GUNTHER Is Surprisingly Funny! Making WWE History, Losing 65 Pounds, Learning To Speak English

GUNTHER (@gunther_AUT) is a professional wrestler and the longest reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all time. He joins Chris Van Vliet to talk about making history in the WWE, whether or not he celebrated on his record-breaking night, who his favorite title defenses have been against, the difference between WALTER and GUNTHER, how he made a major body transformation and lost over 65 pounds, the viral photo of him and Ludwig Kaiser, how he learned to speak English from wrestling, wrestling against Chad Gable, why he thought WWE was never going to sign him, long-term storytelling and much more! Quote I'm thinking about: A work of art does not answer questions, it provokes them; and its essential meaning is in the tension between the contradictory answers. - Leonard Bernstein Sponsors: FITBOD: Get 25% off when you use the code INSIGHT at http://fitbod.me/INSIGHT ZBIOTICS: Get 15% off with the code CVV and have a better morning after you drink at http://zbiotics.com/cvv MYBOOKIE: Bet on WWE!
