I wonder how soon before Swagger and Coulter decide to pay homage to Nikolai Volkoff and sing the national anthem off key.

I don't think he's got the stones to outright besmirch it. However, I barely expected this current gimmick from WWE, so it may be more possible than I think.

So since it was Nashville I take it they got the name Colter from singer Jessi Colter who was married to Waylon Jennings who lived in Nashville when he blew up which is close to where Dutch is from and took place around the same time he was around his 20's. Nope, apparently they did get it from Ann Coulter, then just changed the name. I didn't get a good look at first and initially thought it was Brad Maddox in fake whiskers, then during the post-match promo I looked and immediately thought "Dutch?". I was pretty sure that promo would get complaints (since everyone is incredibly sensitive towards racism), but it looks like it didn't. I thought it was Braddox in disguise too!

Speaking of Col. Robert Parker/Tennessee Lee (as some of you have), if memory serves he used to team with and later manager the man who played Jack Swagger's dad (Jimmy Golden/Bunkhouse Buck). I think they're also cousins, or at least related somehow.

I don't think he's got the stones to outright besmirch it. Vince only fired Finlay because one of the national guard that was invited got angered that they had the Miz interrupt it. Not because Finlay suggested it at all.

Back to my earliest days of watching wrestling, Dutch was the lead heel in the Gulas territory for a period where he feuded with this rising babyface named Randy Savage. I've liked him ever since.
I was in Puerto Rico sometime in the late 1990s and there was wrestling on TV constantly. And who do I find heeling it up in the main event? Dirty Dutch, of course -- he was also lead booker I find out later.
Ran into him in person a couple of years ago hocking books and autographs on the concourse at an ROH show in Atlanta day before WM. I spent a bit of time chatting with him and he had some great stories -- then the lights flashed or something to indicate the show was about to start. i told him I'd be back during intermission to get his book. I came back as I said I would and he said, "Wait, don't tell me -- your name is xxx and you're from xxxx." (He got both right.) He said he liked to try to remember names and hometowns as sort of a brain exercise to test out his brain cells, making a light comment on all the concussions he had taken during his career. Needless to say, I bought the book (Tales from a Dirty Road or something like that, great read) and he also threw in an autographed photo. Left with the impression that he's truly a great guy.
So of course I'm extremely happy to see him back in WWE picking up a paycheck and trying to elevate Jack Swagger as Jack's mouthpiece.

Remember the West Texas Rednecks in WCW? They were supposed to be the bad guys because they hated rap. The problem was that most of their live audience hated rap. Without getting too into it, I see a lot of potential parallels, and the backlash they might get for a guy saying he fears 'people who don't look like him' getting cheers could make Muhammad Hassan look like child's play. PS: This video from WWE lists Zeb's last name as Colter, not Coulter.
