Sooooooooooooo "Gunther Stark" is the name they filed a trademark for. Yeah. Might not want google that name. So is it going be revealed Zoey is his sister and become the female member of Imperium? You know because NXT loves stables of four consisting of a lead singles guy, a tag team, and a woman.

I hope his new catchphrase is, “Welcome to the GUN Club” then Imperium starts dancing to EDM music that hits after he says it.

That's f***ing terrible.
Is it wrong that I'm HOPING he gets released now?

Walter is one of the least bad ass names out there in my view it’s just we have grown use to it. I’m sure he wouldn’t have finally make the jump to the States if he wasn’t sure they are going to use him right. I’m not going to start hating yet. But that's because WALTER is his actual first name, so he just took how plain his name was/the fact that he looks like a giant baby and used it to formulate his whole schtick of being the scariest guy in wrestling despite that. Gunther just sort of negates the whole point of it all.

Remember when we were worried that Von Wagoner was going to be his new name?

They should have his theme song start with "VAIT AND SEE" before the music starts.

I really don’t understand why they needed to change his name and why if they did need to change it, they have him yell it at the end of a match for some reason with zero build. Everyone knows the dudes name is Walter and it’s not like he’s come from a completely different promotion and never been called that in WWE, what possible reason would he have to change it to Gunther?!? I’d kind of get it if he was going to be called the Chancellor or some other title. But a name change to a lame name?!

Unless he’s going to now be managed by Vince & Bruce Prichard or something and become a corporate WWE shill changing his name just out of the blue like this ain’t going to work.
At this point WWE is just a front for depression.

Let’s leave aside the possible negative associations of his new name, or how good or bad his old and new names are: what is the point of this? He was one of the few NXT UK talents who had crossover appeal in the US, and who’d been on Raw and Smackdown, so he was a recognisable name, why would you change it? They even acknowledged that he’s got the link with Imperium, and I’m fairly sure they hyped his NXT 2.0 debut using his old name.
And that’s to say nothing for his debut segment establishing him as a dominant heel ends with him being chased down and beaten up by some faces.
What a clusterf***. I can’t remember the last time I wanted someone to leave the company so much.

He’ll be gone within a year because a 76 year old man and his cronies won’t “get him” when really they’re the ones who should be put to pasture.
Record profits.

I wonder if they could have compromised by doing something similar to when he went by Big Van Walter, surely they could have came up with a name that retained Walter but was still something WWE could own themselves.
