GUNTHER Discusses His Commitment To The Integrity Of Professional Wrestling

Gunther, currently in the midst of a legendary and historic reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion, recently discussed the significance of the title’s legacy and his determination to elevate the sport’s prestige in a new interview with Contralona. Here are some notable highlights:

On the legacy of the Intercontinental Championship: “It is very important obviously. I take great pride in doing it. It might be to the title legacy but also building my own legacy. It’s been a big responsibility so far but also a great experience, I am really enjoying it and I put all my effort into that, all the energy that I have. So far, like I said, it’s been a great ride, let’s see how far we can go with it”.

On upholding the integrity of professional wrestling as a sport: “I want to be the guy that raises the bar of how serious our sports gets taken to a highest possible level, and I think that with Intercontinental Championship, I will be able to raise the bar again, as it was down for a while, but I’ve always done that with title runs outside WWE or even in NXT UK. I care about this sport a lot; I think I care about it more than most of the colleagues out there and that’s what I want to deliver in the ring. I would say that I am almost a very selfless guy because all my energy goes into keeping the standards of this sport up and everybody benefits from them.”

GUNTHER is now just 48 days away from breaking Honky Tonk Man’s record for the longest reign, but he will face perhaps his biggest roadblock yet in former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam.
