Love Chad Gable getting some recognition too

Much deserved. Dude’s great and definitely doesn't get enough love.

It was actually Gable's most pushed and successful year too but I love that there's still a desire for more

I want him and Gunther to run it back.

But at the same time there’s like 3 other guys I’d be hype for dethroning Gunther
