The Undertaker is a big fan of the King General.
It has been quite some time since the Undertaker has been able to step into the ring for a match in the WWE, the last one took place in a Boneyard Match against AJ Styles in a winning effort at WrestleMania 36. Since then, the Deadman has been watching one of WWE’s top stars, Gunther, become a huge star for the company with his historic Intercontinental Championship reign.
During an episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the Deadman spoke about how despite him not being the biggest fan of chops, he would love to work with Gunther and allow the chops to happen.
“I’m not fond of chops at all. I did work Flair. I told Flair he gets three. I think I ended up giving him more. ‘You get three chops.’ I’m pretty sure he got more than three [laughs]. I let Shawn (Michaels) chop me up pretty good, too. It’s a weird deal with me. I’d rather get a potato than for a punch to look bad. I’d rather you hit me, hit me in a safe spot, but hit me, and we’ll get by. I’d rather the match be good than me selling a punch that misses by six inches. Guys spend all this time working on their punches and trying to work light and then just knock the crap out of you with a chop. It was just a thing. I would love, right now, to be able to work with Gunther. I would let him chop the shit out of me. I would love to work with him,” The Undertaker said.
Gunther earned a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam by defeating Randy Orton in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
