WALTER is a hilarious ring name. Boy, you better be a goon with a name like that He used to go by Big Van Walter. With a nod to arguably Wrestling greatest goon, he has no choice. The biggest goon this side of the Rhine, with a chin to match.

I’m hoping he does well so we don’t have the “WALTER is a bitch” thread in several months from now. "Valter is a Vitch".

Vladimir Kozlov is rolling(or dancing) in his grave and he ain't even dead yet.

Well I guess now that they've signed this guy maybe I'll find out whether he can do anything other than fifteen minutes of nasty chops. I've never seen him do anything else aside from a completely random submission.

I've never seen him do anything else aside from a completely random submission. He does have quite a varied arsenal of suplexes and a killer lariat, though I've not been particularly impressed with the admittedly limited number of matches I've seen, in which he's been kinda plodding.

Dude can bring the goods, I'm bummed he's with WWE and was hoping he'd pop up in other places, but if he wants to stay in Europe then the move makes sense for him.
Also, MAJOR points to anybody who uses New World Symphony as a theme song.

He’s so cool. Hitting people for real in a fake sport. Carny still exists.

I can't be the only one who keeps reading his name like the, "Wah tur, wah tur," bit from Human Centipede.

With his name being all-caps, does that mean announcers have to shout his name whenever they refer to him?

I just think “stiffing” someone in a form of entertainment that the fans know is fake and isn’t even presented as real by the promotions (most of them) is ridiculous. At least in the kayfabe days you could justify it somewhat (keeping kayfabe) but doing it now is just carny as hell. What purpose does it serve? A legit chop and a fake chop are looked at exactly the same way so why intentionally try to hurt someone?
Maybe it’s just me.

I get what you’re saying, and I agree it was taken to a ridiculous extent in some of his PWG matches. Dudes should not be leaving the ring with their chests bloody from a fake fight. With that said wrestling hurts and stiff shots are an effective way of making fans buy into the narrative and getting someone over. WWE isn’t going to let him chop people bloody, and if his opponents are cool with taking the hit what’s the big deal?

If the opponent has no problem with it, who gives a shit? Bryan loves when Roddy turns his chest to raw hamburger meat. And honestly, it's a cool visual.
