History Wrestling / Walter

** Schadenfreude, with CCK[[note]]Chris Brookes, Jonathan Gresham, Kid Lykos[[/note]], Aussie Open[[note]]Kyle Fletcher, Mark Davis[[/note]], Lucky Kid and Timothy Thatcher.

* TheQuietOne: He barely speaks a word, preferring instead to let his ring work speak for him. Best exemplified in [[https://www.cagematch.net/?id=93&nr=145 a promo]] with Wrestling/ColtCabana for ''Rings of Europe''[='=]s ''November Classic'' event, where Colt speaks most of it while WALTER has only two lines: ''"I have to say something, right?"'' and ''"I know"''. Colt finishes it saying "You are a promo god".

** While the stable itself never made it to Defiant,[[note]]What with Marcel Barthel and Timothy Thatcher being under WWE contracts preventing them from appearing in the promotion.[[/note]] his entrance graphics still references his PowerStable in wXw, Ringkampf.

* MusicToInvadePolandTo: Or at least, to invade the ring to. His theme music (Dvorak's Symphony no. 9) is very martial-sounding.

** In ''NXT UK'', since Ringkampf is nowhere to be seen and the 'E usually sweeps away any indie reference from its wrestlers, it's instead a greatcoat resembling the one worn by Napoleon Bonaparte.

* FinishingMove: A sleeper hold called "Gojira Clutch", a lariat, and a pumphandle powerbomb called "Golden Bomb". When both of these reliable old soldiers failed to put away Wrestling/PeteDunne at ''NXT [=TakeOver=]: New York'', WALTER improvised a new finishing sequence on the spot: a top rope jackknife powerbomb transitioned into the most ''terrifying'' frog splash ever witnessed by man.

* FinishingMove: A sleeper hold called "Gojira Clutch", a lariat, and a pumphandle powerbomb called "Golden Bomb".

* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: At NXT [=TakeOver=]: New York he defeated [[Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle Pete Dunne's]] 685 long day reign as WWE UK Champion.

Among his accolades, he's 1x [[Wrestling/DefiantWrestling Defiant Internet Champion]], 1x EWP Tag Team Champion (with Michael Kovac), 1x GSW Tag Team Champion (with Robert Dreissker), 1x OTT Champion, 2x [[Wrestling/PROGRESSWrestling PROGRESS Atlas Champion]], 1x PROGRESS World Champion, 1x PWF North-European Champion, 1x [[Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla PWG World Champion]], 3x wXw Unified World Wrestling Champion, 3x wXw World Tag Team Champion (1x with Robert Dreissker, 1x Zack Sabre Jr., and 1x Timothy Thatcher), and win Fight Club: PRO's Infinity Trophy, wXw's World Tag Team Tournament (with Zack Sabre Jr.), World Tag Team League (with Timothy Thatcher) and 2010's 16 Carat Gold Tournament, and was ranked at #77 of the top 500 singles wrestlers in the PWI 500 in 2018.

** Travis Banks in ''Wrestling/PROGRESSWrestling''. WALTER ''really'' wants that belt. He finally got it at Chapter 74.
** David Starr in ''Wrestling/DefiantWrestling''.

* BookEnds: His run with the ''Defiant Internet Title'' starts with him defeating two departing wrestlers (Travis Banks -to WWE- and Zack Sabre Jr. -due to schedule conflicts with New Japan-) and ends with him being the departing one (to WWE), losing it at the hands of Martin Kirby.

** His duels against David Starr in ''Defiant Wrestling'' reference the fact that Starr was [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter NEVER]] able to beat him at ''wXw''.
** While the stable itself never made it to ''Defiant''[[note]]What with Marcel Barthel and Timothy Thatcher being under WWE contracts preventing them from appearing in the promotion.[[/note]], his Titantron still references his PowerStable in ''wXw'', Ringkampf.

* PassingTheTorch: Was on both ends of this during his time as ''Wrestling/DefiantWrestling''[='=]s Internet Champion. The first was a triple threat involving him, then champion Wrestling/TravisBanks (who was departing to WWE) and previous champion Wrestling/ZackSabreJr (who had to relinquish it several months earlier due to his commitments to NJPW) who competed under the rematch clause. At the end of his run, he was the departing one to WWE, and lost the Title at the hands of Martin Kirby.

* SeriousBusiness: Becoming the ''PROGRESS World Champion'' is this for him, so much so that when Banks stated that WALTER would not be allowed another title shot as long as he was the Atlas Champion, WALTER ''instantly'' stepped down as champion.

** Catch Hoolz, with Terry Frazier, Sha Samuels, Jon Ryan, Sami Callihan and Tatsuhito Takaiwa.
