He’s my favorite wrestler of all time…he has surpassed the Macho Man. I love Seth but Gunther does it all…I got into a fight a while back with Cody Rhodes & The Young Bucks because they were doing too many flips, too many flips, like it pissed me off all the flips - Gunther’s move is a sleeper hold, a powerbomb & he does this splash of the top rope where he jumps & just…it’s awesome.
