GUNTHER recently appeared as a guest on "INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet" to promote this Saturday's WWE Survivor Series 2023 premium live event, where he defends his WWE Intercontinental Championship against The Miz.
During the discussion, "The Ring General" revealed which match has been his favorite thus far in 2023, as well as his thoughts looking back at this year's WWE SummerSlam 2023 PLE and WrestleMania 39 two-night spectacular.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On his WrestleMania 39 triple-threat match against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre being his favorite Intercontinental title defense so far this year: "I would say WrestleMania for sure, Sheamus and Drew. I was very happy with that, in general was a great day and weekend for me. My family was there and stuff like that. It was overall a really awesome experience. I would say Chad, Chad Gable, it felt good. I love an underdog scenario like the David and Goliath scenario. Who would be number three? Clash at the Castle is good. But I already mentioned Sheamus and he doesn’t deal too well with too much attention. So I can’t mention him again."
On how beating Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam was also a big deal for him: "Well, I think Drew the thing is SummerSlam against Drew, I think it was a match I was really proud of as well. Because Drew is such an established guy in WWE. And if you look at his story, it’s very impressive. I think he was the young guy that got kicked, but he wasn’t like, I’ll let it be. He grit his teeth and worked himself up again. And then he worked himself up to the he was the champion. He beat Brock at WrestleMania. And even though nobody was there was still WrestleMania. He figured out a way to like really belong in that top picture of the company. It’s like they would see Drew McIntyre. Okay, that guy. People turn around when that guy enters a room, right? So yeah, so being in the ring with him and having that kind of match with him at SummerSlam. I really liked that. It was like it for me, it was a big test to have to match with Drew. And just to see if I can, yeah, just hang with him in there on that stage and have a matchup and magnitude."
