On The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast, Mark Henry said the following about Gunther:
“He’s a throwback, yeah. And I liked him when he was bigger. I don’t care that he’s got, you can see abs and stuff. He’s a big, tough believable human. Currently, when I’m thinking like, they say, ‘Listen man, show me a man in wrestling today,’ I have to say Gunther. He looks like he will punch you in the face to talk to you.”
When podcast co-host Matt Lyda asked both WWE Hall of Famer if fans are getting the itch to witness more of Gunther’s style of wrestling, Henry and Undertaker replied:
“They need it.”

• During an interview with News 4 Jacksonville’s Scott Johnson, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long was asked what it was like to work for Vince McMahon.
Teddy said the following:
“Vince was a man that didn’t play. He was serious about the job and he wanted you to be serious. There’s nothing wrong with that. When you’re doing your job, you should be out there and you should be serious. If you lacked or anything, Vince would get right in you. He didn’t waste no time.
I saw him leave the Gorilla position and walk right down to the ring and make guys get out of the ring right on TV. He did that one night with Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston, I believe.
I think they were going to a pay-per-view. Seth was supposed to be looking good for the pay-per-view and I think Kofi was eating him up out there. Vince couldn’t take it.
He jumped up, got out of his chair and went down to the ring and made them get out in front of all the people. He took them back, talked to them, told them what he wanted and then sent them right back out there.”
