The Miz is a big fan of GUNTHER’s reign as Intercontinental Champion.
Speaking to Comic Book Nation, The Miz heaped praise on GUNTHER for the way he’s been able to make the IC title belt prestigious with his current run of 406 days. He is just nine days away from surpassing ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage’s 414 day run. The Honky Tonk Man holds the longest IC title record at 454 days. The Miz said,
“I think he’s doing with the Intercontinental Championship what exactly he should be doing with it and that is making it relevant, making it prestigious, being involved in meaningful storylines and making it mean something. He is at a level now where if he dropped the title, he’s in a mix for a WWE Championship and that’s what I always felt that title was supposed to be, not necessarily a stepping stone, but it was a title that builds you and builds you until you’re almost level with the World Heavyweight Championship. Once that title is dropped, or you can even go and have two titles, the world title and the Intercontinental. So I think he’s doing a great job. Who will unseat him? You’ve got Drew McIntyre going for it, he’s a very viable person. I remember back in the pandemic era, he was unstoppable in a WWE ring, except for me. I beat him for the WWE Championship, second reign. But who’s counting?“
