Early WWE Experiences and Challenges Kaiser Faced
Gunther detailed the path Kaiser took before breaking through in WWE, explaining that Kaiser arrived earlier in the company than he did and had to start from scratch in NXT, despite having years of wrestling experience in Europe. Gunther described how Kaiser set aside his pride to work hard in unfamiliar territory, adapting to the demanding expectations of WWE’s developmental system.
“So he had to kind of like — that was the thing for him. Because he came in before [the point where] when you were already somebody on the indies, you could come into NXT and have a better position already. And he came in basically before that. The indies haven’t really taken that much off in Europe, and also the system was still a little bit different. So he had to start from zero in NXT, and just do that whole thing. So like he really swallowed his pride on that. And I respect him for how he’s done it, because he was already wrestling like — I don’t know, seven years, eight years when he signed. And then start from zero, like learn how to roll, and learn how to take a beating and stuff.”
