Gunther thinks ‘underratedly charismatic’ Ludwig Kaiser would be a great actor
Gunther believes his “best friend” Ludwig Kaiser has huge potential both in and out of the ring.
The Ring General praised Kaiser on the latest episode of “What Do You Wanna Talk About?,” calling him underratedly charismatic and a very talented person. He thinks Kaiser could use those talents outside of wrestling and pursue opportunities in Hollywood.
“Yeah, 100 percent,” Gunther responded when Cody Rhodes asked if he thinks Kaiser is capable of big things. “I think he’s underratedly charismatic and he’s a really good talker. Like, I always tell him, it’s like, you need to go to Hollywood at some point, because he’s got something for the whole acting thing. Like, I always tell him, I think he would have been an amazing, like, theater actor or something like that. Because he’s very talented with languages, too.
“So, yeah, very, very, very talented person. When it comes to the wrestling side, yeah, of course.”
Though Rhodes does not know Kaiser that well personally, he loves watching Kaiser perform and agreed with Gunther that he has big potential in WWE.
Gunther said Kaiser is someone who is good at keeping him grounded and putting things in perspective. Outside of his friendship with Kaiser, Paul Heyman has given Gunther good advice on the big picture of pro wrestling.
Kaiser and Gunther were formerly stablemates in Imperium. They are not aligned on-screen anymore with Kaiser playing the character El Grande Americano and feuding with the original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable). Kaiser also regularly competes in Lucha Libre AAA with his Americano gimmick.
