GUNTHER WWE BASH IN BERLIN 2024 PRESS CONFERENCE!

uh hello long time no see uh marus grman from wrestling Observer um you've come a long way from wrestling in Germany from the toan Harland overhaus and um yeah you you you're on top um Kaiser is up there iot ranov and uh yeah European wrestlers are roaming the the wrestling world will osre is on top sex saber just W the G1 so um what do you think like is it the European work ethic or what makes European wrestlers stand out in the in the world of wrestling these days I think it's because we're the best I think that's the reason um no I think there's certainly uh different in Styles and Europe always has to be known that uh for yeah having solid technique having a certain amount of physicality and the sport was always the main focus and obviously that shaped me and my yeah my thinking about the sport as well and and yeah I think it's the foundation of it and now ever since WWE uh years ago started to yeah open up to the wrestling world that's a that influence came into the company and yeah the fans enjoy it a lot and it will just get more and more popular third round um Keith Elliot Greenberg with inside the ropes magazine um a it appreciate the efforts okay um what made the experience very unique tonight was the way the fans reacted to you they were still chanting your name Walter Walter your old name when you come into a place like Berlin and you have that sense of community with the fans for years and years what are their expectations of you that you don't face in other places and what are the little touches you have to implement in order to satisfy those demands um I think so first of all it's kind of like the German fans are very different to I would say worldwide like we're having we having sellouts all around the world and people are very excited and the last week we had a tour of Germany and the German fans are a little bit different they're a little bit harder to get and you have to work a little bit harder but that's the environment I grew up as a wrestler and I think that's what a big part of what made me good that the fans over here are yeah they just expect a little bit more out of us um and I think that shaped shaped me to be the kind of wrestler that I am um and I think I managed to yeah I worked hard to gain their respect and to be out there and receive that authentic respect it's a very rewarding feeling and yeah I thank them for that third row um Patrick fand from funan Germany hello and I want to ask you something about one specific moment in the match um after I think five or six minutes the people started with this big laola chant and uh the match kind of stopped for a moment and Randy Orton looked like what the hell is going on here and uh he's veteran doing this since 25 or 30 years so uh what did you think in this specific moment and could we Germans keep up um with the people in Leon and per and wherever WWE had this big life events uh in the last months I mean first of all yes I think everybody kept up with the expectations today I think it was a very special atmosphere and what I love about being in Europe it's it almost feels like a football stadium it's like it's like a load the energy is yeah it's very similar and the crowd is loaded and uh it's very different from I guess what Randy is used to um and I yelled it over to him two or three times like well that's I'm used to that stuff like that's how they are over here and uh that's what we do it for we do it for yeah as an escape for every single fan that comes to the building and wants to yeah be part of that experience so andk they brought it so hats off to them we have time for two more questions Uh Kevin Clifton from Guerilla position um speaking of football there's an expression where we say play the game not the occasion so that they don't get nervous because of the size of the occasion but this must have been a massive occasion for you tonight did that make you more nervous in any way for tonight or are you just so kind of experienced that you don't feel those nerves anymore um well I'm blessed with a very yeah I don't get nervous I'm blessed with that and uh I was very excited going out today because moments like today and obviously I would think today there has been more pressure on me than ever before because WB did the big event over here in Germany and I think it was still like it's never happened before so there's still a little bit of a risk that the company took to do that and yeah to be the more or less the poster boy of all of that is obviously a big responsibility but I worked my whole life to be in situations like that so the last thing I want to think about is I don't know being nervous I was looking forward to that and for those 20 30 minutes out there that's why we take yeah all the struggles upon us and yeah that's what I'm here to do and uh I was very excited going out there and I was able to lose myself in that atmosphere today and celebrate at professional wrestling in WB here in Germany and uh yeah when it comes to WB in Germany and I haven't heard anything but I would be surprised if it ends here uh I think it's a very strong statement and I'm more than positive that we will be back here last question Alis MC Jorge with Metro from the UK and it's a simple one you're building quite the Legacy here and around the world what do you hope that Legacy will be as your career continues um I don't know I literally never thought about that um I try to be the best I can be um I try to be the best wrestler I can be and yeah I try to have the best matches I can have that's what I'm only focused on and that's what I'm continue to do um and I think if we focus on being the best possible then that's when the product will be the best possible and that's when the fans will be will have the best possible experience gun thank you so much hopefully tonight you can focus on a championship celebration I'm going to focus on the Schnitzel and the beer maybe yes
