I was at Revenge of the 'Taker. I was one if the 14k that were underwhelmed by Rockabilly.

It was probably nearly impossible for anybody to make it into the main event card with how loaded it was in 1999-2002, just way too damn loaded.

I just feel like Billy seemed to change gimmicks but never added more layers to his character persona work. Rock started off as rocky mavia, got some heel polish in the nation, added charisma and confidence to his character as the leader of the nation, and then he built the mean streak with Foley, and every other part he added to his persona. Not every wrestler goes into that detail, but the shine comes from the polished work

I love me some Billy Gunn! He and Chyna were my favorite DX members!

Fully agree on the "Rockabilly" gimmick was a step down from The Smokin Gunns tag team. Even as a 13 year old at the time, my mindset was "what the hell is Billy thinking?"

Billy Gunn was just one of those guys who was always better paired up with someone instead of him being solo and I think his career speaks to that. I remember his ill-fated feud with The Rock and how even has a kid in 1999 I just felt like there was something missing and why was Bully Gunn Feuding with The Rock? It made no sense to me at that time. The DX copy right feud might not have been great but it was a million times better than when WCW did it with Harlem Heat and the right to use the letter T in Booker T's name.

You don’t take someone who’s uncomfortable when he’s not moving in the ring (Gunn) and out him up against The Rock. That’s like feeding a canary to a lion.

One thing I’ve seen Pritchard bring up in the past is Gunn’s asthma causing some reluctance to put him in bigger singles matches. Not so much out of concern for his health, but because they thought “what if we book him in a 25-30 minute main event and he gets completely blown up halfway through?”

Boy oh boy, talk about a guy Vince McMahon had no clue how to book....

Now this is the family friendly content pro wrestling has always been about. WB you are a hero.

Mick Foley said once that one of the MacMahons asked him how to get Billy Gunn over. Is that a serious question? To get him (or anyone) over who isn't shooting off the page with charisma, you treat him like 1999 Triple H. Get him new gear. Then get him new music. Change it again. Change his hair. More importantly, he wins matches every week. Then he wins more matches just like Triple H. Doubt my plan, JBL in 2005 was just some fatty in a sleeveless APA tshirt then they gave him the Triple H treatment and he mainevented wrestlemania. Another case in point. Batista in 2005. He was literally given the Triple H treatment by Triple H himself.

Billy couldn't talk. Road dogg had the charisma. Just about every gimmick he had it usually came with a manager or spokes person. In hind sight they should've put him in matches with Foley or Al Snow in a hardcore setting so he could play to his strengths- having good matches.

They needed a guy like Bret Hart who could put guys over without damaging his own brand. Rock couldn't or wouldn't do it. Guerrro or Benoit seemed like a good choice but by the time they came it was too late for Billy.

@@gregmatic2861 Oh I absolutely agree. But you can't just throw anybody in the situation with a star and expect it to work. I think it never worked for Gunn or Venis cause they had a ceiling. The building of new stars just barely worked for Jericho and Benoit in 2000, and they're ten steps above Gunn. It took a while for it to work for Guerrero too. It worked quickly for Angle, but he's a freak. WWE had a big problem in 99/00 with making new stars, because the guys on top were so protective of their spots. HHH then took that mentality into the "reign of terror". It's no surprise that most of the new stars of 02-08 were made on SmackDown

One of my childhood favourites! Cheers mate! Also how could I forget his magnificent haircuts

I appreciated this, because I remember when they did "The One" gimmick, I actually thought he might do decent as a singles wrestler... then I quickly saw he was enhancing others, as it were. Billy Gunn was a good to great talent surrounded by legendary talent, so overall, I definitely agree with your analysis. The fact is we all remember him, and Billy was part of memorable moments.

So, rumor has it he was suppose to be the one to run Stone Cold down (good amount of evidence to prove it through out the story line) but then his arm injury held him back, also didn't help he was on Chynas side between her and Triple H.

If Billy had a Heyman-type mouthpiece, he might've made it on his own. There was a reason Road Dogg did 95% of their talking. Also, the name "Mr. Ass" was always stupid.

Once The Rock opened his mouth to run him down it was game over after that. You just couldn't take Billy Gunn seriously ever.

I had forgotten how jacked Billy Gunn was

I remember during the Austin vs. Ministry years they had a few QVC-style merchandise shows following episodes of RAW. At the time Billy was doing his Mr. Ass gimmick but the QVC show wasn’t allowed to say “ass” so they referred to him as “Mr. Posterior”. If the merchandise sellers can’t even say your name to help sell your merch...it’s time for a new name.

Yep. Rock is literally one of the best of all time on the mic, those who could hang with him are literally a handful of people, Austin and Foley for two. Billy could never ever come back from that.

I remember those bootleg WWF music CDs had the off brand version off wrestlers entrance music 🤣 that's what the intro reminds me of great video love these!

Spot on as ever bro.Thank you.

I see a wrestling bios video..I watch.. best thing about wrestling these days

He performed at a local indy show around me a few years ago. He was super entertaining. He really knows how to get the crowd into what he is doing when he is given the opportunity. He was really good at reacting to how the crowd was reacting. If they crowd popped, he would stop and slow things down to let it breath. If they crowd started to get quiet, he would call some fast bang bang spots to get everyone back up. He is a great pro. Just got lost in the shuffle with so many guys battling it out to be main eventers during most of his WWF/WWE career. Loved him in Smokin. Gunz, New Age Outlaws, and even Billy and Chuck.

Man, that prayer to God by Rock is so good, yet man it killed any chance of Billy being taken serious as a solo guy! He was not really good on the mic, but he still looks good and can work well into his 50s.

I think the Smoking Gunns was the best WWF team of the nineties, way better than the Outlaws. Billy and Bart had great chemistry together and their move list was spectacular.

Great video and breakdown. Billy Gunn was a great wrestler

Billy Gunn. One of the best ever!

I saw Billy Gun at a local promotion here in my town, hornswoggle former wwe wrestler is from my city and he has been doing this promotion called Acw ever since he left, he gets tons of big names all the time, Billy gun was super fun, still had the fire passion and drive for the fans and the sport, he was nice enough to talk with everyone take pictures and signed things for people at no charge, he looked jacked out of his mind still lol.

As a kid I always wanted see The "Dark Riders"... It was my fantasy stable... Undertaker would be the leader, Smoking Gunns would be dressed in all Black, and Tatanka Would be dressed in all Black Regalia and war paint... Billy was and is a Great Wrestler...

I LOVE the "I Got It All" theme

Billy had the talent of a world champion but I felt his legacy will be as a member of DX and the New Age Outlaws. Don't get me wrong I loved them along with the smoking gunns but part of that also was I felt he didn't have the personality for a bigger push. Then I thought about the segments with the Rock and buried his push after he won King of The Ring.. The man looks great at his age and still moves like he was in his prime.

Billy Gunn is one of my favorites and one of my absolute favorite tag team players.

Speaking of King of the Ring - was it ever a real indicator of big push? Bret got a Jerry Lawler feud out of his win, Owen was in the midst of the feud with Bret and it was basically an angle for it, it took Bret Hart to turn Stone Cold on the next level not KOTR win. Triple H kinda had but it really started in 98. Shamrock got nothing out of his win, same with Gunn.

But God my name is Billy... IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!!!

Chuck and Billy were so good didnt need that gimmick to get over especially at the time where wrestling mattered more

1st best youtube wrestling show!

It was funny as a kid to watch him he was smooth in the ring for sure

I think Billy Gunn should have had a lengthier Intercontinental title reign or a few more short Intercontinental title reigns but when I think of Billy Gunn or Road Dogg I tend to think of them together as the New Age Outlaws because they are my favorite tag team of all time.

The Rock destroyed Billy's push, there was no way he could recover from it
