In his first interview since retiring John Cena, Gunther
told TMZ’s Inside The Ring that it felt really good retiring
Cena and he’s coming up for his 20th anniversary as a
wrestler and can say that these 20 years were all a work to
make John Cena tap out!
Gunther said that he could feel the tense atmosphere all
day, even backstage as for some it was as big as
WrestleMania that night.
The Austrian star mentioned how he had to be escorted to his
tour bus which was parked outside the Capital One Arena and
he could feel the anger from fans who clearly wanted to see
John win and get that feel good moment.
“You don’t always get what you want,” Gunther said, adding
that he wanted to embrace the heat and felt good “walking
through the anger” following the show being followed by
fans.
Gunther described his win against Cena as the biggest and
most meaningful of his career, and definitely the one with
the biggest reaction afterward.
“It’s hard to compare it to anything else,” Gunther said,
noting that Cena is a legendary figure in WWE and also
outside the ring.
He said this win is enough to brag about it for the rest of
his career and told fans to suck it up.
Asked what message he can give to fans to offer a “peace of
mind,” Gunther replied, “Stop crying. It’s okay, life goes
on!”
