#HMBlog: Largo: Dude heckles German wrestler at a WWE NXT event with a certain salute & the Internet reacts as you think they would.
WWE NXT’s Marcel Barthel who I am told is in fact not a Nazi but only looks like one.
I watched wrestling when I was a youngster. I survived the WWF’s Attitude era for God’s sake. Things are different though now, Donald Trump is the President & everyone is racist and stuff so people tend to be a little more sensitive these days. Marcel Barthel is a wrestler for WWE NXT which I guess is like the minor leagues of wrestling. He is not a Nazi I am told and only looks a bit like one. This past Saturday WWE NXT held their show at Minnreg Hall in Largo and some doofus threw up the Nazi salute at him as he entered the ring. This obviously went over as good as a fart in church and people got pissed, including Marcel who demanded the guy be thrown out. Other people took to Twitter (of course) to virtue signal their dismay:
So, yea, what an idiot. I don’t know what is in this dudes heart but if I had to bet, I would go with it was a joke that didn’t land and he was just messing around. There will be some people out there though that will reach the conclusion that this man is an actual Nazi and we should punch Nazi’s (or at least throw milkshakes at them as some irresponsible journalists have advocated for). So this poor moron’s face is all over the internet now (yes, this blog is part of the problem but shrug emoji) and I hope he doesn’t get murdered for his dumb joke but I guess that would make me a Nazi sympathizer & apologist…
