The thing that's blowing my mind is how every single match is getting BOTH participants over. Every match has long enough to feel like an all out war over the title. The losers still look like total badasses who just got beat on that particular night.

Put wrestlers in an even match that tells a story with a clean finish. Who knew, right?

This is an insane opinion. You shouldn't use the word struggle because hitler wrote a book that had the word struggle in the title?

kampf is an incredibly basic and root word in german. if you banned half of the words it translates to the commentary desk would sit in silence or have to come up with even goofier poo poo than vince has them say now

The Nazis spoke German so I guess Germans should just find a new language so they don't offend Americans who know absolutely nothing about Germany besides that the Nazis came from there.

Next up, we'll inform all German-speaking people that they are not to use the word "Mein" from here on out. Considering the obvious connection, you see.

The WWE will bring WALTER to the main roster and actually give him a last name.

I’m not particularly concerned about German words on his trunks. If he gets a large flat brimmed hat and starts coming out to entrance music with a gong in it I’ll start to worry he might be a white supremacist.

Not originally, but at some point during his WWE run a writer pitched this idea to Vince, along with his being managed by Paul Heyman (who is Jewish and is also the son of a Holocaust survivor). Vince was literally rendered speechless by this idea and left the room afterwards.

If you think kampf creates a bad obvious connection, just wait until you hear Marcel Barthel say "Nein"!!!

what if every time WALTER wrestled, they just blurred him out to play it safe

That's my point but better worded. It's why my original post asked if I was misunderstood and immediately copped to when I did. The connection is easy to make but sometimes you overthink things.

Also our current society is full of proud nazis and this company is owned by Vince McMahon. Leeway can be given here.

The most shocking thing about this story is that Vince didn't jump up (knocking over his streak ketchup burrito) and demanded it be on Raw the next night.

Nazis these days wear jorts or bowties.

Concerning Walter though it's a totally fair first impression to have. Trench coat, German word, and military all add up to a vilain look we're acussomed to after so many movies and history.
