King Blackie, Blitzkreig,....and Robbie E. Ask yourself, which one of these is the greater of three evils. I love that, in the midst of all these no-names and terrible gimmicks...Robbie E. And he probably isn't even their champ.

I definitely put this more on the bookers than the wrestler, but then teachers are held to a higher moral standard than average people. So maybe ask not to work a Nazi gimmick.

Iām falling out laughing at Wyndham James Winthorpe IIIās half-assed Union Jack on his sweater.
As for Nazi guy, the fact that anyone thought that this is a good idea in 2018 is kind of amazing.

I have been friends with Kevin since elementary school. I used to watch PPVs at his house. I was excited when he told me he was living his dream of becoming a wrestler. He has been doing this gimmick for over 10 years. Originally, it was WW1 oriented, hence the Iron Cross. I donāt know when he started getting more extreme with the salute and things. I know the recent pics and videos he posted before this became a story made me more and more uncomfortable. I donāt know if he made a poor choice to draw heat, was pushed into it, or people misunderstood the gimmick and he ran with it.
I know itās cliche, but he is a nice guy and a well-regarded teacher. He has a wife and baby daughter. I hope he keeps his job and is able to continue wrestling, but with a different gimmick. Itās bizarre seeing a friend become a national news story. It hurts to see people online judge him and call him all sorts of things. He and his wife had to delete their Facebook profiles. All in all itās a mess, but friendship aside he should have known better and not put himself into this predicament.
As an aside, the comment section in the local news media are cracking me up. People criticize wrestling because āitās fakeā, but now many are defending him by saying āitās fakeā and he is only playing a character like Nazis in the movies.

I donāt think anybody here thinks the guy is a white supremacist, but we all think he is an idiot for portraying it, and so is the booker for running it. Hope this all blows over for him.

I appreciate it and agree. He put himself in this position. I made the mistake of reading the twitter comments under Satinās post. That was where the worse stuff was. This community, of course, is smart and thoughtful, and made me laugh about it for the first time.

I hold teachers to a higher standard of understanding history, and recognising why open displaying of Nazi imagery can be so reckless. If it wasn't for that, I'd have no issue with the guy moonlighting as a wrestler. But it's so disturbing to read about kids in his class allegedly cheering him on in spite of what he's representing himself as (even assuming he doesn't have personal Nazi beliefs).

Assuming it's the same guy, King Kaluha has been around the indies for a LONG time.

I for one, am not shocked, that a Nazi gimmick got over as a babyface in Boyertown, PA. In other news, is Zerns still selling Nazi memorabilia?

Not sure about that, but Zerns,which serves as the WWWAās home base, is closing in September. Not sure if they will run out of Quakertown or another spot.

Vince McMahon was horrified at a writer proposing a Nazi themed wrestler. Vince McMahon.THAT SHOULD SAY SOMETHING, ANY OTHER WRESTLING PROMOTER. Vince would tell them that clearly the Japanese are a much better target for outdated WWII propaganda gimmicks.

Had no idea WWWA was still running. I think they peaked back in 1994 when they ran Atlantic City and called their show The Brawl at the Taj Mahal. Such a great name. I remember commercials constantly running for it. The two big things coming out of that show were Brutus Beefcake defeating Nailz for their top title and Tito Santana fighting Sid Vicious in Sidās first appearance since his stabbing incident with Arn Anderson.
