The record books will name The Ring General Gunther as the longest-reigning NXT UK World Champion. He also holds the record for the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion. Earlier this year, Gunther won the 2024 King of The Ring Tournament. In less than four weeks, Gunther will be challenging Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Recently, former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor shared his thoughts on the Ring General.
Finn Balor was a special guest on the What’s The Story podcast. During the interview, Balor mentioned that The Ring General is the best performer on the planet at the moment.
“WALTER, GUNTHER, whatever you wanna call him, in my opinion, is probably the best performer on Earth right now. In my opinion, to watch in the ring. I get so oversaturated seeing so much stuff that I just kinda go ‘ahh can’t be arsed watching this’. I’ve not seen it all, but I’ve seen so much. I’m 43 now, so it’s like watching wrestling for 35 years, so it’s rare that I go, “Ah, I’m interested in this,” but when WALTER gets in the ring, I’m interested. I want to see everything that he does.
“There’s no bits where I know what he’s going to do for the next five minutes…That’s one of the few matches in my career that I want to have. We tried to set it up right before COVID in NXT UK, then the world had a different plan for us. Then we went different ways, and now, we’re both heels, so I don’t know how that would work. I’ve expressed my opinion to the office that I would love to get that match, and hopefully, we can get it done in the future,” Finn Balor said. [H/T WrestlingNews]
