Aleister Black has praise for Gunther.
Since making his WWE debut with NXT UK, Gunther has been a champion for a large amount of his time in the company across three championship reigns, including as Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Champion.
While speaking in an interview with Wrestling the Rap Game prior to his AEW exit, Black would have praise for Gunther, calling him 'so special' and 'just a sweetheart'.
"Once he started working in wXw more and he got the opportunity to go to Japan, that’s where you saw such a change in him. It just clicked. His Big Japan matches, do yourself a favor, watch his matches in Big Japan, they are phenomenal. Him against Daisuke Sekimoto or Okabayashi, oh man, unreal. So good. He quickly became one of my absolute favorite wrestlers. He still is, to this day. I think he’s so special. He’s so unique. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him have a bad match. That’s one of those dudes that I’m so proud of. He deserves the world and more. Also, very friendly. Just a sweetheart."
Gunther is currently indefinitely suspended following an attack on Michael Cole and Pat McAfee. You can read more about that here.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Black commented on if he considered getting into the UFC or Strikeforce when he was younger. You can read more about that here.
