Gunther Reveals Driving Force Behind Incredible Weight Loss Journey

Gunther entered WWE as WALTER and demonstrated his abilities in NXT UK. After years of dominating his WWE brand, he made the jump to the main roster.

Walter had significantly reduced his weight and gained considerable presence.

Before coming to WWE, WALTER was known around the world for his hard punches. Now that he’s his WWE gunner, the ring general is all about business.

It was also a very difficult path that took a lot of effort to get him there.

While speaking with Chris Van Vleet on Insight, Gunther explained to fans the reason for his weight loss.

Since it was during the coronavirus pandemic, he learned a lot about how to define his body shape. This allowed him to get into incredible physical shape.

“The first step was like, during COVID, we have a friend that is a bodybuilder and he’s coaching people.

I think he owns a gym now and runs it and stuff. He started to help Kaiser and Gio with their diet a little bit, and they were following a diet, and they got in incredible shape.

So we had that guy around, and I was never really, that’s the one thing I have to say. Usually, I wasalways on top of things in my adult life, but the diet is always something I kind of like neglected because I was good the way I was,

but when I signed for the main roster and I knew, okay, moving over now I know I’m gonna be on national TV I thought okay, let’s bring the best version of yourself you can. You’re going to be in front of millions of people every week.”

“I think that step is necessary now. I’m glad I did it. I feel like the independent wrestler Walter that was a little bit bigger and looked like a butcher from the next-door shop, that was cool.

I think that was fine for then, and I feel like for the wrestling enthusiasts on the independent market, like when you think back like Stan Hansen or Terry Gordy, like the bigger guys,

I think it has its place in wrestling a little bit, but I felt like it was time to make a step and progress.”

WWE was able to find a spot for Gunther, and considering he weighs 65 pounds lighter, his presence becomes even more impressive. Time will tell what the Ring General does next.

Gunther will defend the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz at Survivor Series.

No matter how this tournament ends, there’s a good chance Gunther will maintain his dominance.
