@@dabellwrites6888 Seth Rollins worked his ass off to give that title prestige. He didn't get it to WWE Championship status, but he did make it look like a legit top title. Then the Rock and Roman Reigns cut a promo that made it look like a joke. Seth had tried and failed to beat Reigns for his title, so it really was a consolation prize. The WWE Champion will always be the number one belt in the company. But I believe Gunther will have a long reign that will get this version of the World Championship at least back to the level the Big Gold Belt World Championship in WWE used to be. Back when Triple H, Edge, Batista and others used to treat it like it was the most important title in the company. If Gunther had been standing there holding that belt when Roman Reigns and the Rock called it a consolation prize it wouldn't have had the same effect as it did with Seth. He hasn't lost to Reigns, it's believable that if he wanted the WWE Championship he would take it.
WWE needs a Cruiserweight belt again. It's too much fantasy seeing Sammy against giant heavyweights. Maybe for a one-off spectacle like Rey Mysterio, but not all the time
How is he killed? Longest reigning IC Champ. He had to drop the Mid card belt to become WHC. His only loss was Sammie. Sammie had a nice run. Gunther is going into Berlin the Ultimate Final Boss
The men lost to a jobber also Gunther I.C. title reign was really overrated because he beat nothing but a bunch of jobbers than after that he drops the title to a jobber how is that deserving for a world title he barely beat Orton at King of the Ring Gunther is good but he need to use the king of the ring as his gimmick because he is boring right now especially without Kaiser there as his personal announcer that's what he needs too
Rick Flair jobbed to everyone after his initial 16 championship win, although it's more like 21 but 5 title reigns aren't recognized. Cena should go undefeated on his farewell tour, until his "final" WM match.
Fans don't understand Vince Russo fought this way of programming when he became head writer. This philosphy nearly bankrupted Vince McMahon. He knows what hes talking about. He knows Heyman and Pritchards philosphy is all over the product and it makes less captivating tv.
Same with Bron Breakkkkkkker. Totally a different light on him now that he has lost to SZ and had to struggle for a while to eventually get a mid card title off him. Bron is already watered down more than 75% since his call to main roster.
Cena's last opponent will probably be Breakker if he gives the rub to a prodigy. If they go the other way, wanting a money match, then it'll probably be Punk.
I totally agree, Gunther losing clean to Zayn killed his momentum... he needed to face Rollins, IC vs WHC, winner take all, win it and relinquish the IC title the next Raw never taking a pin.
It did nothing to kill Gunther's momentum. He won the KOTR tournament, and then just got through winning the WHC. Just because things didn't go according to your fantasy booking(which btw, makes no sense), it doesn't mean Gunther's momentum was killed. He did just fine between now and dropping the IC title. The only real hiccup he experienced was at KOTR.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 Losing clean to a lower mid-card didn't kill his momentum? C'mon now... This is not my fantasy booking, it's what needed to be done to have Gunther get to the top at the peak of his potential. The KOTR didn't do much and (I think that's what you mean by 'hiccup') the botched ending really hurt. As for my idea not making sense, it's as simple as giving the wrestler with the best win/loss record on the roster the championship match, as it would be if it was not predetermined.
My IQ dropped 50 points and I am still smarter than Russo. Vince Russo. Seriously. You have been in the wrestling business doing something I dream of doing every day for years. Can you please learn something about it? I want you to look up the term shine. It does not mean to cover someone in baby oil. It means to enhance a talent. WWE shined up Gunther for 666 days. He was completely dominant and undefeated I believe. By the time he fought Sammi he was playing the arrogant Monster Heel who believes he is invincible Enter Sammi Zayne. The guy who was in multiple main events and went 20 rounds with Roman Reigns. One of the most dominant Champions in WWE history and damn near beat him The story of the match was the guy who refuses to die wears down the overconfident Heel Champion and wears him down at great cost to his body The loss meant jack shit to Gunther but it kept Sammi well in the mix until the Bloodline Civil War Maybe try to think longer than a single match.
Cool to hear that Apter was Mac's mentor. It would be quite incredible to have Apter or Russo as a mentor...for me, anyways as a wrestling & writing freak. They are rare gems in the wrestling industry and have a lot to share that cannot be duplicated. Most of the talent in the business I have eneded up meeting or seeking to learn from are those that dont turn out to be a quality person, or just who they are is not at all like their public persona. The real learning tree.
He's talking about the Sami Zayn run. C'mon. The thing is though, Russo is saying that Gunther becoming WWE WHC is too soon. And I agree. Gunther doesn't have a specific face or heel run. Nobody is chanting his name, yet. Drew had a rise in face run, it makes sense to put a WHC on him.
Yeah, but Gunther needed help from Finn Bálor. Jackie Redmond even asked Gunther backstage if his win was tainted. You're damn right! Gunther losing to Zayn clean, but couldn't defeat Priest by himself clean in middle of the ring? So much for the so called "Ring General".
50 50 booking kills strong character types.Gunther should have never lost to Sami Zayn at WM .Have him keep winning and be undefeated 💯 so when he takes on worthy challenge it means something 😂❤
What is so special about Gunther today compared to Cesaro back then? Both not good on the mic but Cesaro was more entertaining in the ring. Don't know why they push Gunther
Russo comes from the best era in wrestling ever hands down he knows a good product, he's just calling out a mid product for what it is People are blinded cuz today is better than the worst era in WWE history that doesn't make it good

He was smart to make the product edgier, I'll give him that but his writing was trash that we all liked because were teenagers at the time. You know something is shit when teenagers like it. lol
For a guy who says "the wrestling doesn't matter" he sure does care about wins and losses all of a sudden. If a single loss to a fan fav is enough to kill a guys push he wasn't ever getting into the top tier. Gunther will be fine. Russo is delusional as always.
Sami Zayn will never be Wwe Champion. The highest moment of his career is beating Gunther at Mania. Let the man have some joy. He's entertained us for many years. LET HIM HAVE SOMETHING Gunther bounced back with the King of the Ring & now he's Heavyweight Champion. He'll be fine
Gunther should've been humbled by Damion Priest tbh. make Gunther go on a losing streak where he isn't as dominate. I thought that was the story they was gonna tell. Make Gunther work harder to chase the championship instead of always winning holding the championship for a long time. I thought the story was to humble Gunther and let him claw his way back up to win the title as a heel. They should've did it that way.
Vince just said he doesn't like WWE because they became content creators and then as soon as he done saying it it goes right to a f****** add😂 what a joke 😭🤣
Gunther is a joke , a waste of space as a wrestler , no personality is just dull and boring , Im not a fan of him or his style , each to their own but so much better in the wwe to push and out a belt on
