Bronson Reed Names Gunther And KENTA As The Hardest-Hitting Wrestlers He's Faced

Bronson Reed calls Gunther and KENTA the two men who have hit him the hardest.

Bronson Reed is no stranger to physicality. He is the same man who put Seth Rollins on the shelf with six Tsunamis. However, sometimes, when you dish it out, you need to be able to take the punishment that comes at you just as hard, if not harder.

Bronson Reed has been in the ring with plenty of tough opponents, and now, speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, he is explaining why Gunther and KENTA are the two individuals who have hit him the hardest.

"I mean, I’ve had some hard hits. I’ll give you two. One is obviously Gunther. His chops are the hardest chops I’ve ever taken. I remember distinctively the first time wrestling him in Germany, and we were in a tiny little warehouse. It was like their dojo where they trained, and I remember getting chopped, and just how loud it was shocked me more than the actual feeling of the chop. Then, obviously, two seconds layered, your brain goes, ‘Oh. That’s on my chest.’ [Laughs] That, and I’ll have to say KENTA. He used to kick very hard back in the Japanese…when I first wrestled in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Every time he kicked me, he gave me a Go To Sleep that sent me for a loop. I’d say Gunther or KENTA are the hardest hitters, and they’ve hit me pretty hard [laughs]."
