Gunther says he received the most painful chop from an AEW star
Gunther is known for being one of the most vicious men in the ring. He has delivered some of the most painful-looking chops to his opponents that sometimes even leave their bodies crimson red. However, the most painful chop received was from an AEW star.
During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, The Ring General was asked about the most painful chop he has ever received. He pointed to a chop he received from Pentagon Jr. during one of their matches in the wXw World Tag Team League tournament back in 2018.
"I was shocked one time – I remember I wrestled in Germany back then. I was wrestling Pentagon, actually, and I chopped him, and he chopped me once, and I was bleeding right away. It was like, 'What? What is going on?' Some of the Mexican colleagues are gonna say they chop like it's, the movement is a little bit like it's a whip, if that makes sense. It's because they chop from overhand, and most of them do. That is painful, I gotta say." [h/t Chris Van Vliet]
Maybe fans will get to witness another match between Gunther and Penta if he joins WWE.
