2024 WWE King of the Ring โThe Ring Generalโ GUNTHER recently appeared on Gorilla Position, where he talked about a number of topics including working in a Hardcore Match.
GUNTHER said, โIf itโs necessary, I guess if I have to, but I would never be the guy that goes up to the boss and be like, โHey, I really want to do a TLC matchโ or some other crazy stipulation. I personally like Cage Matches, I think a proper old-school cage match is a really cool attraction, but I feel like a lot of those matches turn into stunt shows at a certain point, where itโs more about who can do the riskiest jump off something instead of, okay, thatโs the stipulation we have.โ
On working in a Steel Cage Match:
โLetโs say the cage is involved, and how do we utilize that logically and for everybody to understand and take that and build a story around it. That would be my approach to it, rather than aiming for, โWhat can I do thatโs so spectacular that it will be forever in peopleโs minds?โ I donโt know, that has never been my personal approach. Itโs up to every performer themselves, how they approach those things, but yeah, just for the sake of having a spectacular match that has some risky stuff, I would not want to do that.โ
