The Intercontinental Championship is one of the most prestigious titles in WWE’s history. Back in the day, the title was so important that it was second to only the World Championship title. Becoming a proven testing ground for many stars, legends over the years have carried it around their shoulders with pride. One of them is current-day champion, Gunther.

But Gunther isn’t just any other star, he is the star to break the longest-reigning record of all time. While many speak about the title’s history, The Ring General is busy with the present instead.

Gunther snubs legendary Intercontinental Champions of the past

Gunther has been known to be true to his heel persona and appear standoffish, especially to his opponents. In an exclusive interview with Gunther during a press conference for Superstar Spectacle, we spoke to the champion about reaching this legacy-defining achievement. Keeping with his persona, he only had a few words for us, straight to the mic. “I don’t live in the past. Everybody, they all had their runs, it’s my time now,” he said.
