Yup. I wanted to see where the match was going before starting a thread. But after that? He's SMASHING the Honky record and he's so damn close now. He's destroying that record. Honky Tonk Man got that record by running away and doing every cheap tactic he could find until someone came along (Warrior) that demolished him in short order. Gunther is if Honky Tonk Man was Warrior the whole time. Though it is hard to find two more different wrestlers than Warrior and Gunther.
Warrior felt like a quasi-supernatural dude, almost a force of nature that destroyed his opponents in short order, had an unhinged promo style and had a body that looked like it belonged to the main character in a sword and sorcery novel. Warrior also had retina searing ring gear. In contrast, Gunther feels a lot more grounded than the warrior. Dude has a body type that is a lot leaner than the bloated Warrior and his ring gear is simpler. Gunther is all business, with him it's a what you see is what you get type deal. There aren't many frills with Gunther, but he is absolutely thrilling in the ring - everything he does looks purposeful and that purpose is to punish his opponent. Gunthers matches are brutal, hard hitting affairs which also have no shortage of technical chops to go with those knife edge chops, and that is one hell of a combo and they are pretty much everything you could want in a match. He looks great, his opponent looks great and the match looks great. I didn't think that Gunther would have made it on the main roster. So glad I was proven wrong.

Next challenger seems to be Xavier Woods before the draft.

Next challenger seems to be Xavier Woods before the draft. If past title defenses are any indication, Woods is gonna get a really good showing against Gunther. Can’t wait to see this match.

Pedro Morales gonna have his longstanding WWF record surpassed No. Roman's Universal reign is not the same lineage as Pedro's WWWF title. Roman's WWE title reign is going to need another 2 years to overcome Pedro.

In about 10 days time.
Gunthers 1 IC title reign will have lasted longer than all 9 of Jerichos combined.

I hope they bring Ilja Dragunov and/or Tyler Bate up in that draft. There’s two more credible opponents right there. Also Pete Dunne if he comes back.

I think I would be enjoying this reign a lot more if we didn't already have so many other unbeatable heels who never job. Between Gunther and the Bloodline it's just too much. You need at least one face champion somewhere to at least balance it out a little bit. It's hard to care for any face since they just aren't allowed to win anything. It's got to the point where now it doesn't even matter if titles are at stake with cases like Riddle who comes back after being injured by Solo months ago and then promptly just jobs to Solo in his first two matches back.

Those two in a barn burner at Summerslam? Wow. Have GUNTHER kill him in a very competitive 30 min match and you’ve got a MOTY right there.

My two favorite babyface moments of the last, like, 5 years were Drew eliminating Brock from the Rumble and staring him down and Dragunov standing tall with his foot on GUNTHER's chest after their classic second match.

Give me Ilja vs. Gunther again, and on the main roster. Holy hell, yes. I hope they bring Ilja Dragunov and/or Tyler Bate up in that draft. There’s two more credible opponents right there. Also Pete Dunne if he comes back. Ilja Dragunov... the only man GUNTHER fears will eat him.FTFY

323+ days. The title moves over to Raw and he has a fresh set of new challengers.
And Drew McIntyre...

I want to see him lose it to The Miz. Miz deserves to be recognized as most IC Titles, and it frees Gunther up for the WHC Tournament which I want him to win.
