On the latest episode of his “Hall Of Fame” podcast, Booker T heaped praise on GUNTHER, calling him a future World Champion. The reigning Intercontinental Champion’s work over the past year has been universally acclaimed, and he has been credited with restoring much of the title’s lost prestige.
Branding GUNTHER a future World Champion, Booker said,
“He’s a future World Champion in the company. He’s a guy that’s going to be that, that killer, monster heel in WWE. Timing is on his side as well. He’s young, he goes out, and if you don’t believe what Gunther does is real, go ahead and take one of those chops. That’s all you’ve got to do. Just take one and you would go, ‘Oh my God.’”
Recalling sharing the ring with GUNTHER in this year’s Royal Rumble match, Booker T said,
“When I was in the rumble, I thought about taking one of those chops and then I said, ‘Man, to hell with that. I’m not taking that damn chop.’”
Booker T was eliminated by GUNTHER in the match.
