GUNTHER Discusses How Close He Came To Quitting Wrestling During His Time On The Indie Scene

2024 WWE King of the Ring and new World Heavyweight Champion โ€œThe Ring Generalโ€ GUNTHER recently spoke with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports on a number of topics including how close he came to quitting wrestling during his time on the Indie scene over a decade ago.

GUNTHER said, โ€œI had a day job working only night shifts for nearly three years and wrestling on the weekends, that took a toll, that was hard to sustain. My goal was always to make a living off professional wrestling, that was not in sight, so I thought I should call it quits and focus on a career in my real job.โ€

โ€œI spoke with Westside Xtreme Wrestling and said, either I run a wrestling school for you, and thatโ€™s my job, or I think I call it quits. They were happy to do that, they wanted to have a wrestling school, they employed me and since then, professional wrestling has been my main profession.โ€
