While he would debut for NXT UK in 2019 under the name Walter, Austrian pro wrestler Walter Hahn would have his name changed in January 2022 to Gunther due to WWE’s policy of wanting to own talents ring-names. And while this was initially controversial, especially as initially he was going to have the surname “Stark,” which meant he would share a name with a Nazi U-boat commander, over time, it has become accepted by most. And now, while being interviewed by Fightful Select, the current World Heavyweight Champion and King of the Ring has addressed his name change, noting that most people now know him by his new name. 36-year-old Gunther, real name Walter Hahn, broke into the business in 2005 and signed with WWE in 2019 after making his name in Europe. Subsequently, he became the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history at 666 days, having defeated Ricochet on SmackDown for the championship in June 2022. However, his greatest career achievement occurred at this past weekend’s SummerSlam when he defeated Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Gunther Comments On His WWE Name Change

– Bryan Danielson (via Gorilla Position) says he’s never had a boss like Tony Khan:. “Tony’s super kind. He’s a super kind human being and I haven’t had a boss like that. I had a great relationship with Vince and with Hunter and when I was in Ring of Honor, I had a great relationship with Gabe Sapolsky.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
