Why Gunther Refuses To Chop WWE Fans

TLDR

Gunther explained on the What Do You Want To Talk About? podcast that he refuses to chop fans during appearances or events, stating "I never do it. Because I am a professional. They are not." The former world champion believes allowing his signature move to become a novelty would undermine the training and discipline required in professional wrestling, and he criticized the trend at independent shows where fans pay wrestlers to receive chops during meet-and-greets.
