Walter Hahn, or Gunther, is a very popular name in the world of pro wrestling. He is currently a part of the largest wrestling promotion in the world, WWE, and is the WWE Intercontinental Champion. With that, his fans are always excited to know more about him.
Recently a piece of news about the Intercontinental Champion has been making the rounds. It has been reported that Gunther has some major issues with ‘The Hitman’ Bret Hart. The issues are a result of Hart’s comments on Gunther’s match against Sheamus at WWE Clash at the Castle PPV.
With that, Gunther was recently seen appearing on WWE‘s The Bump. During his appearance, the champ talked about Bret Hart. He then said, “I don’t forget…(what) that man said at my match in Cardiff and was not mentioning nice things after that. So, he is not going to get anything nice from me”. Thus, it seems Gunther has no love for the WWE GOAT.
The Imperium leader added that he feels bad that Hart is no longer in the state to settle matters in the ring. He mentioned that it would otherwise have been extremely interesting. With that, it remains to be seen if the WWE Hall of Famer will have anything in response to what the Intercontinental Champion stated.
Know more about Bret Hart’s comments on Gunther’s match against Sheamus
WWE previously held the Clash at the Castle PPV event in September 2022. At the event, Gunther successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Sheamus. What is mentionable is that WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was present as a spectator at the event.
While several matches took place at the event, the match between Gunther and Sheamus drew a lot of attention from fans since it was highly praised by the WWE Universe. However, while appearing on HN Live, Bret Hart gave critical reviews of the match. He shed light on Gunther’s chopping move during the match.
Hart said, “Everyone knows that it’s not real, right? So why are you letting someone slap you and chop you across the chest and hurt you? You’re in pain all night, and you wake up the next day with blisters all over your chest, and then do it again the next night? It’s just stupid”. Thus, it seems Hart wasn’t a fan of the match, and this in turn led to issues between him and the Imperium leader.
