Mason Rook Wants To Face The Heavier Version Of Gunther, ‘He Was More Menacing’
Since signing with WWE and moving to the main roster, Gunther has slimmed down and gotten into better shape.
Once known as a big imposing force by the name of WALTER on the independent scene and his early NXT UK days, Gunther has kept his physicality despite losing weight.
Appearing on Busted Open Radio, Mason Rook named “The Ring General” as his dream opponent at WrestleMania.
Asked what he thought of Gunther’s transformation, Rook replied, “I enjoy this new version of him, but personally, I would say, as someone who loves to be inspired by different wrestlers and look to to take bits from, I would definitely say when he was a bit heavier and bigger, he was a lot more menacing. That is who I would want to be in there with. That’s who I looked at and was like, ‘Wow, this guy is someone who I should try to emulate.'”
Rook is the number one contender to the NXT Championship.
Elsewhere during the interview, Rook commented on his own appearance. You can find his full comments here.
