They're gonna give him the Gunther name......it's literally a Nazi commander name...jesus christ. For however many years he was there, during every appearance he ever made in TNA, any time Gunner came out, I would say "GUNTHER." Now 12 years later we finally have someone named Gunther so I said "GUNNER?!?" I wasn't jesusing you, by the way, I just can't believe they went through with it after all the blowback.

They literally can’t leave anything alone. Anything. Gunther?! Really? Making Sarray into a Sailor Moon ripoff? Unreal.

Already they have screwed this up

Never mind that the trademark could be a coincidence and that it's very unlikely they go the Frozen Undead Nazi route two decades after Vince refused to go that route....

I guess the end of the show was Diamond Mine's official face turn? But who really knows with this show.

They were already taking flack for running something called the Elimination chamber in Saudi to the point that Meltzer made a joke about it that was pretty accurate... In the matter of a week they made a bunch of Jews super pissed and Peter Rosenberg of all people was doing damage control when he's Jewish.

Words cannot describe how much of a downgrade GUNTHER is over WALTER Already they have screwed this up Change for the sake of change. The name itself, lateral move. It’d be the same if he went from GUNTHER and we were all used to that, to WALTER.

Maybe Walter is just transferring to Business School

I hope in a week's time Vince uses his short-term memory loss and forgets this name change.
I initially thought I heard him wrong... and then I saw the comments in the thread and googled. What the heck.

It’d be the same if he went from GUNTHER and we were all used to that, to WALTER. That's a reach tbh, GUNTHER just doesn't sound as cool. WALTER rolls off the tongue better and frankly just sounds more intimidating going with the wrestler it's going with. Not a fan of this, and I don't think the sentiment of "Eh it's just change, it would be the same if it was the other way around" tracks entirely.

So i guess Usa network has rights to the Accountant now and i thought we would escape that We need a new Affleck movie to lead into wrestling...I vote...Armageddon. Remember the scene where Affleck sticks the Animal Crackers in Liv Tyler's underwear? Mandy Rose WISHES she could be that sexy.

Even if it was a coincidence don’t you think they would have done research to make sure thete wasn’t a problem because that isn one hell of a coincidence

A pretty good NXT. I liked most of it. Fun opening segment with LA Knight, Grayson Waller, & Dexter Lumis. Dexter Lumis VS Grayson Waller was an awesome match. I was not expecting Suarav to appear on NXT before his former partner, Veer Mahaan came to Raw. I love the segment to set-up WALTER VS Roderick Strong for later. I love all of the teams in the Dusty Classic, so it should be a fun tournament. Since he’s a “Free Agent”, maybe Cody Rhodes can present the trophy to the winning team. Good segment with MSK & Legado Del Fantasma to hint at a Semi-Final Match between them. Briggs & Jensen VS The Creed Brothers was a great match. It really showcased both teams. Cool video on Dante Chen. After that great video, instead of showcasing Chen, they end his match with Guru Raaj in a No Contest with Duke Hudson attacked both men. If they want to do a feud between Chen & Hudson, they could have had Chen win first. Stupid segment with Harland & Joe Gacy & Odyssey Jones, though Jones VS Harland could be good. Good segment to tease Bron Breakker VS Santos Escobar as Breakker’s 1st feud as NXT Champion. I love NXT. There are no faces or heels. Everyone wants to be Champion no matter who's Champion. Why can't the main roster be like this? Fun segment with Tony D’Angelo, Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams, & Cameron Grimes. Stupid segment with Brooks & Jensen, Kayden Carter & Kacy Catanzaro, & Wendy Choo. Again, they showed the Car Shield Commercial. They shouldn’t be showing one of their top stars getting beat up by someone who should be banned from wrestling. Cool video on Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon, though they have been a tag team for months on 205 Live. Again, showing that 205 Live doesn't matter. If WWE Creative doesn't care about it, then why should the fans that watch it every week? Weird Dakota Kai promo. I thought that Kay Lee Ray VS Ivy Nile was going to be a squash for Ray since she’s Mandy Rose’s next challenger & Nile didn’t get an entrance, but it wasn’t. I didn’t like the distraction finish though. I liked the brawl with Toxic Attraction, Kay Lee Ray, Indi Hartwell, & Persia Pirotta, again showing that there are no more faces & heels in NXT. Horrible Sarray promo, now with the stereotypical Anime character. Why does everyone have to have stupid gimmicks? This isn’t the 90s. Why can’t she just be a good wrestler? Malik Blade & Edris Enofe VS Legado Del Fantasma was a horrible match. More stupid distraction finishes. And what’s the point of teasing MSK VS LDF if it’s not going to happen. This show is going downhill. Good promo by Malcolm Bivens. Excellent promo by Solo Sikoa. Yulisa Leon VS Dakota Kai was OK. Leon did good in her 1st ever Singles Match on NXT, especially the Fallaway Slam. Solid segment with Raquel Gonzalez & Cora Jade. They could be a fun team in the Dusty Classic. Next week’s NXT looks like it will be a fun show except for the musical performance from someone that I don’t know. Roderick Strong VS WALTER was incredible. The brawl at the end with The Diamond Mine & Imperium was amazing, but did WALTER say to call him Gunther. They are really going to change his name to a bad person (I can’t say who he is because I think you get banned for saying that word associated with Germany.) Why do they have to ruin a great character by giving him a stupid name? This is the end of NXT. Vince McMahon needs to get the hell out of NXT. He just destroyed it. Here are the Facts & Stats for NXT

Mandy Rose WISHES she could be that sexy. Well they could just base it off his character on the movie they always show on USA... The Accountant. An autistic hitman. I see it fitting in perfectly on NXT 2.0.

something I just realized: after that segment tonight, I want Petey Poppins vs. Tony D in a casket match.
