This is what I am getting here. If they are born again Christians, that could be true but how does that change if they are still Neo Nazi's or not? There is nothing that has said they are not that anymore because they found a belief. Have they at anytime said this? Not from what I can see and that is something they should do more so no if they expect to run a company like TNA because other wise this touch topic and backlash on them will happen and TNA will not last under them because there will be to much backlash in a different light then how TNA gets now. That is not the attention any business would want and be honest TNA can not afford at this point or really any point.
Now I get it maybe different because outside the T Shirt backlash TNA got from viewers. I don't recall any wrestlers getting in fights over them on it and they still manage to get hired by WWE, WCW, and ext even though they had this from at less the DOA days I recall Tattoos showing up on them but still getting hired for no idea how being they never was anything special and not very good at anything.

The only thing these two ever had going for them was that they were big. That's it. Otherwise they were about as generic and boring a pair of hosses I've ever seen. Brought zilch to the table.
As for the disgusting Nazi imagery...wrestling itself is about as seedy a wasteland as you'll ever see. I suppose it may have help them that they were just another pair of freaks in a locker room filled with them. Maybe it helped them blend in.

I think a lot of the reason you don't hear about anything from other wrestlers about it is because in a working environment, you aren't going to say something unless the opportunity presents itself. If I showed up to work tomorrow and the new guy had a swastika on his head, I wouldn't say something unless he tried to bring it up to me. After all, I don't know this guy...maybe it's not who he is anymore. I expect the same thing from wrestlers. Most guys only care about how stiff you work. If I was Barry Horowitz and they decided to take liberties with me in the ring, that's when I would decide to speak up. I don't know if I'd say anything to the dude with the swastika on his head, but I would definitely have words with the idiot who hires him. |

So allegedly the story of them being fired from ECW is that they were showing off their SS tattoos to Raven who said that they should go show them to Heyman. Heyman's mum is a holocaust survivor IIRC so he didn't find them particularly impressive and shit canned them.
They also bragged about beating up Sandman because he had personal issues with them which I can only assume is because they're Nazi f***s.

I believe he mentions it in the My Name is Paul Heyman documentary a few years ago. It's even on his Wiki page. |

Instead of attacking them, he does something like that. Brilliant. Wonder what Heyman's reaction was? I'd love to have seen that. The best part is that the two idiots actually did it, and they probably thought Heyman would be impressed and like them . |

I assume he shitcanned them; they did an interview on the radio decrying ECW as hypocritical because Heyman tolerated a lot of drug users in the locker room. |

Because using drugs is totally the same as being neo-nazis. *Giant eyeroll* Them Big Twins aren't too bright, are they? |

They are the embodiment of the Nazi ideal

I think that the reason no one ever talks about their beliefs in shoots and so forth is that a) who would even think to talk about the Harris Brothers?(they're so inconsequential that they may as well have never existed.) b) who wants to waste time talking about the Harris Brothers? and c) damn they suck.

At one point in the early 90s Vince wanted Raven to work as one of the higher ups in WWF because he considered him to be one of the smartest people in the business. I think doing that instead of starting a brawl with these morons is a great example of how smart he is. |

Well, being a born again Christian doesn't automatically disqualify you from being a horrible racist.  |
