Under the leadership of Triple H, Gunther has been presented as a top-star, and had a record-breaking Intercontinental Title reign.

Speaking on Gorilla Position, Gunther was asked if he believes he would have had a similar reign if Vince McMahon was still in charge of WWE creative, and this is what The Ring General had to say:

"I don't know, but it was one of the reasons why, for a long time I didn't want to go to the US. The product before Triple H was not what I enjoyed. I just didn't want to be part of that. I am who I am and that's what I can do best. A big part of that is I need to have my time in the ring and have that time to put on the matches I can put on. That chance would not be there under the old regime. With Triple H, he always saw that in me, and he always had that vision for me. I got lucky that a lot of things in my career took place at the right time. It was a little bit of a leap of faith when I first made the move over. Everything worked out in the end…”

Gunther now has his eyes set on becoming King of the Ring next month.

H/T – Fightful
