Old Shame is In-Universe only
** The "Rock-A-Billy" gimmick where he became the prodigy of the Honky Tonk Man. He said that it might have been good, but the costume and entrance music they picked meant it would have been a disaster. Thankfully it was quickly ended and he hooked up with Road Dogg for a boost.
** Averted with the controversial 'Billy & Chuck' storyline, as he still enjoyed it.

* BreakupBreakout: Was the more successful tag team partner of both the Smoking Gunns and the New Age Outlaws. Bart Gunn's US career is nowhere near as successful as Billy's for the former. For the latter, he won one more Hardcore title, two more Tag Team titles (with Chuck Palumbo) and lasted two more years in WWF after the Road Dogg left.
