 What's good, George, but Ross back again with another video. So your boy has finally did it. I think all of us expected it to happen. Gunther has finally broken the record of WWE's longest intercontinental champion of all time. And I think a lot of us can agree that is rightfully deserved. The guy has put the intercontinental championship back into the limelight. Where it belongs. Um, it's been quite some time since we've had an intercontinental champion that feels this important. He makes the championship seem like the most important championship in the company. Um, it's always been coined as the workhorse championship and he has been putting in fantastic matches to retain and defend that title. So congratulations to Gunther a.k.a. Walter for getting that momentous achievement. We're going to check out this article from inside the ropes, man. This is just fantastic. And I think a lot of us expected this to happen. Um, so we're going to check this out. Uh, Gunther has officially overtaken though the hunky tongue man as WWE longest reigning intercontinental champion of all time. It's a record that stood for a staggering 35 years. Mammoth names in the sport of professional wrestling have held the intercontinental title, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Roman Reigns. Even though, you know, I don't think many people remember Roman Reigns is intercontinental championship run, but none could surpass the hunky tongue man's lengthy reign. It was a 1987 episode of superstars of wrestling where the hunky tongue man defeated Ricky steamboat for the WWF intercontinental championship. His record setting reign extended into 1988 when the ultimate warrior eventually stopped him in just 31 seconds at SummerSlam. That's crazy. A legendary reign engine 31 seconds. That's crazy. Overall, the hunky tongue man record set for set at 454 days. That's until today when the current intercontinental champion Gunther has officially reached the 455th day with the strap. It has not been an easy road for Gunther to reach the milestone since defeating Ricochet on July 10th of June 20, 22 edition of Smackdown. Gunther has successfully defended the championship on 67 occasions. If you count the house shows, okay, I was about to say. Damn, I didn't know it was 67 occasions, but if you count the house shows, that makes sense. Damn, that's a lot of defenses. Names like Rey Mysterio, Shinsuke, Nakamura and most recently Chad Gable. He's had some fantastic matches with him have attended to defeat Gunther for the title along the way, but the ring general has dispatched them one by one to finally earning the right to become the longest reigning intercontinental champion of all time. There's no there are no signs of his reign coming to an end. Either either Gunther defeated Chad Gable in a 16 minute epic on this week's Monday Night Raw. He now awaits his next challenger safe in the knowledge that with every day he holds on to the intercontinental championship, a new record is set. This isn't Gunther's only longest reign for those who don't know. It is often forgotten that Gunther isn't just the longest reigning intercontinental champion back in 2019 when he wrestled under the name, under the name Walter, he defeated Pete Dunn for the WWE United Kingdom Championship. Walter would hold hold the championship for eight hundred and seventy days before losing it to Illyana drag Illyana. I can always mess up his name. Illya Illya dragging off. I think I'm still mispronouncing at NXT takeover 36 fantastic match. Got a chance to watch that just five star classic. His reign was record setting and will seemingly remain that way as the belt was unified with the NXT Championship in 2022. But yeah, man, this the guy deserves it, bro. He's put on some of the best work we've seen in WWE, at least on the main roster. Dude, it's just his work rate is fantastic. Dude came in Vince was wanted to see what he can do, but he wanted him to lose weight. He lost the weight came in did what Vince asked him to do and they put the they put the strap on him. I mean, Vince put the strap on believe before he left that he was the Intercontinental Champion before he left before he quote unquote retired Vince retired and he came back. But man, this is fantastic. And this is how you need to book. But it's simple. He's he's a guy that barely loses. He is. He has not been. Uh, I don't think he's taking a pinfall. Yeah, he hasn't taken a pinfall loss on the main roster and I think whenever he does and needs to be the somebody that they're going to have, you know, be the next guy up in the midcard division. The guy is a formidable opponent. One thing I like about his title reign is he doesn't need to cheat to win and I can appreciate that. It's okay if a heel does cheat to win, but it makes it even better when they just beat out the baby face clean because then it's like, damn, he he's just he's just better than him at that moment. And when they do cheat, it gives that it gives the cheating factor that that extra extra to it or or it enhances the baby face's story. Um, their fight because it's like, damn, Walter, not Walter going to have to cheat to finally beat this person. Like he couldn't beat him on his own, which makes the baby face look that much stronger that a strong heel has to resort to anything to finally beat that person. So and we haven't seen him on television have to really resort to cheating as much. He can literally beat people clean and I appreciate that. He'll he'll sent. He'll tell his his, uh, Imperium brother brethren to go in the back. I can take care of this and I love that he's down to fight whenever whoever he doesn't care and I appreciate that. I appreciate it. Honestly, I just don't see you. I don't see him dropping that title for a while. I don't see anybody. Um, I was thinking maybe Chad Gable at some point, but they may have to revisit that later down the road. But honestly, he's beaten damn near almost everybody. So I don't I don't right now. I can't see anybody taking that off him. I know some people are like Jay and it's like, I think the story with Jay, if he was to do that, that would be very interesting. And it's just a timing with that. I don't think Jay should come in and just beat him first say, but yet I know they're trying to build up something for WrestleMania. Obviously Jay versus Jimmy at WrestleMania. That's the story that they're going to want to tell. So you don't really have unless you have him win relatively soon. Jay win relatively soon, only for him to have a short title reign, unless the Intercontinental Championship will be on the line between the brothers, which I don't think a title should be on the line for the brothers to have a match at WrestleMania. So that's why I say time and wise, I don't know if I would go with Jay to be the one of the throne Roman. Would that be impressive? I mean that would be. I mean, his record precedes him. He's the only one that's paying Roman Reigns in the past three years. So if there's anybody that could get the job done, maybe Jay, he's on the streak of pinning people that don't get pinned that much. So I don't know. It'd be quite interesting to see if that is the situation that goes forward. But honestly, as it stands right now, I think Gunther is in a great position. I don't think he should be losing it anytime soon. That's just my personal opinion outside of maybe Jay, but that's they would have to build up to that. I don't I don't think that should be rushed. But right now Gunther is doing some great fantastic work. Most of his Intercontinental Championship matches are damn near best of the show highlight of the show must watch. It's rare that you see a match from Gunther that you just is boring. Like he knows how to make the baby faces look good. He knows how to, you know, sell. He knows how to make things look believable. And the dude legitimately is out there beating the crap out of people and it's entertaining as hell. His matches are brutal entertaining and he's he will go down as one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time. And we are we are truly blessed and lucky to be able to say if there's anybody that deserves a long title reign, a lengthy title reign and has been putting that Intercontinental Championship in those matches for all of us to see and been putting in the great work. If there's anybody that deserves it, it's Gunther man. So congratulations to him looking forward to seeing how long this record how long this record stands. I think it's going to stand for a while depending on how long he holds it. He may hold it for as long as this NXT his United Kingdom Championship. He may hold it just as long as that. So and it may never get broken because I don't see nobody for a long time breaking this record. You know, the record is still at the test of time for almost 30 plus years. So I don't see anyone's breaking this for a very long time, nor should they since Gunther. He's he's a legit as they come when it comes to the wrestling world, man. So comment down below.
