[@mr.k7475]

the reason why walter is my most favorite wrestler in the current era is in spite of being a big guy, he doesn't only rely on his size and strength like most big wrestlers do. It's his technic, ruthlessly aggressive wrestling tactics and European style of wrestling that makes him one of the, if not the best of present time.

[@LordDeBahs]

oldschool technic style looks good for guy of his size suprisngly . he reminds me regal or finlay with ring work while looks even more dangerous (but still green) . he is one of few that can save prowrestling thats for sure in future

[@EirinYagokoro]

Today, Ospreay is the IWGP US Heavyweight champion while WALTER (now Gunther) is the WWE Intercontinental champion. Props to both

[@streetmagik3105]

It's crazy to me that Ospreay isn't even 30 years old. He's not even in his prime yet, and I think he's probably the best in the world!

[@erictapia1772]

Freddy Bell me also

[@sloothlothos1]

Me three. Dude looks like a great in-ring worker and another thing I've noticed about him is although he appears to physically "manhandle" his opponents (by using mostly power moves, which I love) he is very safe and professional as far as the way he treats the other guys bodies. If I was working with him I would have a higher level of trust because of his professionalism. It really caught my attention in another video that showed like 25 of Walter's best moves. I'm impressed with his skill level and technical prowess. I'm sure WWE is too...they need guys like that because of all the injuries that company has been plagued with over the past few years. Walter is probably a breath of fresh air for them.

I feel that the term "absolute classic" is used pretty lightly nowadays but this definitely was one, an extremely enjoyable bout between these two young guys.
