way they were that dumb even then surely

And apparently gunther means something to Walter or Kyle o Reilly is just a really weird dude and that's a coincidence (I'm leaning towards the latter bc that tweet is so fucking weird) so is it still a nazi name if they add a different surname? It would still very stupid btw (still stressing this bc I'm not letting anyone tell me im defending this shit)

I'm definitely leaning towards Walter choosing/picking/suggesting it because Gunther is just way too vague for Kyle to have used it previously and then WWE slapping the name on him randomly.

they have Chavo Guerrero out there saying "if it's not white it's not right" never question how low they'd go lol

Yeah good point. Also if Walter picked the first name and the surname combo, he's an idiot himself for not googling it

pure speculation but I can see him picking the first name and then then wanting a last name, just going by how he originally picked a ring name without one lol
