"Questionable imagery" my ass. The SS symbol is the most prolific Nazi symbol after the swastika.
Stop f***ing whitewashing this because the guy did cool tombstone piledrivers.
Swastika is one thing, the SS symbol is not nearly as recognizable to people. And I’d appreciate not being chastised and attacked personally. I have no problem calling wrestlers I enjoyed out for their personal issues when their views have been made clear as day (Hogan, Warrior, Jericho, etc.). I don't know exactly when that pic was, but I think it was mid to late 90s, right? By that point Mark has shared a locker room with Paul Heyman and Raven, probably the 2 most likely Jewish people in the locker room of that era to tell you exactly why that shirt is awful, and Kevin Nash, who isn't Jewish but is interested enough in the culture that he manages to remind Jewish wrestlers when holidays are if they forgot, and is also certainly not afraid to talk to Mark on an even footing about anything.

I now have a mental image of Nash saying "Shana Tova!" to Jewish wrestlers in the locker room during the high holidays.

He also likely shared a locker room with Ludvig Borga and The Harris Twins. Three guys that not only knew what the SS symbol was but proudly sported it. Yeah, you can miss me with that "he didn't know what it meant!" excuse.

Ugh. What a disgusting person Taker is. Funny how Taker stole his biker gimmick from two of his fellow Nazi co-workers.

It's wild reading people talking about the popularity of symbols that are legally banned from public here.

Who knows about Taker, but while pretty much everybody recognizes the swastika, I definitely know people who wouldn't know what SS represents. Most people have a good idea what it means. It's just as recognizable as the swastika.

I made Kevin Nash mad, once. An unintentionally hilarious picture ensued.
