10 Most Realistic Wrestlers In The World Right Now

The artist formerly known as WALTER could be slotted into any era of professional wrestling and fit like a glove. With his imposing frame, skin-breaking chops and traditionalist heel schtick, ‘The Ring General’ is everything a heavyweight grappler should be.

Carrying himself with conviction, the Imperium frontman is a gifted storyteller between the ropes. Brawling like a sadistic brute, the former indie king mixes his vicious, clubbing blows with gruelling chokeholds and boston crabs to wear his opponents down.

Coupled with the slow burn pace he employs in singles contests, GUNTHER’s style is reminiscent of legendary bruisers like Terry Gordy and Shinya Hashimoto. When hoisting his foes up, the big man appears to have difficulty. This isn’t from a lack of strength so much as commitment to craft. By making everything look like a struggle, OTT’s most hated former champion ensures everything continues to look competitive rather than cohesive.

Presenting himself near perfectly as a high fight IQ monster, GUNTHER (will anyone ever get used to that name?) could serve as a fantastic foil for WWE’s finest. He has the psychology, selling and hard-grafting offence required to suspend audience disbelief and immerse them in the story being told. For beloved top dogs like Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns, his grounded work would make for refreshingly organic feuds in the house that McMahon built.
