I don't think there is anything to say

[Akira]

In spite of all the sexually charged threads I've seen on this board, when I saw the title I knew exactly what this thread was gonna be about :lol:

[Lyfeforce]

Maleev is waiting for your yearly tribute, serf;).

[The Dean]

I thought this was going to be more along the lines of, "It was a 1-in-a-million shot, doc."

[KingMob]

I don't think there is anything to say

I'm an aaasss man! buuum buum

[Ziolko]

His finisher used to be the Fam-Asser.

Seriously.

Not as bad as the Booty-Man from WCW (former Brutus the Barber Beefcake).

His finisher was a high knee to the face, called "The Hi-Ney".

Seriously.

Pro-wrestling is so weird.

[Corwin: Bear Fighter]

Does he love to stick 'em? Because that specific lyric always bewildered me.

[KingMob]

In spite of all the sexually charged threads I've seen on this board, when I saw the title I knew exactly what this thread was gonna be about :lol:

years ago at a house show here he was on the card, i was sitting right by the runway and screamed "I'm an ass man!" at the top of my lungs right at him. good times.

[Whip]

"The best surprises always get them from behind!"

[modungo]

Does he love to stick 'em? Because that specific lyric always bewildered me.

The lyrics are vague. I assume the actions he took differed depending on the gender of the ass. If not, well, maybe the thing with Chuck wasn't fake...

[The Robot Lord of Tokyo]

The funny thing about Billy Gunn is that without the microphone work that Roaddog did when they were the New-Age Outlaws, his career would still be in the shitter. Remember when he was in the Smoking Gunns with his "brother" Bart? Remember that god awful couple of months when he was "Rockabilly"?
And after Roaddog left? He was stuck pretending to be gay with Chuck.
A forgetful career if there ever was one.

Wait, I take that back. Alex Wright had the most forgetful career of all time. My bad.

[ClintP]

I was expecting to see a picture of Cosmo Kramer... I was disapointed.

[NickT]

I remember when he was a cowboy.

Say what you will, but he had the best "falling out of the corner" sell I've ever seen

[KingMob]

quality stuff, right up there when HHH tried to hump the undertaker's dead girlfriend in the coffin, or sexual chocolate bedded moolah down, or the vince mcmahon kiss my ass club....

Forgetful? Who could forget the Wunderkid's dance?

[The Robot Lord of Tokyo]

Better then Ric Flair? Blasphemy!!!!!

[Akira]

Better then Ric Flair? Blasphemy!!!!!

Gunn was better because he could switch it up a bit, and had absolutely no reguard for his own health. How he never broke his nose is beyond me.

[The Robot Lord of Tokyo]

Alex Wright was a 6 foot 5 inch tall wrestler. The guy was so forgettable that Bishoff made him compete in the Cruiser weight division because he had no idea who the hell he was.

[Corey A.]

Didn't he & his former tag partner win a award from one of the gay/lesbian organization?

[KingMob]

him and Palumbo? dont know....

[xanderharris]

what about when he won the king of the ring and became "King Ass"


or when UPN told them they couldnt use the word ass so he was renamed "The One" Billy Gunn

sigh

[Damian696]

... and then Alex and DDP had a little brainstorming, and the result was

:D :rofl: :D

[Bryan H]

Ahh, Berlyn.

And his tag team partner, The Wall.

[xanderharris]

Ahh, Berlyn.

And his tag team partner, The Wall.

then became A Wall. Aka AWOL in the Misfits In Action....greatest gimmick ever.

[KingMob]

slapnuts!

[Whip]

My favorite was during the whole, "Triple H gets mad and breaks a $10000 camera" thing (I think it was during the invasion?) and he says to Billy, "Well, how you're with Chuck, now I know why they call you Mr. Ass." (Or something like that?)

Pretty funny. :lol:

OMG...I have a picture of the "Smoking Guns" after a match....I took the picture at the best moment. They had leaned in and gave each other a quick pat on each others back, but the picture I took looks like they were having a very loving embrace. :lol: Hawwwwwwwwwwtttttttt!!!!!!! :lol:

[Foolish Mortal]

I always wondered why Billy Gunn couldn't get to the "next level". He seemed to have enough talent and the right look, but he just never seemed to get over enough to reach superstar status.

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

Come to Papa.

[Masculine Todd]

I'm going to get all serious and analytical on you here, as Billy Gunn was always rife for parody:

Bad Ass (later, Mr. Ass) Billy Gunn and Road Dogg Jessie James should have been one wrestler. If they were, Gunn would be a consistent upper-main eventer in the WWE today.

JR always used to hype Gunn as "the best pure athelete in the WWE." I believe he meant this insofar as Gunn had the "look" of a bankable superstar. He was a good size, great physical build, decent looking blonde who, for all intents and purposes worked well in the ring. He was a solid all-arounder. Not a technical wiz, not a high-flier, but a good performer. Unfortunately, he was devoid of all charisma. Now for some workhorses like Benoit, that can be worked around, but that's because Benoit is one of the best technical wrestlers in the business and is notorious for putting on consistently spectacular wrestling matches with almost anyone. He's a go-to guy. Gunn, while again being a solid mat worker, didn't have stylized or flashy aerial moves or technical brilliance to rely on. He just had the "look."

Paired with Road Dogg, who was an out-of-shape and extremely minimalist performer in the ring, he was great, as RD was a showman - a masterful mic performer and could always get fans engaged and into their performance. These two as a tag team were wonderful, because each man had their specialized abilities.

Once they split, neither gained the prominence they once carried under the New Age Outlaws; Road Dogg because he was an extremely sub-par ring worker and Gunn because he had no personality at all. The bookers continually gave Gunn shot-after-shot to get over though. In '99 he won the King of the Ring, was the established heel due to breaking up the highly popular tag team with Road Dogg, and came across as an arrogant, well, ass (pun intended).

This worked initially, because he had the heat of working a program with Road Dogg with natural buzz because of their breakup. However, once Gunn moved on, he couldn't maintain fan ire because he had no mic skills, thus leaving him with no vocal ability to draw heat from the fans. In 2000, under yet another ill-fated push, he was "re-envisioned" as "The One Billy Gunn," and became a good guy and a strong challenger for the Intercontinental Championship. He came to the aid of his "long-time buddy" Chyna in her abusive relationship with Eddie Guerrero, who was IC Champ, and engaged in a program with him, getting artificial pops because he was helping Chyna and using the charisma and natural showmanship of Eddie to feed off of. He wins the IC Title and moves on to a short feud with Benoit and soon loses the belt. He was immediately downgraded to the joke of a title "The Hardcore Championship," where he traded the belt under the 24/7 rule a while until an injury that kept him out for a good long while.

We are all aware of the Chuck and Billy tag team that went from playing off cheap homophobic heat to faces (not coincidentally, when they admitted to being straight). Billy was injured again. Team dissolved. The end.

Vince's writers and bookers once again gave Billy a push in 2003 by placing him with Torrie Wilson for instance cheesecake appeal. He became a contender for the re-established Intercontinental Championship, and was integrated into the feud between Benoit and Guerrero for the strap at the time. He had the benefit of working with two of the best mat technicians and one of the most charismatic and dynamic presences in the business to carry his lack of popularity. In the ring, he kept up well, but ultimately failed to make in impact following the summer feud, as he never had any voice to carry him.

He was one big dud. He was consistently given chances to make it big and all he lacked was a voice, which cost him dearly. I don't know why I just typed all this.

His inability to generate legit heat or pop is what doomed him. Astute analysis :thumb:
