World Heavyweight Champion Gunther Says Former WWE Star Should Be On A Bigger Stage

World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has named the former WWE star he believes would be on a bigger stage if they diverted their ‘core values’.

New World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has commented on the influence that former WWE star Timothy Thatcher has had on his career.

Thatcher competed for NXT in 2020 and 2021 prior to his release from the company, with him now competing for various promotions such as Pro Wrestling NOAH, MLW and GCW.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, the Ring General commented on Thatcher, noting that he believes he would be on a bigger stage right now if he was able to ‘divert away’ from some of his core values.

He said:

“I think Tim would be on a bigger stage right now if he would divert away from some of his core values and accept professional wrestling for what it is on the big stage.

“As much as I enjoyed that gritty, catch-as-catch-can shoot-style wrestling with no smoke and mirrors, the reality is that it isn’t going to draw the attention of a lot and lot of people in 2024. At the end of the day, what we do is a business.

“But I respect that he does what makes him happy. You can have all the money in the world, but if you’re not happy, then that’s pretty useless.”
