Opinion: Gunther's opponent is not a SummerSlam worthy world title match

[Smart Marx]

It's all good yeah

also, I was off a little on my number. 5 did it instead of 3

Bayley and Liv both did it also. but that doesn't make it much of a difference as its still way more who didn't. So that just me correcting myself, not trying to make a point haha. Well, 6 now in total but yeah

I assumed the women’s ones were going to be higher because I don’t think Vince cared to book out the plan for it lmao

I would agree they will continue to keep it. I would like it off its own ppv and used to help enhance others. It can also be useful in situation where they are using it to build someone up and in the case the champion gets injured they can pull that trigger to move the title also could be used to transition on to the next champ if the current champions reign is lagging or stinking.

I don't like the KOR getting an auto title shot though. Make the King special the last two who felt special was Macho Man and Booker T. Everyone else I have forgotten or I wanted them to disappear (looking at you Barron Corbin, Sorry OMB).

Even the ones not the same night didn't hold it long either I believe cept maybe like 2? let me see if I can find that stat

Alexa, Bayley, Liv same night

Asuka did for a day(but that was because Becky was pregnant and turns out the MITB was just for the title lmao)

Nikki A.S.H also a day

Iyo for 35 days(for some reason it felt longer lol but i knew it wasn't)

so legit the only one to hold it long was Carmella who held it 287 days which also is the longest anyone has held it between men and women so yeah, Vince surely didn't care to book it like you said.

And priest isn’t a workhorse

No.

Priest wrestled 100 matches in 2023. Rollins 106.

Priest is most definitely a workhorse for WWE.

Not in kayfabe.

 

[Smart Marx]

Not in kayfabe.

What does that even mean?

 

[Storm Trooper]

Not in kayfabe.

It has been mentioned on TV before that Priest has been wrestling all the time. It's not his character but dude wresles all the time. In 2024 he's doubled up Rollins.

Also Seth being a "workhorse" in kayfabe is just a character. That doesn't mean he's the only workhorse. Also if we got by kayfabe Gunther is hardly a workhorse. Gunther is a Final Boss who has his minions (Vinci and Kaiser, now just Kaiser) do his bidding.

You know that just made something click for me.

Trips could easily turn Money in the Bank a 6 man Ladder match for the title proper every so often to switch it up.

Gunther is definitely a workhorse.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Priest has 100% wrestled more matches this year than Gunther has.

 

[BillyBob42]

What does that even mean?

In character.

 

[BillyBob42]

Priest has 100% wrestled more matches this year than Gunther has.

Not from what I've seen.

 

[Storm Trooper]

Gunther is definitely a workhorse.

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.

 

[Smart Marx]

In character.

I’m gonna need a little bit more than that. Explain to me how a character that wrestles 102 times a year and doesn’t want interference in his matches isn’t a workhorse?
