MJF is so good at what he does... and I absolutely cannot wait till Wardlow snaps and demolishes him.

AEW posted it with the **** in. Seems like someone yells something at Mox but I can't make it out.

https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2022/0 ... -trademarkWWE should have done a quick Google search before filing a trademark application to rename one of its wrestlers.
Austrian-born Walter Hahn has been the biggest star of WWE’s NXT UK brand since signing with the company in 2019, wrestling under the mononym Walter (often stylized as WALTER to emphasize his hard-hitting, intimidating nature). Earlier this month, he joined the stateside NXT brand, reuniting with Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel of his Imperium stable.
On Jan. 13, the same day that Walter’s final NXT UK match aired, WWE filed a trademark application for the ring name Gunther Stark. The filing flew under the radar until Louis Dangoor of British website Give Me Sport pointed out on Tuesday that just a few seconds of research was enough to find that “Gunther Stark” was the name of the commander of a Nazi U-boat sunk in the English Channel in 1944.
On Tuesday night, after winning his match against Roderick Strong, Walter announced that he would now be known as Gunther.
WWE is presumably smart enough to have dropped Walter’s new last name at the last second after its origins became publicized, but that isn’t the only Nazi-adjacent imagery Imperium has trafficked in recently. Last week, Barthel (who is from Germany) tweeted and deleted the phrase “IMPERIUM over everything,” according to German site Power Wrestling, a reference to the first verse of the German national anthem. Since the end of World War II, only the third verse of the song has been sung as the national anthem. The first two verses, and the first in particular, while not outlawed, are frowned upon, because of their ties to the Nazis.
Walter also tweeted the German word for invasion (“einmarsch”) with a photo of him beside Barthel and Aichner, who is from a German-speaking area of Italy. An Austrian guy talking about invading territory with a German and an Italian should rub people the wrong way.

Honestly, I dont even care if he ever wrestles, the interactions he can have are endless.Oh ****! I’ve never even see him wrestle but he’s so great.A very nice, very evil cameo during Dynamite's main event.
I assume once he's healthy something will happen with him and the Gunn ClubAss Boys. Their twitter/youtube interactions have been gold so far.

Supposedly everyone was OK after Dynamite but there were 3 or 4 bumps during that show that were legit scary. The above was actually the lesser of them.
There was a spot where Cody was on a ladder and Sammy dove off another ladder onto him and the ladder didn't give at all. Looked brutal. It was somewhat akin to the bump Kevin Owen's took through a ladder at MITB, except that one gave.
The bump Cole took on the finish of the main event was Gnarly as well. I'm sure they gimmicked the floor they fell through, but it didn't look anywhere near as fake as Jericho's fall off the cage. Pretty sure Cole's head/neck hit the "floor" pretty good.

Sammy is so damn good. Cody can be a touch annoying at times, but there is no doubt that he can bring it in the ring. I was a bit surprised when they had him beat Sammy at first, but we got the great match with Dustin (by happy accident) and this awesome ladder match so it worked out.
There are still things I don't get like the HFO, I mean AHFO? Just fire everyone involved into the sun already.
But they have done some masterful story telling with great payoff matches throughout so its getting easier to give them the benefit of the doubt when it doesn't involve people who are the drizzling shits anyway.
