EXCLUSIVE: Ilja Dragunov Says A Paper Cut Between The Fingers Hurts More Than One Of GUNTHER's Chops

It's widely known that a paper cut in the wrong place can cause an enormous amount of pain, particularly if you manage to slice in between your fingers while placing some paper in a printer. Many would still say the pain is slightly better than being chopped incredibly hard in the chest by an Austrian but one of those people isn't Ilja Dragunov.

During a game of 'What Hurts More?' with Cultaholic Wrestling's Tom Campbell, Dragunov stated that a paper cut hurts more than a chop from Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER.

"Oh my goodness, that's a good question. To be honest, I've got to take the paper cut because the second thing I'm looking forward to," Dragunov said.

Don't be surprised if GUNTHER's chops are extra hard next time Der Ring General goes one-on-one with Dragunov. The two men have a storied history in WWE, having faced off on multiple occasions for the NXT UK Title. Dragunov even ended GUNTHER's 870-day reign as NXT UK Champion at 2021's NXT TakeOver 36.

Rumours had suggested that Dragunov was under consideration as a new member of Imperium within WWE creative but the man himself revealed exclusively to Cultaholic Wrestling that he has no interest in linking up with GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci.
