not in your world where only workhorses are described in character as workhorses.

In your world where a workhorse is only a workhorse if it is in his character Gunther is the exact opposite, he's a coward.


Now in the real world I know Gunther is a talented performer who will put on a good match whenever he is on, which is more often than most. However his character is the opposite of a workhorse.
Not every match Gunther had ended with him needing help, he's found a way to beat guys clean as a whistle.

You mean like he did Jey Uso?

That’s not what he means. He means that the character avoids matches like the plague.

this. Lord knows when Gunther is in the ring he's dangerous AF. But his character runs from matches thus making him the antithesis of a workhorse.


Workhorses aren't about clean wins, they're about having matches.

Has Gunther even had a match on TV since KOTR?

no. Just a random House Show in Illinois at the end of June.

And I'd be willing to bet that workhorse won't have a TV match before SummerSlam. MAYBE 1 if we're lucky.

Now this guy is upset because Priest isn’t a workhorse in kayfabe (which in of itself isn’t even true)

Talk about grasping for straws

I can't recall him ever running from matches with the exception of the Strowman one.

If y'all hate my opinions so much, why are y'all still here? Who's holding the gun to your head? I think some of yall's reactions have been a bit over blown, not everyone is gonna look forward to the same matches y'all do.

So, even from just that one example should disqualify him as a workhorse should it not? If you’re the fighting champion you don’t turn down any challenge.

Why would he waste his energy when he's got a big time match to prepare for? At best, he'd just be doing squash matches.

No, turning down one challenge means nothing.

You created a discussion topic to create discussion and people are just simply disagreeing with you.

I think the main issue is you often will state some thing, but then won’t really expound on it. Like I asked you what you meant by Priesr not being a workhorse and you haven’t explained.
