On the Crowd Reaction To Him:

“Yeah, it felt really good. It’s like, I could tell the whole day already. It’s different because my my tour bus was parked outside the venue, and I had to be escorted through a bunch of people, a bunch of fans to get to the building. And usually when I leave the building and there’s people, you get like a little, ‘Ah, Gunther, boo ha ha!’

“But it felt tense from like, early in the day. Already, I could feel it felt tense. So the the people really wanted to see John win and really wanted to have that. good feel moment with him at the end of it. But it didn’t happen. You don’t always get what you want.”

“It’s like really hard to compare. Like the whole day, I could tell like people were really tense and very serious about everything. It almost felt like more important than WrestleMania to a lot of people backstage, if I can compare it to that. And yeah, and it felt like — I mean, I knew what I was going to do anyway. So the the clock was ticking. It almost felt like a a time bump to explode at the end of the day. And well, it did. And yeah, thankfully to my advantage.”

On His Message To Fans:

“Suck it up. [laughs] In German, we got a saying that says, ‘Everything’s got an end, but a sausage got two.’ So if you’ve been naive enough to think that all of that ‘Never Give Up’ stuff is going to hold up forever, then yeah. Blame yourself.'”
