During a recent appearance on the “Gorilla Position” podcast, GUNTHER discussed his time as the WWE Intercontinental Champion.
GUNTHER said that there was no initial plan for him to hold the title for such a long period of time. He currently holds the record for the longest reign in the history of the title.
GUNTHER said, “No, not really. It was week by week or match by match and I never got told I was going to hold it for the longest time ever. I don’t know if that was initially the plan. When I became the Intercontinental Champion, it was still under Vince [Vince McMahon]; it wasn’t under Triple H. He came in a little bit later and took over. The conversation never really happened. I think over time, and how I carried myself as NXT UK Champion before, I think I’m the kind of wrestler that is really made for being a champion, if that makes sense. I’m going to represent it well.“
