2024 WWE King of the Ring โ€œThe Ring Generalโ€ GUNTHER recently appeared on Gorilla Position, where he talked about a number of topics including working in a Hardcore Match.

GUNTHER said, โ€œIf itโ€™s necessary, I guess if I have to, but I would never be the guy that goes up to the boss and be like, โ€˜Hey, 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 itโ€™s more about who can do the riskiest jump off something instead of, okay, thatโ€™s the stipulation we have.โ€

On working in a Steel Cage Match:

โ€œLetโ€™s 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, โ€˜What can I do thatโ€™s so spectacular that it will be forever in peopleโ€™s minds?โ€™ I donโ€™t know, that has never been my personal approach. Itโ€™s 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€
