In a candid conversation with Fightful ahead of SummerSlam 2023 this past weekend, GUNTHER, in the midst of a legendary reign as the Intercontinental Champion, touched on life since his transition to the main roster.
Addressing the contrasting aspects of NXT and SmackDown/RAW, GUNTHER reflected,
“Overall, the travel was familiar, except very different extent. It’s every week, we pop out a few days and wrestle, do live shows, do TV. I also gotta say that flying in the United States is like driving a bus. It’s way more complicated. When you’re from Europe, flying still has that image of, it’s a little bit of a luxury experience, if that makes sense. But because of the size of this country, it’s very normal. So, the miles on an airplane are racked up in the last year. It must have been more than my whole life before. It’s absolutely crazy. But also, just in general, I think the speed of how fast everything happens, how many things you kind of have to wing to get into your day and get the job done, it’s very challenging sometimes, but it’s a great learning process, and the journey is a lot of fun to actually make those experiences.”
