Finally sat down and watched NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff from 2019. Every match was pretty good, but holy hell Walter Vs. Tyler Bate was an absolute banger of a match. 45 minutes of great wrestling. Side Note: I cannot stand Peacock. The state WWE Network was in right before they sold it was great imo. One of my favourite matches of all time. In fact might go back and watch ot right now.

They seriously changed WALTERs name to Gunther, the f'n barista from Friends. Im convinced Vince is trying to just tank the product at this point.

One hand, ing stupid to change his name. Other hand, it’s been confirmed many times that talent pick their new names, so dude decided to have a Nazi name. Big oof all around.

Even if it was his idea, the company had an obligation to do extensive research (or just use a freaking Google machine) at some point in their trademark process, which they did file for "Gunther Stark". Either they were completely incompetent, they didn't care enough to look out for him, or it was 100% done on purpose. I don't know how any spin can be placed to twist this into a positive story.

With the amount of backlash they will either change it back to WALTER and act like it never happened, just call him GUNTHER and hope it flies, or release him like they did with Hassan.
This company is ass backwards

Mind you, this is the same company that pulled the plug on Ali's angle which looked to focus on racial profiling and discrimination.

Yeah it's stupid and it might have been forgivable if they done it years ago when he first signed, but at the end of the day it's just a name, and it's not exactly Doudrop levels of bad.

It scares me that there's a legitimate argument that naming the dude after a Nazi isn't even the worst gimmick they made this week. Poor Sarray.

What last name? He's not got one. He announced himself as Gunther. Nothing else.

He could just be going by one name, that is their tradition anyway. Haven't checked their site to see if any change has been made yet.Check that, he is officially Gunther, just saw new report.
