Gunther wearing a suit while holding the Intercontinental Championship title makes him look very presentable.
-
Won me over when he entered the Rumble at #1 and survived all the way to the end. That along with his weight loss and dedication to learn English. Love a guy who dedicates and works hard on their craft.
-
I can see him having HHH's job in 20 years, he has so much knowledge and knows what's best for wrestling
-
Seems like a genuine, nice, and humble guy loving his work. Thanks for this, Chris!
-
Was really looking forward to this conversation. As an Austrian, I am so happy and proud to see that Gunther, who is very respected in Austria and Germany, has been so successful and become the best wrestler in the world at the moment.
-
He has Elevated intercontinental title to next level, Long live Gunther 😎
-
I’ve seen him and Ludwig wrestle in Hamburg in front of 500 people and seeing how far he’s come is just absolutely incredible!
-
I'm surprised Gunther learned English around 2012 because he speaks really good
-
As Walter, he is the most down to earth dude. As Gunther, he's brutal and primal. WWE got a real one with this guy.
-
He's seriously one of the very few if not only one I would be convinced that he could be the one to end Roman's streak and still be the IC champ doing it
-
This made his promo battle with MIZ on RAW even better. They should air some off this on tv.
-
Gunther is the complete package. Amazing in ring, he honed his promo skills, elevates his opponent and just an epic overall presence.
-
When im watching a match with Gunther i feel like I'll miss something if i blink! He's definitely one of the best wrestlers right now. He needs to be world champion in 2024
-
GUNTHER is the person who had very right to say WRESTLING in WWE, He really look, speak, and move like real pro wrestlers.
-
Gunthers match at wrestlemania made me an instant fan of his. Great interview
-
Gunther is one of the best this generation has to offer. A supreme being, a master in the ring- a defending champion. Takes himself seriously, presents himself seriously. He is that GUY Also glad that his favorite defenses are Gable, Sheamus, & McIntyre.
-
This man looks great. I'm pretty sure he added 10 years to his life by dropping all that weight. He doesn't look like such a monster anymore but now we can focus on how darn great he is!
-
Gunther is my favorite modern day wrestler, I love how brutally honest he is lmao it's refreshing
-
Honestly one of the best wrestlers of this generation, and I hope WWE do all they can to keep hold of him. Very well spoken, perfect hard hitting style, and probably has the best moment of the night whenever he's on, definitely becoming an even bigger star Edit: also the guy went from being eliminated first at a survivor series and then to a questionable name change, alot of people would of taken that personally but he's owned it and excelled
-
He should be the face of the company. He brings the prestige back to wwe. Doesn’t go back the social media aspect and entertainer aspect. Just a damn good wrestler and promos 🥳❤️
