Gunther big statement regarding Sami Zayn

‘The Ring General’ Gunther recently appeared for an interview on Gorilla Position, where he addressed Sami Zayn dethroning him at WrestleMania 41 to win the IC title. Gunther said that he was the right person to dethrone him. He then went on to praise Sami saying that he is really the underdog that people can connect with. He said that he is happy about the match and Sami ending his successful reign.

Gunther said, 

“I don’t think there was one right person. I think there would have been a few options. Chad is the other one that would have made a lot of sense. Sami is definitely one of those where it was ‘he’s the right guy to do it.’ He’s absolutely a fantastic professional wrestler. 

“He has a natural connection with the audience. He’s really the underdog that people can connect with and understand the struggle. It’s naturally the personality he is. He doesn’t look like the perfect athlete. That’s not who he is or ever was. That also adds to the people having a connection because basically nobody in our audience is a perfect person. It’s a very human thing to not be perfect. It’s very easy to connect with it and to go through those struggles with that person.”

“On top of that, he’s fantastic in the ring and has been for years. To do the match with him at the biggest stage possible and go out in the biggest way possible, I was very happy with that. It was a very successful ending to that reign.”

Gunther on his first appearance after WrestleMania 40 announced that he would no longer be a target, but will target each and every champion of the company. He also announced that he will be entering the King of the Ring tournament.
