Undertaker Says Gunther Would Have Been a Good Final Opponent

The Undertaker never got a chance to wrestle Gunther, and he thinks the Ring General would have made for a good final match for him. The Dead Man’s final match was against AJ Styles in the WrestleMania 36 in the cinematic Boneyard Match. He officially retired several months later at Survivor Series 2020.

Undertaker has long been fond of Gunther’s ring work, and he was asked about the man who has retired John Cena, Goldberg, and AJ Styles on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. He also looked back at his 2002 feud with Hulk Hogan where he dragged Hogan through a backstage area on his motorcycle. You can see highlights below:

On If Gunther Would Have Been a Good Retirement Opponent:

“Yeah. I mean, that would be a good one for sure. I like the way he works, and I like the way he takes his time and builds to a crescendo in a match. But there’s guys like Oba out there now, and one of the guys that I think may be the biggest star may be Trick Williams. I love Trick. All those guys I would have loved to have worked with.”

On His Segment Where He Dragged Hogan On the Motorcycle:

“I think there was a point in there somewhere where he had stolen my motorcycle. Again, I don’t know chronologically, but he fancied himself as being in that biker culture too, and so somehow or another, I drop him and get him all tied up behind my bike. I’m just cruising through the arena with him, trying to run him into as much stuff as I could. I think that was after he tried to steal my bike and it stalled out on the ramp. It was a good time because I knew at the end of this long corridor behind the arena, it opened up into the loading dock, and I knew what I was trying to do was kind of to whip it close enough so that he would kind of go into the wall. I couldn’t quite generate enough speed to get the effect that I wanted, but it looked pretty good.”
