Re: WWE: NXT Thread

For me it’s his ring gear. Kurt Angle aside when I think of top of the card guys I don’t think of Singlets. He looks like a pretty generic CAW to me.

*im sure there’s been like dozens of guys no need to name them all

At the same time, I feel like if they give Bron just regular wrestling trunks and that's it, like they've done for many bigger guys, it looks more generic and out of place.

Maybe its because he reminds me a bit of Mojo (look wise) that I dont see him like a megastar.

Of all the people they got rid of, they kept Dewey Foley? The dude has presented zero good ideas since he's been in the company.

That stunner was smooth as hell. Way better than the one Owens does.

Owens stunner is basically just his version of a stunner.

The one Waller does reminds me of Rey Fenix (who probably has the best looking one).

Yeah and his version looks awkward, ****ty and the opposite of impactful

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I know I've said it before, but LA Knight has that star appeal to him. Not sure how much they had piped in crowds tonight, but that was a loud reaction too.

I hope he's in the Rumble. Surely the main roster writers can't mess him up right? I know, its possible, and they take that as a challenge.

Malcolm Bivens always has the most unintentional facial reactions.

And NXT, they sent Veer.......s former partner!


Melo: The North American championship is my business and you better keep my business out of your mouth!

I don't think he meant to say it like that....

Sad part, being named after Gunther from Friends would've been an improvement over the actual reason.

WWE recently trademarked Gunther Stark. Nobody is expected to know the significance of that name right away, but a simple Google search reveals thsts the exact name of a WW2 u-boat commander from Germany...ya, nice guy to name someone after.

So in the same week you announce the Elimination Chamber in SA AND rename a guy from Austria after a Nazi. So the second they see a group in NXT consisting of guys from Italy, Germany, Austria, that's where their mindset goes?

Sadly, this doesn't even surprise me coming from WWE.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

If you wanted to, you could probably make a case that the Imperium group always had undertones of that stuff anyway, no?

I probably shouldn’t because they’ve proven me wrong too many times, but for now I’m going to chalk up the Gunther name to coincidence and most of the reaction being people wanting to complain. It sounds exactly like it came out of a WWE generic name generator instead of being an homage to a random U-boat commander that nobody’s ever heard of. Never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.

Even without any of this, it’s still 100% a stupid name change though.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

It's a name change for trademark reasons just like all the rest. Not sure why people get so bent out of shape about them or why they need to assume it's to pay "homage" to some Nazi from the 1940's.

They should've changed his name once he joined NXT UK, so that a lot of this "fake outrage" doesn't happen.

Then again, these are wrestling fans on the internet and they'll literally whiny, cry or complain about everything WWE does. [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

And we wonder why the industry is slowly dying........SMDH

Of all the reasons you blame for the industry being trash right now, I don't think the whiny fans have that much power to impact it that way.

It's a turn off and especially for something that has a niché following, currently.

I mean I get that. I'm just saying that blaming the industry on fans is weak.

That's your opinion and I'm allowed to have mine too. Our constant need to whine, gatekeep and worry about backstage politics definitely has played a part in the decline of the industry and that is just how I feel.

I understand being attached to a name and gimmick, but giving him another alias allows them to trademark theirs while he keeps his indy name.

Otherwise, people would cry and complain when they part ways and WWE refuses to let him use the 'Walter' name outside the company.
