Vince Russo, former head writer of WWE RAW during its peak in the late 1990s, shared his insights into the upcoming WWE Draft. Set to kick off on SmackDown on April 26 and conclude on RAW on April 29, Russo explained his top pick, Gunther.
In a mock draft session on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Writing With Russo, Russo revealed Gunther as his top choice, emphasizing the need for some character rebuilding.
Referring to Gunther’s recent Intercontinental Championship loss at WrestleMania XL, Russo expressed his confidence in the wrestler despite recent setbacks.
Gunther, despite nearing two decades in the wrestling industry, remains a youthful 36-year-old talent with immense potential. Recognized as a top star in the industry, he is poised to make a mark in the main-event scene in the future.
Dr. Chris Featherstone, the host, echoed Russo’s sentiments, emphasizing Gunther’s reliability and future prospects as a top-tier performer.
Last year, Imperium, featuring Gunther, Giovanni Vinci, and Ludwig Kaiser, made a significant move to RAW during the draft. However, with recent tensions within the group, particularly Kaiser’s attack on Vinci, it remains uncertain whether they will remain together in this year’s draft.
Stay tuned for more updates on the WWE Draft and the potential impact of Gunther’s selection in reshaping the wrestling terrain.
