The Undertaker might be done lacing up his boots — but if one man could’ve pulled him back into the ring, it was Gunther.
On the latest episode of WWE’s Six Feet Under show, the Deadman sat down with Gunther and co-host Mo for a rare, open chat about in-ring psychology, physical storytelling, and respect. As the conversation turned toward fantasy booking a WrestleMania showdown between the two, Undertaker made a surprising admission.
“If I had anything left in the tank, you’re the one guy that I would consider coming out of retirement to work with.”
Gunther, never one to miss an opening, smirked and replied with a jab of his own:
“Honestly, I would’ve pushed it just to see how far I could go with the chops before things fall apart.”
The two shared a laugh, clearly connecting over their love for no-nonsense brutality in the ring. Taker went on to describe the match they could have had — one that would’ve built slowly and methodically before turning into a war.
“No, man, we would’ve… it would’ve been a really good match, I think. Slow, methodic… until it wasn’t.”
Gunther nodded, adding:
“It would’ve been good.”
They wrapped the discussion by agreeing that their shared emphasis on physicality, psychology, and realism would’ve made the matchup a perfect fit — especially at a show like WrestleMania, where larger-than-life storytelling thrives.
It’s not every day The Undertaker throws around that kind of praise, and for Gunther, it’s a sign that his work hasn’t just grabbed fans’ attention — it’s earned the respect of one of the greatest legends to ever step in the ring.
