Booker T, the WWE Hall of Famer, recently shared his thoughts on his Hall of Fame podcast, discussing various topics in the world of professional wrestling. One of the highlights of the podcast was Booker T’s belief that GUNTHER has the potential to become the greatest WWE Intercontinental Champion of all time.
Booker T emphasized that GUNTHER’s record as the longest reigning champion, as well as his impressive resume, make him a strong contender for the title. According to Booker T, championship rings hold significant value and should be considered above all else. He praised GUNTHER for his throwback style, focusing on powerful strikes rather than acrobatic maneuvers.
Furthermore, Booker T discussed the potential of ROW (Reality of Wrestling) becoming a feeder system for WWE, similar to OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling). He mentioned some of his former students who have made it to the big leagues, such as Sammy Guevara and Ember Moon. Booker T expressed his desire to find talented individuals who can excel in different wrestling promotions, including Japan and Impact Wrestling. He highlighted that ROW doesn’t provide diplomas but aims to guide its wrestlers towards success by helping them secure lucrative contracts.
This insight from Booker T provides an interesting perspective on the current state of professional wrestling and the potential of rising stars like GUNTHER. It raises questions about the criteria for determining the greatest Intercontinental Champion and the importance of championship reigns in evaluating a wrestler’s legacy.
