    It’s very refreshing to see a man who’s involved in such a competitive, ego driven endeavor, be so humble as he is…he embodies what is the lost art of professional wrestling today..believability and in ring psychology..you can tell he doesn’t like exposing the business, and although just by doing this interview alone, is kinda breaking “kayfabe” (if eye dare still use such a phrase) he still would rather uphold that said “kayfabe”..he is an old school wrestler through and through.. it’s great to see someone like this succeeding and receiving recognition for his work in todays wrestling landscape that is filled with a bunch of phony flippy kids who just wanna do spots for the cheap pop.. bravo GUNTHER bravo 👏🏽

    Not because Chris is killing it once again, but Gunther deserves a lot of respect. He was a bit shlubby a few years ago, but he worked hard and got into way better shape. He learned English to the point where he's very fluent. He's obviously worked on his craft. He's gone opposite of Will Osprey and moved to America to attain his goals. And he's been a great, dignified champ who hasn't made anyone pine for a new champ, as he's held the IC a long time. However, it's time to take those belts off of both Seth AND Roman, and one of them need to go to GUUNNNTTTTHHHHEERR!!
    We need a full heel champ. People actually like Roman.

    Gunther is the best wrestler on the current roster right now. Also notice how professional he is. He doesn't feel like he needs more or hasn't been given more at any point of time (such as people like Seth Rollins for instance). I love his professionalism and maturity.

    He made the intercontinental title mean something he made it the Intercontinental heavyweight title, he is more champion than Roman will ever be, the guy legit defends his championships, he has a horde but that horde doesn't interfare in matches, it makes him credible. Just an amazing person, amazing personality, amazing professional! Bless him! I can't weight for him to be World and Inter champ at the same time, will be so epic
