Gunther: The Speed Of Things On The Main Roster Is Challenging, But It’s A Great Learning Process
Gunther discusses what he’s learned since coming up from NXT.
On the April 8, 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown, Gunther made his debut on the main roster. Prior to that, ‘The Ring General’ had spent nearly three years in NXT and NXT UK, where he was the longest reigning NXT UK Champion of all time.
Gunther’s dominance continued when he became a member of the SmackDown roster, as he quickly won the Intercontinental Championship.
In a new interview with Fightful, Gunther was asked to talk about what’s he learned since coming to the main roster.
“Overall, the travel was familiar, expect very different extent. It’s every week, we pop out a few days and wrestle, do live shows, do TV. I also gotta say that flying in the United States is like driving a bus. It’s way more complicated. When you’re from Europe, flying still has that image of, it’s a little bit of a luxury experience, if that makes sense. But because of the size of this country, it’s very normal. So the miles on an airplane are racked up in the last year. It must have been more than my whole life before. It’s absolutely crazy. But also just in general, I think the speed of how fast everything happens, how many things you kind of have to wing to get into your day and get the job done, it’s very challenging sometimes, but it’s a great learning process, and the journey is a lot of fun to actually make those experiences.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Gunther named Penta El Zero Miedo as the person who has chopped him the hardest. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
