WWE World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” GUNTHER recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show to discuss a wide range of topics. One key point of discussion was whether he feels disappointed about not main eventing WrestleMania 41 against Jey Uso with his title on the line.
GUNTHER said, “No, I’m not. There are two main event spots, some people argue there are only one and that’s night two. At the end of the day, those are big achievements, but that’s nothing I want to stress about. In the long-term, later on, when I finish my career and I am able to be financially set up and take care of my family. I did all of this doing the thing I always wanted to do. I don’t think, if I never main event WrestleMania, it’s going to make a difference about how proud or happy I’ll be about my career. That’s a mental challenge for us, the wrestlers. You want to do all those things naturally. You want to achieve this and do that, but it’s also important to put things into perspective and ground yourself a little bit. If you always look for what’s next, ‘I want more,’ it’s an endless game. Where is the end? I’d rather be focused on what I’m doing at the moment and put all my effort there. Put my focus on that and try to make it the best thing possible. That’s when really good stuff happens. I can’t control it anyway. I do my best and I will do my best anyway. It doesn’t matter where I would be on the card. I will do my best.”
