Chad Gable discusses what it was like to face off with Gunther.
Alpha Academy’s Gable challenged Gunther multiple times for the WWE Intercontinental Championship and while he did not dethrone the longest reigning IC champion of all time, he established himself as a singles competitor and possible title winner down the road.
Spekaing on WWE Die Woche, Gable was asked to describe how it feels to face Gunther.
“Oof, I wish I could show you my chest after some of those matches, and you could see how it feels. But it’s definitely some of the most intense, hard-hitting matches I’ve had in my entire career. So you get what you see on TV with him. It’s not a joke. You can see the chops, they look like they hurt. They hurt. They sound like they hurt, they hurt. He hits hard. Nothing is wasted with him. Everything he does, whether it’s a boot, a punch, a chop, everything matters, and it hurts, and it’s stiff, and it’s laid in there. It’s intense, and that draws that out of me as well. So it makes me fight back intensely as well, which I like. It’s very competitive, being in there with him. It forces me to up my game, if that makes sense, to raise my level a little more, which is necessary when you’re in with a guy like that for championship matches, so I love those matches,”
Chad Gable
Gunther is currently scheduled to defend the championship on tonight’s Monday Night RAW, when he faces off with Bronson Reed.
