5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (July 27)
1. Nazi Punks F*ck Off
News broke recently of a racist sullying the wrestling world recently. No, it wasn't Hulk Hogan, but a fringe Independent chancer by the name of Blitzkrieg The German Juggernaut, whose appearance at a Pennsylvania show caused much controversy. He entered the World Wide Wrestling Alliance (what a pitiful load of bullsh*t that name is, incidentally) ring shouting "Sieg Heil", flying a flag bearing the Iron Cross.
In years gone by, the "German" heel was a wrestling staple, as the likes of Hans Schmidt and Fritz Von Erich capitalised on the residual sentiment from World War II to draw heat. The character died out as the world changed, and wrestling became more progressive. That's not true, of course; promoters simply booked foreign menaces in accordance with the shifting geopolitical climate, ushering in Russians and booking (Italian-American) Arab-Americans to draw slack-jawed "USA!" chants from their paying public.
Sadly, with the world the way it is in 2018, the German Juggernaut actually had fans in attendance. One even brought a sign to the show. He was a young boy...and the guy may have taught him actual lessons in his capacity as a f*cking schoolteacher. But happily, this dipsh*t was foiled, and is currently under investigation by his school district.
When even Vince McMahon once rejected a nazi wrestler pitch out of hand, you know you're dealing with the lowest of the low.
If you're reading this with an eye-rolling "It's just heel heat, Jesus, actors play Nazis in movies," consider that you probably actually hate Roman Reigns, or Vince McMahon, or Dave Meltzer, so it's not as if the typical wrestling fan, your writer included, is truly able to separate fact from fiction.
