Gunther has grown on me immensely. So much so that now “Walter” seems strange to me. When I read his name I hear it in either Kiasers voice or the ring announcers. Can’t imagine either of them saying “Walter” with the same gusto. This guy deserves everything he’s getting. Dude has put in the work. His physical transformation has been incredible.

Nobody realizes that Imperium is 💯 a Nazi gimmick. The three members are billed as being from Germany, Austria, and Italy. Their mannerisms in the ring are rigid and militaristic. The world Imperiumnis a Roman Latin word that refers to supreme authority. The only thing missing is a swastika and a Nazi Salute.

It is a fair point since the company wants to fully own the character so they will try to avoid you using your own name incase you ever do leave so they can keep the rights for merch and other avenues to use the character.

Also just works for legal stuff. When you get a name from WWE they actually own the trademark on it, so once you leave the company you can’t use that same name in other promotions without paying royalties. Since Walter is his legal name, it really only makes sense to have his ring name be something different to avoid copyright disputes

True, only a few ever got away with one name their entire career, not sure about the old wrestlers like Hogan or Randy Savage if they had a different name before WWE (during the territory days since I wasn't born yet), but I think the ones who got to stick with a single name was Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Orton, Goldberg, and some of the new stars like Roman Reigns.
