Context Trivia / BillyGunn

Go To


1	* ActorInspiredElement: He got paired with Wrestling/TorrieWilson in 2003 because Torrie was asked to give Vince a list of the people she wanted to work with - and his name was at the top of the list.
2	* 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.
3	* CreatorBacklash:
4	** Regretful of his singles push after the New Age Outlaws first broke up, saying he didn't fully commit to it.
5	** He viewed his entire run in TNA as a disappointment, besides his partnership with The Beautiful People.
6	** He noted that "The One" was a pretty weak gimmick, but also conceded that he at least wasn't made to dress up as a cowboy again due to all the hassle he went through at airports with his prop six shooters.
7	** 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.
8	** Averted with the controversial 'Billy & Chuck' storyline, as he still enjoyed it.
9	* HeAlsoDid: Appeared on an episode of ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''.
10	* MoneyDearBoy: He got into wrestling because "I didn't have anything else to do" and needed a paycheck. He became a fan while he was doing it.
11	* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
12	** He lost a match against the Right To Censor meaning that he had to drop the 'Mr Ass' moniker. This was due to the PTC protesting against it, and the name having to be constantly bleeped out on re-runs of shows. This is why he was renamed 'The One' Billy Gunn instead.
13	** His 2001 heel turn against Edge got quietly dropped as the Invasion storyline started. Billy was on the WWF side, so became a face again.
14	* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: He was released in 2015 after being over the limit on a drug test.
15	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
16	** WWF wanted to give him a push against Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin in 1999 to fill a void left by so many main eventers who had left or were injured. Austin apparently refused to even work with him.
