GUNTHER Explains Why WWE’s Massive Audience Forced Him To Change His Look

TLDR

GUNTHER explained that WWE's expansion to a much larger mainstream audience, especially through Netflix, forced him to change his physical appearance because he realized average viewers would see him as out of shape rather than championship material. The Ring General revealed that while hardcore wrestling fans understood his old-school heavyweight look inspired by American wrestlers who competed in Japan, mainstream audiences would not have the same perspective. GUNTHER described the mental battle of fighting what he called his "inner pig dog" - the voice that pushes toward bad habits and lack of discipline - as the hardest part of his transformation.
