WWE World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” GUNTHER appeared on The Masked Man Show to discuss various topics, including his disdain for the Money in the Bank briefcase cash-in concept.
GUNTHER said, “So, first of all, I wanna express my disgust for the Money in the Bank briefcase. Whatever you call it — stipulation or — I remember back then when some of those big cash-in moments happened and some of those guys won a big title for the first time in their career and it’s because they run out with a briefcase and there’s an already beaten opponent who’s just, yeah… lay on top of him for three seconds. I don’t know. I never found that very gratifying. So that’s never something I was interested in participating (in). As of right now, I don’t know. Maybe there’s a little bit of honor left in Seth Rollins to not use it like that. But yeah, I’m not too worried about it to be honest… It’s a shortcut. When you win something big, you wanna earn it. I don’t know. Never found (it) gratifying.”
On how things are between himself and Ludwig Kaiser:
“Oh, very good. We just been to Italy last week. We were invited — at a friend’s wedding. It’s very nice. It’s all good.”
