'The Ring General' is still reigning on top with his Intercontiental title, a belt that he's held for nearly 600 days at this point. At this point, there are many fans that don't expect Gunther to lose the belt to another star, but rather vacate the title to challenge for a world championship.

While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Gunther was asked to talk about what it means to be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.
