This is why I don’t take the IWC serious on the Gunther hate


And and reminder KURT ANGLE’s last match was against BARON fukkING CORBIN:beli: Gunther vs Cena will be at minimum a good match

Melo needs a feud now.. they’ve rehabbed him with the face turn, and his performances got him over to the point where he’s getting chants every time he wrestles


Keep that momentum going. Put a mic in his hands and have him cut promos in front of a live crowd. That’s where he shines most imo… and put him in some type of mid card feud. I can care less about a title, just feature him. Put him in storylines with clear direction that are a featured part of the shows on Fridays


Just having really good matches is a start and a nice way to re-establish that he’s like that in the ring, but it’s not sustainable if you want people to continue to care. Need a story

I don't think anyone is hating on Gunther as much as it's the most boring and needless booking decision they could have made. No angle, but a tournament for Cena's last match, and they pick the guy who has been full time Brock Lesnar for 6 years straight, who just did the retire a legend thing a few months ago, and it is clear WWE has nothing big planned for him going into WM season anyway.

Nah. Let’s keep it a buck and not do gymnastics. We know what’s happening. They’re 100% hating on Gunther and it’s specifically because the spot didn’t go to the guy they wanted, whether it be some random NXT nikka or LA Knight..

Wrestling fans are like that. They want to control everything from who wrestles to the outcomes of the matches. In their minds Gunther already has his turn at the top so it should be someone else’s turn now, which is ass backwards. wrestling has never worked that way

The whole “someone younger should beat Cena!” bs doesn’t check out because the hottest young act in the company, 20 something year old Dirty Dom, just beat the nikka a week ago and they hated that too.

That's not what I've seen. Gunther been a mega internet darling for like 12 years. Maybe specific WWE only IWC smarks or something.

They always start of that way. Seth Rollins was an IWC darling at one point. So was Cody Rhodes.


The IWC has a weird savior complex. They love you when you’re down. They’ll scream injustice and go to war for you when they feel like you’re not pushed to their liking, but once you’re up.. that turn is quick. They’ll toss you aside for the next victim they wanna play hero for. Then once THAT person is up, they’ll move to the next underdog and so on.. It’s a cycle.
