Probably controversial opinion, as people forget the past, but: If we are speaking quality of matches? Yes, for sure. If we are speaking about giving prestige and meaning to the title, I feel Randy Savage is the still the best ever at that.
This guy has to be the model pro wrestlers should aspire to nowadays. Works hard, team player and one hell of an in ring performer. Every match he has is a top quality match, he's so good he makes his opponent look good at the same time. Must be a dream to work with. What a talent Gunther is
@@shoeplayisbad1 so close 🤌, a comedic character like Honky Tonk Man had to stop holding that record in order for that title to officially have great prestige
My top two guys right now are Gunther and LA Knight. I watch Gunther for his in ring prowess which is second to none. Been watching him since NXT UK and it's just fantastic seeing this run he's going on. Can't wait for him to get a world title. Loving LA Knight for his mic work which is second to none. YEAH.
L.A. Night though is just good on the mic, as a wrestler he's a bit poor and his fights are bad, Ghunter on the other hand is good as a character and fantastic as a wrestler and his fights are always spectacular, in the main event would be really exciting
I see Gunther being the successor to the Undertaker in the locker room. Very humble outside the ring, talks about who he’d like to work with, and speaks highly of all the talent.
Love this guy, charismatic and his abilities on the mic and in the ring are amazing. He adapted very well with the weight loss, made it work with a new name and still kept his presence. Gunther is a certified G, he has everything you need for a great wrestler. Y2J, Gunther and The Miz are my top IC champions.
I don't really follow him or have seen any of his matches but I'm really surprised how well spoken he is and how humble he appears. May have gotten himself a future fan in me just from that alone.
Unlike Keith Lee, Gunther didn't complain about being told to loose weight and the name change. He took it with stride and dignity and did as he was told and look at where he is. A future world champion right here. The ring general Gunther
Ya know at time of his release, Keith Lee was recovering from a serious heart condition which prevented him from exercising for a long period? Not fair to compare the two
I barely watch any modern Pro Wrestling. But i remember seeing Walter (Gunther now) on the German indies back in the late 2000s. He called himself Big Van Walter, as a nod to Vader and he looked incredibly big and heavy and just looked like someone who would eat you for lunch. And he also is someone who takes Wrestling very seriously, something that i really don't see from alot of Wrestlers these days. I am very happy That Walter got this far and i hope that he will win the big one before he retires.
Michael Cole totally gave away the ending to his Summerslam match by saying how its only a short while until he beats Honky Tonk's record. As soon as he said that, I knew Gunther was winning.
I think Gunther just screams oh oh ok then Wailter in my opinion I think WWE did a Well deserved name change because I love the name Gunther it is so different to any other names out there and WWE did a great job with naming Walter Gunther I love it and Imperium I love Ludwig and Giovanni they are such great talent and yeah I love all 3 members of Imperium such a great name for a Destructive group with Gunther Giovanni and Ludwig I love you guys and yeah that’s all I have to say
Gunther is the best in the world right now , doesn’t even need help to win his matches, which is rare for a heel , most heels these days have someone help them win there matches or cheat to win , Gunther is on another level of greatness.
Question, I thought the WWE brought back the old WWF Intercontinental belt like 7-8 years back. I remember seeing Miz rocking it. Did they trash it in place of this one? Something I def. missed out on seeing changed. Work a lot don't get to tune in as much
you havent watched in quite a few years? I can't quite remember exactly how many years ago, but when shinsuke nakamura had it, that's when the design changed to what it is now when sami zayne presented shinsuke nakamura with it on smackdown.
@@naithngr81-jh2bb Yeah not because I don't want to just timing and real life stuff. I catch some news updates online but trying to get some time to start watching again. Thanks for the update. Wow I really been out of loop.
I like the name Gunther better imo. If anyone really complains about it, look how worse it could’ve been. I mean Kerry Von Erich was repackaged as “The Texas Tornado” for Christ sake… And that’s just naming ONE legend
Skinny Gunter just looks like a guy. When he was standing next to guys like Drew and Shaemus he just looked like a man off the street. When he was heavier he looked like a monster.
How many times are they going to ask about walter n weight loss... Every interview in past year, its all they ask... Awful interview, walter/ gunter must be bored to tears of answering it
I really want balor vs Gunther for the ic title , we robbed of it cuz of COVID , it's the perfect match two Europeans at the top of their games, Gunther does his best work with a smaller lads who have that strong style , like ilja , so I'm think , survivor series or rumble , balor Gunther ic title
I mean, he tecnically doesn't have a finisher (at least that's what It used to be, unsure now) he Just Beats you up with simple High Power moves until you are done. He won matches with chops
Is Gunther having the greatest IC Title reign of all time? Let us know in the comments.
Yes. He better surpass honky tonky man
Yes. No question.
@@cybzer0560I have to get my new phone to
No doubt about it! Gunther has elevated the IC title to the level of a world title.
Probably controversial opinion, as people forget the past, but: If we are speaking quality of matches? Yes, for sure. If we are speaking about giving prestige and meaning to the title, I feel Randy Savage is the still the best ever at that.
I'm liking Gunther interviews. He seems very intelligent
I was just about to say. He delivers a good interview.
sounds so educated. I bet his IQ is sky high
5 star interview banger after banger
@@blackhammer9764 his interviews with Ariel Helwani and Chris Van Vliet are also really good. He's a really eloquent speaker.
Well, he is European 😉

“Must be a dream to work with” yeah till he chops your chest 17 times in 2 minutes😭😭
@@TacoKingpin they know what they're getting when they get in the ring with him. The price you pay for a 5* match
@@TacoKingpinngl It’s kind of an honor now, to take his iconic chop.
Gunther is like a month away from being the longest reigning intercontinental champion ever!! Finally giving the title alot of prestige
Yes I think in mid September he gets the record
@@shoeplayisbad1 so close 🤌, a comedic character like Honky Tonk Man had to stop holding that record in order for that title to officially have great prestige
@@Thechosen0010 and gunther actually defends the title clean as much as possible unlike the honky who always got disqualifications and countouts.
@@Thechosen0010 Mr perfect had it, bret hart
Ric rude. It did have prestige before to
@@shoeplayisbad1 of course! Imo the Honky Tonk Man’s reign should have been broken long ago, maybe by Shawn Michaels who is an all time great
Gunther looks and moves so much better with the weight loss ,

He's such a humble dude, and awesome to watch as well. Can't wait to see him against Seth.
I saw Gunther win the IC belt live and I’m loving his fights. Looking forward to him and McIntyre to bring a clinic wrestling match tonight
I see Gunther being the successor to the Undertaker in the locker room. Very humble outside the ring, talks about who he’d like to work with, and speaks highly of all the talent.
Gunther sounds like a simple, no complaining, hard working man. Good wrestler. His role is perfect. He can fit into any wrestling promotion.
He is a professional
The light reflecting off the title just amazing.
Love this guy, charismatic and his abilities on the mic and in the ring are amazing. He adapted very well with the weight loss, made it work with a new name and still kept his presence. Gunther is a certified G, he has everything you need for a great wrestler. Y2J, Gunther and The Miz are my top IC champions.
The man makes a name, a name doesn't make the man.
Exactly!!!
I hope Gunther continues to go far in WWE I love him so much, original guy and lovely.
This dude is the personification of a total pro. I'm glad Gunther is killing it.
I don't really follow him or have seen any of his matches but I'm really surprised how well spoken he is and how humble he appears. May have gotten himself a future fan in me just from that alone.
You should start! Very great wrestler!
He can adapt every wrestler style.....and always make a banger match.
If you love chops you'll love his matches. Just saying lol.
Watch his wrestlemania match with Drew Mcyntire and Sheamus. Better than the main event imo.
This is the leader of the new school,and a good leader @ that.Gunther is a great cornerstone for Wwe.That's my guy.
Unlike Keith Lee, Gunther didn't complain about being told to loose weight and the name change. He took it with stride and dignity and did as he was told and look at where he is. A future world champion right here. The ring general Gunther
Which is why Gunther will be a bigger star than Lee can ever dream of being. He's a team player.
Gunther is a way more fitting name than Barn Cat lol.
@@ImageNationProjectlmaoooo
Ya know at time of his release, Keith Lee was recovering from a serious heart condition which prevented him from exercising for a long period? Not fair to compare the two
Gunther himself said he wasn't asked to lose weight though didn't he? And idk if they asked Keith that either
I barely watch any modern Pro Wrestling. But i remember seeing Walter (Gunther now) on the German indies back in the late 2000s. He called himself Big Van Walter, as a nod to Vader and he looked incredibly big and heavy and just looked like someone who would eat you for lunch. And he also is someone who takes Wrestling very seriously, something that i really don't see from alot of Wrestlers these days.
I am very happy That Walter got this far and i hope that he will win the big one before he retires.
He’s one of the top 3 wrestlers on the planet right now.
Great Interview, he seems very honest and open. Nice to see this different side!
The big money match is Gunther vs Brock Lesnar
That's a shiny ass belt.
Gunther escaped from WALTER's belly!!!
Michael Cole totally gave away the ending to his Summerslam match by saying how its only a short while until he beats Honky Tonk's record. As soon as he said that, I knew Gunther was winning.
Hella ruined it lol
How do you not know he was gonna win? Lol
Yo I really wanna see Gunther v Cody man. that would be 🔥
Love Gunther!! Cheers from New Zealand 🤙
I love that shiny championship design...imagine it with blue globe and slightly bigger plates...
I love that he calls it the throwback name Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion
Excellent interviewer. Asked good questions and let him talk.
Great interview with Gunther :)
Gunther is incredible. I can't wait to see him evolve to the bigger championship
That glorious IC belt just looks amazing on this dudes shoulders!
Gunther is a good guy he has his head on his shoulders. Bright future.
Future world champion 😍
Say what you want about Gunther, but he's greatest Intercontinental Championship of all time, his nickname proved it
The IC title is once again the place holder on the way to the heavyweight title.
THIS GUY REPRESENTS WHAT PRO WRESTLING SHOULD BE.
Love this guy one of the most entertaining members of wwe ever
"i think humans in general don't do well with change, while algiens liked instantly the name gunther"
Gunther, Ludwig und Vincent sind Deutschlands und Österreichs ganzer stolz. #DieMatteIstHeilig
Gunther is awesome!
Does Gunther have the greatest IC title reign in history? Let us know in the comments.
Yes, he could beat Honky Tonk Man's title reign and become the longest reigning IC champion
Very close to jericho,to me the goat with the IC
@@AndersenWolf good choice
Love from Austria
He's wonderful! Give him more TV speaking opportunities, now!
Gunther is very respectful and love the buisness
I want Ghunter vs Brock Lesnar now!!
He should be up for any World Title match asap
He looks like a floating head in the thumbnail
I think Gunther just screams oh oh ok then Wailter in my opinion I think WWE did a Well deserved name change because I love the name Gunther it is so different to any other names out there and WWE did a great job with naming Walter Gunther I love it and Imperium I love Ludwig and Giovanni they are such great talent and yeah I love all 3 members of Imperium such a great name for a Destructive group with Gunther Giovanni and Ludwig I love you guys and yeah that’s all I have to say
Change returns success. Action brings good fortune. As the sun sets, so too shall it rise.
GUNTHER can be a JAMES BOND VILLAIN .. anyone agrees ?
What a fokken star this man is. Everything about the way he carries himself screams main eventer for years to come.
Gunther is a beast and one of my favorite wrestlers to watch
Fantastic wrestler
My guy
Great wrestler. Seems like a nice dude.
But man is it unsettling to see him smile.
Gunther is the best in the world right now , doesn’t even need help to win his matches, which is rare for a heel , most heels these days have someone help them win there matches or cheat to win , Gunther is on another level of greatness.
That’s what I love about him. And I also love that as a heel he isn’t afraid of anyone either. He stood up in Brock’s face at the Royal Rumble
That's One of my favorite things about him. A truly intimidating heel
He is incredibly smart
Im beginning to become a fan of this guy.
Gunther vs gargano is WM match waiting to happen.
Gunther 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 👏👏👏👏
Future WWE champ!
Who’s here after he became WORLD CHAMPION?

Dudes kinda dope
Umm I helped the ring general slim down and he looks really good 😊👍🏻
Bro are you even yourself lol
Great to see Obi-Wan Kenobi at the end
Gunther vs free will be the best match.
Goonter. Valter.
Roman ☹️🤒🤕⛓️🩸⛓️🤕🤒☹️🇺🇸🗽🧐☎️🧐🥊🥊
My god, he's got hands like frying pans!
How many times are they going to ask about walter n weight loss... Every interview in past year, its all they ask... Awful interview, walter/ gunter must be bored to tears of answering it
My guy looks like he's tired of asking about his name change/weight loss.
I realized he sounds like arnold schwarzenegger. I forgot theyre both austrian 😅
he will always be walter to me dammit! :D
😂😂
I don't get the hate on the IC Title!
Interview Gallus
he is a big guy naturally, why are they asking him to lose weight and look like a twig?
Even though his name changed his gimmick stayed the same, that's why it worked
I still prefer Walter though
Gunter gives very good credibility to the intercontinental titel just like those intercontinental legends so it deos make sense
THESE QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS ASK. DIE MATTE IST HEILIG!!
These are the same guys mocking gunther name and making hit pieces .
Now he needs muscle gain to look as intimidating as before!
He is shredded right now, when he needs to bulk up a bit of size he will. It's all part of the fitness journey.
All it was and ever is, like always the IWC complaining about everything.
I don’t mind the name change, just hate how Michael Cole says it
Lost too much weight I think. Could do with gaining some back
“Reigns is on Smackdown. I’m on Raw.” Yea the brand split is dead
Again
Am i the only person who thinks Günther is a much better name than Walter? 😂
I really want balor vs Gunther for the ic title , we robbed of it cuz of COVID , it's the perfect match two Europeans at the top of their games, Gunther does his best work with a smaller lads who have that strong style , like ilja , so I'm think , survivor series or rumble , balor Gunther ic title
Is he similar to the older pretend fighters?
I just hope he comes up with a new finisher, that powerbomb is the worst one I've ever seen .
I mean, he tecnically doesn't have a finisher (at least that's what It used to be, unsure now) he Just Beats you up with simple High Power moves until you are done. He won matches with chops
And he doesn't have to talk
He married an Indian woman.. so we understand that he can talk
Take this tool next to the ring general away from him. He has no passion what so ever
I like Gunther. Really do. Want him to beat roman honestly for the title. The chops are boring now tho. 🤷🏿♂️
