Have any wrestlers or bookers or anyone else in the business ever discussed them and their nazi tattoos? For being a pair of dudes that were in every major US company for some awful reason, you don't hear a lot about them. They have (had?) SS tattoos displayed prominently on their arms. There's the time one of them wore the SS shirt. What else is there on this?

How did they keep getting hired is what I want to know. It's not like they were mega-talents or huge draws that would offset their disgusting beliefs. Why did promoters keep bringing them in-I can't imagine that being a good PR move.

Making their inclusion in the "Gang Wars" of mid 90s WWE all the more cringe worthy.
According to Wikipedia one of them used to be a cop (yikes)

You just don't understand the shades of grey, bro. They're not bad guys, bro. They're not good guys, bro. I swear on my Mudda's god damn grave, they're THE guys, bro!

They're huge, well...neo-nazi looking twins, I can easily imagine a promoter seeing money in that as a heel team, especially back then.

Think it's well and beyond the gimmick to work wearing an SS shirt.
Correct me if I'm wrong but them boys tattoos are also nazi related. I think I saw an eagle and 88 (for heil hitler)

Why are they never called out by other workers? Why did they have continuous employment? If anyone could find me any interviews or quotes concerning these two I'd really appreciate it.

But it could have to do with a lot of people who work in this business, or who did work in this business not having the most enlightened views.

No joke or nothing but I met 10 people in my life who had at least one Nazi tattoo and 6 of them did it for the lulz. Three of them I'm not sure and one of them is a definite Neo Nazi.
But that one I'm sure was a definite Neo Nazi was a Co Worker of mine and worked with everyone equally. Funny story he got his license suspended for a DUI and he was one of the more senior guys and the new kid who is black lived near by him and he would car pool with him. He covered all his Nazi tattoos including the swastika on his head with a hat. When he quit his job we were all surprised the black guy didn't know he was a Nazi but the black kid was more surprised than us for the fact he was a Neo Nazi.
I'm guessing it's a Dick Murdock situation when he was a card carrying member of the KKK and is a massive racist, but he doesn't bring that behavior to work and is willing to work with anyone for money and maintaining a sense of professionalism. Racists are willing to always put aside differences from the workplace if money is made or they can benefit in some way. It's like how some Aryan Gangs are allied with some Cartels or Black Gangs, etc.

Maybe it's a case of "Why risk talking about it when I work for a different company", "I'm not going to stir that shitpot" or "It's not worth risking a shiv in my kidney to talk about it" or very possibly "Wait, why do you want to talk about the @$^%$@% Harris Twins?"

Why did they have continuous employment? If anyone could find me any interviews or quotes concerning these two I'd really appreciate it. Maybe the tattoos were after they worked in the big companies, I don't think Heyman would've employed neo nazis knowingly, but then again he would do anything for a buck.
Ludvig Borga also had similar tattoos, but the wwf made him cover them up.
I think that the only way they kept employment was because they were close to guys in power, like Taker and Jarrett. Kinda wish that Bad News Brown had retired ten years later, so he could've cross paths with those pricks...I think we all know how that would've turned out. Bad News wasn't to be f***ed with.

I love the fact that Bad News Brown became a security guard in a mall after he retired. Scariest Mall Cop in the world and of all time.

Well, I can tell y ou that back in the day they were, um, politely asked to leave the ECW locker room by a, shall we say, displeased Raven and, um, dis-sobered Sandman. Then New Jack got involved, and they (wisely) departed. Seems they showed up showing off the brand new SS tats, very proud of them, and it went over about as well as expected.
Top it all off, just read that the twins are the owners of the company that wants to buy TNA, so...yeah.

I've been founding out after he died that he may have been the baddest man in history. f*** in his later years he actually trained mma fighters, like the Polish Experiment Kristoff Sozynski. Bad News would've been a ufc champ if he lived in this era.

Getting silver in Judo in the Olympics ain't an easy task, and he was quite clearly on most people's "do not f*** with" list for a reason. By all accounts a fine and proud human being, but you did NOT cross him.
