But it’s lately that fans have been stunned by Gunther’s completely different physique.

“The first step was like, during Covid, we have a friend that is a bodybuilder and he’s coaching people – I think he owns a gym now and runs it and stuff,” Gunther said.

“He started to help Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci with their diet a little bit and they were following a diet and they got in incredible shape. So we had that guy around.

“Usually, I was always on top of things in my adult life, but the diet is always something I kind of like neglected because I was good the way I was.

“But when I signed for the main roster and I knew, okay, moving over now I know I’m gonna be on national TV I thought okay, let’s bring the best version of yourself you can.

“You’re going to be in front of millions of people every week. I think that step is necessary now. I’m glad I did it.

“I feel like the independent wrestler Walter that was a little bit bigger and looked like a butcher from the next-door shop, that was cool.

“I think that was fine for then and I feel like for the wrestling enthusiasts on the independent market, like when you think back like Stan Hansen or Terry Gordy, like the bigger guys.
