– During a recent edition of Kliq This, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash praised the in-ring psychology of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, comparing him to Shawn Michaels. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Kevin Nash on Gunther: “Gunther is like Shawn Michaels. Not in work style, but in psychology, where he could make somebody, and still heel and beat them. And get out of there with the belt week after week after week. And then build his heat.”
On how long he’s been a champion in WWE: “They had a statistic. I don’t know how real it is, but I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have said it because it’s something that I would probably look up if I was a diehard. But they said that Gunther has been, since he’s been with the WWE, has been a champion 75% of the time he’s been with them, which is unprecedented.”
Gunther will be in action this weekend at WWE Bash in Berlin. He’ll be defending his title against Randy Orton on Saturday, August 31. The event will be held at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany. It will be broadcast live on Peacock.
