Gunther Explains Why He’s Excited To Face The Miz

On a recent episode of The Masked Man Show, Gunther shared his thoughts on his upcoming title defense against The Miz (via Wrestling Inc). The wrestler explained his anticipation for the match, framing it as a meeting of talent with widely different styles. You can find a few highlights on the topic from Gunther and listen to the full interview below.

On his usual type of opponent in the ring: “Even though I think there’s a certain style for my matches, I like the match-ups that are like the biggest mix-up, if that makes sense. If you look just at the wrestling aspect of it, for example, obviously somebody like Chad Gable is the best opponent for me because those kinds of guys, — same with Riddle or even years ago, Tim Thatcher, Zack Sabre Jr. — those were always guys I loved to wrestle because they are those naturally gifted grapplers… It just goes very well with my style.”

On the difference in taking on The Miz: “It’s a challenge for me… He’s a completely different kind of wrestler.”
