Excuse me for maybe souding like an idiot here, but I really don't get th Gunther gimmick, is he suppose to be a nazi? And if so how is WWE getting away with it?

I feel like this is always going to be something that chases after WALTER no matter what, and it sucks.

WALTER and the original formation of Ringkampf (which means wrestling match) which also featured Ludwig/Marcel/Axel and Axel Tischer/Alexander Wolfe (you may remember from SANITY) and their gimmick on the indies has NEVER been Nazis, since they're german/austrians they would never do that, and all of them themselves are quite liberal/left leaning in their politics.

Now how WWE portrays them and how people take that is a different matter, and I always feel like with an american audience they are just going to take it as they're Nazis, WWE hasn't done WALTER any favours with the renaming of him to GUNTHER and aswell now having an Italian on the team (An Austrian, German and Italian on the team lads talk about being fucking on the nose) and obviously WWE will never actually say they're nazis, but I feel like WWE would be more than happy to lean into it, but no they aren't actual Nazis and the people behind the character themselves are very much not nazis.

im literally miserable we went from ✨️this✨️ to THAT

this is why i cant give my imperium bois time anymore bc theyre literally not imperium ive been bitter since alex's release even more so when they released tim and now that they called walter and marcel up without fabian it was like the straw that broke the camels back

until they leave wwe i straight up cant watch them bc what they were during their time in wXw germany and ringkampf is not what they are now its just a watered down version of imperium

if vince knew anything abt what imperium/ringkampf used to be he would have known that this could have been an unstoppable faction (in consideration to adding on fabian given alex's release)

wwe losing tim was such a dumbass move on their end and frankly i hope he eventually signs to aew bc seeing his performance in josh barnetts bloodsport 8 tim could be utilized way more in aew

wrestling edit challenge - day 03: match that you watch for comfort or match you could re-watch forever

progress chapter 62 - fear no more, come to dust: WALTER vs timothy thatcher for the atlas championship ↳ i've gushed about this match around here several times before. it's my comfort match. i love how it’s the perfect example of mat and chain wrestling, and how well tim and walter work together. i love how they play with psychology in it, tim, even though he is older, sees walter as his leader but is still worthy enough to fight for walter’s atlas title. they don’t hold back, they are wrestlers first and stable mates second. it's beautiful to see two best friends and stable mates beating one another to death, and how much they still respect each other in the end.
