Gunther is happy with his WWE Intercontinental Title run.
Gunther is just days away from becoming the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all-time. Honky Tonk Man currently holds the record at 454 days, but Gunther is at 437 days at of August 21.
Speaking to Sam Roberts on Not Sam Wrestling, Gunther discussed the importance of the championship.
"It makes me very proud. It was the same with the NXT UK Title before. It was something where, okay, when I'm able to win a title, I'm going to make it the best run I possibly can make it. The one thing I believe in is that the title doesn't make the man, it's the man that makes the title. I really believe in that. Obviously, it makes me very proud because, like I said, when I was a child I watched Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart, and whoever being the Intercontinental Champion. That I can be on some sort of list of whatever they have going on with the longest reigns and something with those guys. That's absolutely crazy, and I'm doing it my way. That's the fact that makes me the most proud. I adapted, I learned, I evolved, but I never changed what I think was right for me to do. That's the thing that makes me proud," he said.
Gunther is set to defend his title against Chad Gable on the August 21 episode of WWE Raw.
