    Give this video a like as big as a Gunther CHOP!👍
  • @jordanfuller7211
    This is the most lively I've seen Gunther in an interview before. Good job Chris
  • @BlanketBCSociety
    Definitely one of the nicest, most down to earth individuals on the roster. Such a great wrestling technician. One of my faves!
  • @kaeso101
    Full credit and respect to Gunther for rescuing the IC title from the dark ages ❤❤
  • @not_ian5543
    Legit one of my favorite wrestlers right now. Most of us hated the named change back then, until he started putting on bangers and everyone kinda forgot about it.
  • @PunjabiPiccolo
    It's funny how what you prefer from your entertainment changes as your grow older. As a kid, I was obsessed with crazy spots and aerial moves. Now that I'm older, those things just make me cringe out of fear of injury for the wrestlers. Now, I love the storytelling elements, the psychology and overall mat wrestling. Gunther embodies these elements. His matches keep me captivated. I still can't get over how good that Mania triple threat match was. His recent match with Gable was fantastic too. Even though he's a heel, I'm cheering for this guy! He deserves everything he's got and more. Can't wait to see how the rest of his career unfolds 💯
  • @TheOnlyTMEOfficial
    He seems like such a respectful & nice guy. A perfect wrestler. Hope he beats the record tbh. He deserves it for bringing prestige back to the Intercontinental title.
  • @ooahooah7489
    "At the moment this is one of the most prestigious championships at the moment." No. It is THE most prestigious, and for that Gunther, we absolutely thank you.
  • @cammackk
    In an age of captivating and complex sequences of acrobatic and very choreographed moves, Gunther has managed to feel special and standout without any of that, there is beauty in the simplicity of his work, I can't put it to words but you have to admit his matches feel different to others
  • @SamoaJoeR.E.A.L
    Gunther is one of the only current male wrestlers in WWE I actually really like right now. He just has an aura to him that makes him such a joy to watch, especially the way he carries himself in and out of the ring! Definitely a future world champ in my eyes! 💪
  • @BrentMan88
    Gunther putting over Samantha Irvin was beautiful to hear. He said all facts, too! Gunther is probably my favorite WWE interview rn. Nice clip, CVC!
  • @ErnieJ89
    Love what Gunther is doing for the IC title. A proper champ
  • @smellywaffels1967
    He always comes off as so humble and nice. I’m glad for his success I’ve been watching him before he joined NXT UK. He’s one of if not the best wrestler on the planet.
  • @LordYuriX
    I've really used to hate Gunther, mostly for his wrestling style and over-use of chops, which amplifies his cocky character a lot. However that changed after seeing a couple interviews of him. The guy is wholesome, well-mannered, polite and honest that it's simply impossible to dislike him. It just proves how much talented performer he is 👏
  • @ronswanson9853
    Wow Gunther’s weight loss story is really inspirational
  • @hugo.nieves787
    How he Carries himself, how respectful he is when he speaks. Never treats himself or his persona like he's worth more. He just delivers amazing matches. Nobody deserves to break the record more than The Ring General 🔥
  • @christianhafer9819
    I love that he refers to the Intercontinental title as the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship just like Macho Man did. Big Gunther fan. Great interview, Chris!
  • @GUNTHER_AUT
    THANK YOU CHRIS FOR HAVING ME, INTERVIEW VERY NICE
