In the over three decades since his debut in 1989, Billy Gunn has proven to be an accomplished competitor in the squared circle and one that continues to wrestle today. While he’s scored some major achievements as a singles wrestler like capturing the WWE Intercontinental Championship and winning the 1999 King of the Ring tournament, most of Gunn’s work has been done as a tag team specialist.

UPDATE: 2023/10/09 07:30 EST BY ETHAN SCHLABAUGH

Currently approaching the age of 60, Billy Gunn is still wrestling since making his debut in the sport back in 1989. Over these years, Gunn has specialized in being a tag team wrestler with countless different names across multiple different promotions. Most fans will remember the Smoking Gunns with Bart or The New Age Outlaws with Road Dogg of course, and it might be fun to explore and find out that Billy had a brief team with the former Yoshitatsu in New Japan. With his career still going on, Gunn has found new allies in All Elite Wrestling so let's take a look at where they place and look back on previous friends Daddy Ass.

12 Worst - Austin & Colten Gunn

A group that could be much better if revisited now with the work that Austin and Colten Gunn are doing as heels on AEW, Billy Gunn teamed alongside his two sons for a brief time starting in late 2020. Austin and his father worked together as a duo to start before Colten arrived in November officially making the group a trio.

The stable amassed an undefeated streak that ended on December 1st, 2021 when they lost to Sting and Darby Allin on Dynamite. Austin and Colten turned on their father to become heels the following year and have been working as a tag team primarily since even capturing the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

11 Best - Chuck Palumbo

After getting kicked out of the Alliance stable, Chuck Palumbo switched sides and became team WWE where he found a partnership with Billy Gunn. The two started to match gears and bleach their hair to look similar while also having Rico as their "personal stylist" and manager.

One of the group's best moments came when Chuck proposed a life partnership to Billy, which was accepted of course. Billy and Chuck held the WWE Tag Team Championships on two occasions and were even ranked as the PWI Tag Team of the Year in 2002.

10 Worst - Big Show

Big Show and Billy Gunn had a very short-lived team in the midst of the Invasion angle in 2001. This came after "The One" gimmick that Billy had as that story started to flounder before Billy & Chuck started. Big Show came up with the name ShowGunns for the team and their biggest match came at the Invasion PPV where they teamed alongside Albert to face off against Chris Kanyon, Hugh Morrus, and Shawn Stasiak.

After suffering a loss at the PPV, Billy Gunn and Big Show quietly separated and fought off the Alliance as singles stars. Big Show moved on to joining the nWo and Billy found a better partnership with Chuck Palumbo.

9 Best - Monty Brown

Upon arriving in Impact Wrestling (then known as TNA) in 2005, Gunn adopted the name The Outlaw and quickly aligned himself with the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett. The two recruited Monty Brown and became the faction, Planet Jarrett.

Brown and Gunn teamed together regularly around this time and in their first match as a team beat Sean Waltman (a.k.a. X-Pac) and Diamond Dallas Page. A big loss for the faction came at Lockdown 2005 where Jarrett, Brown, and The Outlaw faced Waltman, DDP, and B.G. James (Gunn's old partner Road Dogg).

8 Worst - Chyna

Despite their time together in D-Generation X, Chyna and Billy Gunn didn't work out together much as a separate tag team. The two of them suffered some high-profile losses against teams like The Radicalz and Right to Censor in the early 2000s.

One of their earliest outings was alongside Triple H -more on him below- and saw them get beat by The Rock and former DX partners Road Dogg and X-Pac on a July 1999 episode of Monday Night Raw.

7 Best - The Beautiful People

Gunn stayed in TNA from 2005 til 2009 and during that run saw himself team alongside multiple different names. Some of those select few include the team of Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, and Madison Rayne, a.k.a. The Beautiful People. Billy started to change up his character and became more arrogant and called himself "The Megastar" before being revealed as the new image consultant and member of The Beautiful People faction.

Bound for Glory 4 saw a match with Gunn, Sky, and Love against Rhino, ODB, and Rhaka Khan in what was called a Bimbo Brawl. After some time away, he returned on the May 28, 2009, episode of Impact to get fired by Love and Sky.

6 Worst - Salvatore Sincere

1996 saw Billy break up with his first successful teammate Bart Gunn after losing the WWE Tag Team Championship and their manager. During the short time that the Smoking Gunns were separated and before The New Age Outlaws, Gunn worked with Salvatore Sincere a little bit.

Sincere was a vaguely threatening mafia character and the two worked several tag team matches in the later part of 96, including a Survivor Series elimination tag match during the Free for All (preshow) portion of the event.

5 Best - Bart Gunn

The on-screen brothers of Billy and Bart Gunn arrived at WWE in April 1993. They wrestled together in the International Wrestling Federation earlier that year as The Long Riders and held the promotions tag titles twice before signing to WWE. The Smoking Gunns beat names like Barry Horowitz, Reno Riggins, Damian Demento, and The Brooklyn Brawler during their first year together.

By 1995 the team became WWE Tag Team Champions and defended against The New Headshrinkers, Heavenly Bodies, and Men on a Mission before losing the belts to Owen Hart and Yokozuna. By the end of their tenure together, The Smoking Gunns held the belts three times.

4 Worst - Triple H

Billy Gunn and the rest of D-Generation X found themselves teaming together in multi-man matches often on the losing side. Triple H and Gunn specifically teamed together a little bit before DX was conceived when the two lost a match against Jake Roberts and Marc Mero on a late 1996 episode of Monday Night Raw.

Together in DX, the two lost to The Nation on multiple instances as well as to a combination of babyfaces at the PPV In Your House 20: Now Way Out of Texas. They at least did get a few wins over teams like DOA and The Legion of Doom at the time.

3 Best - The Acclaimed

The best thing to come out of the breakup between Billy Gunn and his kids was the trio of Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, and Daddy Ass. The group came together as an alliance between The Acclaimed and The Gunn Club where they would routinely argue and make fun of each other.

Once Austin and Colton turned on their father, Billy became the manager for The Acclaimed while sometimes teaming together with them in trios matches. Caster and Bowens captured the AEW World Tag Team Championships with Gunn by their side and now hold the AEW World Trios Championships together as a group after beating House of Black at All In at Wembley Stadium.

2 Worst - Yoshi Tatsu

In 2014, former WWE star Yoshi Tatsu suffered a legitimate broken neck in New Japan Pro-Wrestling during a match with Bullet Club leader AJ Styles, and upon healing sought retribution by forming an anti-BC faction called Hunter Club.

After Captain New Japan’s poor performance in the group and defection to Bullet Club, Yoshi found a new partner in Billy Gunn. Together the duo entered the 2016 World Tag League Tournament, scoring six points in Block B but not advancing to the finals. From there, Gunn would wrestle a couple of matches with NJPW and move on.

1 Best - Road Dogg

Easily the most popular tag team of the Attitude Era, the New Age Outlaws were formed when undercard wrestler The Roadie convinced fellow undercard wrestler Rockabilly to turn on The Honky Tonk Man and join him in villainy. Once they became part of D-Generation X, the Outlaws became huge with crowds thanks to Road Dogg’s shout-along entrance promo.

Due to their massive popularity as a team, Gunn and Road Dogg captured the WWE Tag Team Championships six times, both members found success as singles stars with the Intercontinental and Hardcore Championships and were officially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 as members of D-Generation X.
