Gunther (aka Walter) is one of the best exports from the black and gold brand in the UK. The Ring General was one of the longest reigning in the company’s history as a champion. However, he lost the title to Ilja Dragunov in TakeOver 36 after 870 days. Since then, he moved to the US and began working on his physique.
Vince McMahon was often a fan of well-built superstars, and Gunther worked on his physique for months before moving to the main roster. Speaking on 101 WRIF, the 35-year-old superstar spoke about his experience with the former CEO of the company:
McMahon was quite impressed with The Ring General’s dedication to the sport. It would have been interesting to see how Vince McMahon would have used him further on the main roster.
