What he says holds a lot of weight around the business and when he showers praise on a particular talent, it is a huge compliment. During a recent edition of his “Six Feet Under” podcast, Undertaker took some time out to show some love for WWE Intercontinental champion Gunther. A performer the multi-time world champion believes is a special talent with an old-school style in a new-school era.
The Undertaker a big fan of Gunther’s storytelling ability
“I really like him,” Undertaker said about Gunther. “I think the sky’s the limit for him. I think he’s a little bit of a throwback to a different era, but has the ability to work and tell stories. I mean he just had that match with Dom [Mysterio] which is tough, a heel versus a heel is a tough match when somebody doesn’t turn.
“He kept Dominik a heel and he kept himself a heel, and I’m really, really high on him. But, yeah, we would probably fistfight about two chops in.”

He is set to defend his gold against former IC and tag champion Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania 40.
