According to the Pottsville Mercury News, the man portraying the pro-Nazi wrestler Blitzkrieg is currently being investigated by the school district he works for.
Kevin Bean, the man who works as Blitzkrieg The German Juggernaut, is also employed as a teacher at Spring-Ford Intermediate School. The school district is conducting an internal investigation regarding Bean’s off-campus activities. Blitzkrieg’s entrance at a Quakertown wrestling event for World-Wide Wrestling Alliance was the subject of a recent viral video. The video (shared by Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin) showed him shouting “sieg heil!” while making the famous Nazi arm gesture and waving a flag bearing the Iron Cross, which was adopted as a Nazi symbol in the 1930s.
Erin Crew, spokeswoman for the school district, wrote in a emailed statement that the administration:
“was made aware of a video featuring an employee, outside of the school setting, participating in an amateur wrestling event. Once administrators were made aware of the video they acted immediately to conduct an ongoing internal investigation. As this is a personnel matter, further details will not be addressed publicly.”
“The actions portrayed in this video do not represent the core values of the school district. As an educational organization, we pride ourselves in providing a safe and nurturing learning environment.”
According to records; Bean has employed by Spring-Ford since 2004; The Mercury was unable to reach Bean for comment. The Blast recently published comments from WWWA owner Dino Sanna, who said Bean was a “good guy and not a hateful person.”
