You never really know what you get with Brock I would say. It's definitely a match I wanna have. I feel like Brock is somebody that I kind of class as my personal "END BOSS", that's the guy that at one point I have to step into the ring to validate myself if that makes sense.

Gunther reveals the reason to include the world ‘Heavyweight’ in Intercontinental title

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on his podcast, Gunther basically explained why he always says Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion. He revealed that the word “Heavyweight” was always written on the title, but he noticed it late. When he did, he started mentioning the word for his title. He further added that it adds more significance and people always give importance to heavyweight title matches regardless of the sport. 

Obviously, it helps because I feel like we all grew up with the most popular boxing matches being heavyweight. So, when you add that to the title, it just helps to make it even more significant.
