WWE News: Gunther Talks About Changes Made in Himself Before Joining The Main Roster- It is no secret that Vince McMahon has always liked superstars who are fit, in shape, aspirational, and desirable. While Gunther has always been a brilliant performer on the NXT scene, he was a little overweight. In an interview with Sport1 Germany, Gunther talks about the transformation he went through before coming joining SmackDown. He also mentioned it was his initiative and was no pressure from the higher-ups.
“It was completely my own initiative,” Gunther told Sport1 in Germany. “For me, it was quite clear — if I want to take the next big step, I have to present more for the general public. Personally, I’ve always been a big fan of old-school Japanese wrestlers who still had a belly and looked like you’d imagine a butcher. Emulating such idols worked for me also because up to now, I’ve been there for the, let’s call it, hardcore wrestling audience.
As the interview went forward he also spoke about the differences between working on the Independent scene or NXT and the difference between working on the Main roster in the WWE.
“In the WWE main roster, however, the conditions are different,” Gunther continued. “You are on a global stage, in the mainstream. From my point of view, you have to present yourself differently. And I prepared well for that in the months leading up to my move to the USA. […] Honestly, no one can tell me that anyone who happens to turn on the TV wouldn’t think I was better and more believable the way I looked before than I do now.”
