Gunther comments on stipulation matches.
Gunther has long preached that the mat is sacred and that his only goal in wrestling is to win. His dominance was on display during his record-breaking WWE Intercontinental Championship reign. Gunther has largely been involved in straight forward wrestling matches with no gimmick attached.
Speaking on The Gorilla Position, Gunther was asked if he would be open to doing hardcore matches.
"If it’s necessary, I guess if I have to, but I would never be the guy that goes up to the boss and be like, ‘Hey, I really want to do a TLC match’ or some other crazy stipulation. I personally like Cage Matches, I think a proper old-school cage match is a really cool attraction, but I feel like a lot of those matches turn into stunt shows at a certain point, where it’s more about who can do the riskiest jump off something instead of, okay, that’s the stipulation we have. Let’s say the cage is involved, and how do we utilize that logically and for everybody to understand and take that and build a story around it. That would be my approach to it, rather than aiming for, ‘What can I do that’s so spectacular that it will be forever in people’s minds?’ I don’t know, that has never been my personal approach. It’s up to every performer themselves, how they approach those things, but yeah, just for the sake of having a spectacular match that has some risky stuff, I would not want to do that," said Gunther.
Gunther has never competed in a cage match.
