"You need to always progress" - Gunther comments on life-altering transition
After arriving in WWE, Gunther underwent a major life-altering transition. He has now commented on it.
Ever since his WWE debut in 2019, Gunther has proven himself to be a dominant force in the ring. As the reigning NXT UK Champion, he dominated his opponents for years. After losing the title, he moved onto the main roster in 2022, where his dominance continued.
During his time on the main roster, The Ring General started getting in great physical shape. He underwent a major physical transformation during his historic reign as the Intercontinental Champion and is now on the cusp of being a World Champion.
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the WWE star opened up about his body transformation. He also mentioned that good presentation and proper physique will attract more attention to the product.
"You need to always progress. I used to be bigger, and some of the hardcore wrestling fans say that was better for me. There was that romantic side of Vader and Stan Hansen where a lot of guys in wrestling looked like that and were successful. Even though I have a lot of admiration for the old stuff, and that is my personal taste, the reality is I need to find my place now. The product is so hot right now, and this is an even bigger audience. The presentation and physique I have now catches the eye more than I did before."
