Gunther Says He Tries Not to Identify Himself By Who His Wrestling Character Is

Gunther says he isn’t very similar to his on-screen character.

The casual audience in WWE is not very fond of the current Intercontinental Champion, as he often is disrespectful to the fans and sometimes uses fellow Imperium members, Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser, to help him win matches.

In a new interview with Sam Roberts, Gunther noted that he really tries to not identify himself through who he is in the ring.

“There’s obviously different sides to this profession, like the professional person that is me and obviously there is the private person that is me. Sometimes I think they don’t have that much in common, but I think that’s a healthy balance, I think at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much you enjoy it, it doesn’t matter how much it means to me, it is my profession, and we’ve all got to have a different side of life that has nothing to do with that. I try really try to not build or identify myself, in life in general, through who I am in the ring.”
