Gunther reflects on his match with Sheamus from the Clash At The Castle premium live event.
The bout between Sheamus and Gunther, which was contested for the Intercontinental Championship, was widely regarded as one of the best matches of 2022.
Fans of Fightful were specifically fond of the match, as it was voted the Match Of The Year in the 2022 Fightful Awards.
In a new interview, Fightful asked Gunther if he felt fulfilled with the critically acclaimed match.
“The thing is, I guess to some degree, but everything happens so fast that it’s very hard to actually sit back sometimes and enjoy or reflect on what happened and stuff like that. Overall, it was great. I think Clash at the Castle was good for me because it was the first big pay-per-view match for me, or PLE as we say now. I could just showcase myself, showcase to the audience what I do. I think the style of match I put on is nothing they have really seen on that scale before. I think that’s why it stood out and why it was special, and Sheamus was a great opponent. He doesn’t stop, so you really gotta put a lot of effort into keeping the guy down."
Elsewhere in the interview, Gunther talked about how he doesn't like to reflect on the past, and how he would prefer to stay in the moment. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
