A major secret that Gunther tried to keep hidden has now been revealed.

The Ring General’s commitment to his gimmick has recently been a topic of discussion between WWE analyst Sam Roberts and Chris Van Vliet.

Roberts claimed that the former World Heavyweight Champion is the most committed star to staying in character since The Undertaker. The comment led Van Vliet to recall a surprising experience with The Ring General during an interview a few years ago.

Gunther’s Real Character Exposed

Chris Van Vliet disclosed that he was surprised to find that Gunther, one of the most serious WWE characters on TV, is actually funny off-camera.

He noted that the contrast between The Ring General’s on-screen and off-screen personalities threw a lot of people off. Sam Roberts agreed, confirming that the former World Heavyweight Champion is humorous in real life.

Van Vliet: I did an interview with him a few years ago, and he was shockingly funny. And it threw a lot of people off because they’re like, ‘Wait a second. That guy who’s so serious, who’s an absolute killer in the ring is funny.’

Roberts: He’s funny.
