GUNTHER is known for a lot of things. He is the longest reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all-time and he has one of the best win/loss records in the history of the sport. The Ring General is also known for his signature strike, the knife-edge chop.
The champ’s chops have left welts on his opponents chests that are as dark as night, and his ability to deliver it at a lightning pace make it even harder to avoid. However, GUNTHER himself has also been chopped to oblivion, and now he names a star who hits just as hard as he does. During an interview with Chris Van Vilet GUNTHER was asked when he was chopped the hardest in his career. He recalled a showdown with current AEW star, Penta El Zero Miedo, during a showdown in Germany.
Um, I don’t know. I was shocked one time I remember I wrestled in Germany back then. I was wrestling Pentagon actually and I chopped him and he chopped me once and I was bleeding right away. It was like What? What is going on? Some of the Mexican colleagues are gonna say they chop like it’s, the movement is a little bit like it’s a whip, if that makes sense. It’s because they chop from overhand and most of them do. That is painful I gotta say.
Elsewhere in the interview GUNTHER spoke about his upcoming I.C. title defense against The Miz at this Saturday’s Survivor Series premium live event. You can read about that here.
