-Mic work/promos: 3
Billy Gunn's only remarkable promos were when he was on the receiving end of the 2 most well known roastings in the Attitude Era.:mjlol:

The Rock's promo


Edge's promo


He was a decent complement to Road Dogg but outside of the New Age Outlaws, his mic work is forgettable.



-Personality/gimmicks: 2
He somehow managed to have terrible gimmicks in 3 different eras of wrestling.


The Smoking Gunns during the mid 90s era of :hhh: gimmicks (don't ask how)

The Mr. Ass gimmick in the Attitude Era and yes that shirt is real :dame:

His mid-life crisis The One gimmick. All he did was get a haircut and change his colors. :dwillhuh:

Billy and Chuck in the post-Attitude Era

And even in TNA he was known as Cute Kip and worked with the Beautiful People

If it weren't for the NAO, I would have given this fool a 0. :martin: So I guess you could say "I've got 2 points for you" :mjgrin:

I still don't even know what the Mr. Ass gimmick was about. Was it just that he liked asses? :yeshrug:I mean it said so in the song. That's not much of a gimmick.



:mjlol: at "so many asses, so little time"

-Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds): 6

He was extremely athletic for someone who was 6'4" and 260. His moveset was pretty great too. Jackhammer, Fameasser, Military Press Slam, a pretty good dropkick, and other moves. I can't remember a notable singles match from him though. :yeshrug:



-Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores): 4
A good tag team wrestler who had awful gimmicks and one of the biggest flops of a push that we've ever seen. He'll definitely make the HOF as a member of the NAO since they're an iconic team but as a singles wrestler he's not getting in there.

Anyone rating BILLY GUNN above a 5 needs to get their fukkin ass WHOOPED :mjlol:

I can't even deal with some of ya'll with this shyt man.

Gunn is a 3. The best thing you can say about him is he remained relatively healthy and had longevity, he was decent in tag teams, but he was never the reason any of his tag teams were over.

Left to his own devices he was straight up scrub status though.

This so much. I remember when they had Billy Gunn hanging around Chyna because they were hoping that he could absorb some of her pops and crowd appreciation. Road Dogg was a key part of the NAO. Billy and Chuck got over because of the flamboyant gimmick and the addition of Rico.

Smoking Guns - Sunny was over

Billy & Chuck - Rico and the homo shyt was over.

NAO - Road Dogg's promos was over.

It was to start up his push. Looking at the participants there really weren't any other legit options. :scusthov: Kane and Big Show didn't really need it. Chyna got her push a few months later. Shamrock won it last year.

Wwe Roster sucked in attitude era until 2000.

Easily the most swagless member of DX.

Truth be told the new age outlaws could've originally have been road Dogg & x pac & the tag team would've still have been just as popular.:yeshrug:

I think he's real life fakkit. Always pointing at his ass & hanging with Rico & chuck:scust:

Skills wise, just corny & swagless on the mic. Just leave the talking to Road dogg:camby:

In ring he could deliver an OK dropkick if that makes a difference.:ld:

With that said imma give him a vague 5 only because of his association to popular groups.

The only dummy to mess up his kilq association package cuz his old ass wanted to take PEDs like he still on the road wrestling every week. :mjlol:

That Chyna/Road Dogg match went almost longer than all of Billy's matches combine to win. That has to be the worst KOTR ever. Atleast w/ KOTR 95, you had the underdog story of Savio Vega. Who was only in the tournament as a replacement for his friend Razor and wrestled 4 times in 1 night.

I'm going to give him a 6 because New Age Outlaws and DX were a big part in the Attitude Era and that can't be denied. I think this might be the lowest score I've given anyone in these evaluations :picard:

Based on how this bracket was set up from the beginning, the finals should have been something like Ken Shamrock vs X-Pac, Test vs X-Pac,
Kane vs X-Pac, or Big Show vs.....cot dammit X-Pac :dead::dead::dead:

and was Roaddogg vs Chyna really 13 minutes :hhh:?

this gimmick would have worked in the attitude era if there were actual references to a woman's ass...not his own :scust:..that gimmick would have worked well right alongside val venis...they could have been a scumbag tag team for the ages..but nooo he pointed to his own ass and wiggled it :hhh:
