All is well again, I can see the ratings spike already.
Now, what to do with him?

I'm sorry. I loved the Smoking Gunns growing up. I marked and copied the New Age Outlaws in my earlier teen years but then after that, that was it. I really think Billy's run his course and he should just hang it up. He's gone from being entertaining to being really annoying. | Mr Heel II

Gunn said he still may end up becoming an agent one day, but that’ll have to wait because he has unfinished business in the ring.

Reposted on: 25.4.10 1737.35 | Thinking over my love of Billy Gunn, I did think of some good things (I think) about him.
He always has good or funny theme music. Ass Man is great fun, One and Only had a great guitar riff, even BillyChuck's music was good.
He can normally make a tag team click with anyone.
He was in the NAO.
His punches are unique.
He's good at selling.
He might not be Benoit by any means, but I think when need be he can pull out a decent match.
He has a pretty big moveset for the WWE (various neckbreakers, powerslam, tilt-a-whirl slam, Fameasser, One and Only, good dropkick, bodyslam, Jackhammer, DDTs, etc.)

IF Nash gets the title away from Trip, I can see Billy hitting the fameasser already for the 1, 2, 3. heh.

well the APA are set to come back soon. They're the Southern Tag Champs in OVW and are feuding with Lance Cade and Rene Dupre at the moment.
As for the titantron, I think that's the one Billy used briefly after the whole Billy and Chuck fiasco blew off but since he was injured, he didn't get to use it too much. | Venom

I'm sorry. I loved the Smoking Gunns growing up. I marked and copied the New Age Outlaws in my earlier teen years but then after that, that was it. I really think Billy's run his course and he should just hang it up. He's gone from being entertaining to being really annoying.
Like him or not... at least the guy has got a job, right? I mean, he's trying to pay the bills (and get on www.thesmokinggun.com ) just like you and me.

Reposted on: 27.4.10 1629.04 | I like Billy when he isn't nearly dropping Chris Benoit on his head on consecutive nights.
I say, bring him back and give him the RAW title. I serious. Do a whole "dX days" thing and make Billy the one guy that'll stand with Trips against Nash and Michaels (who are old men that shouldn't be much of a problem) and then do a big turn, give him the old dX shit, call him Bad Ass again, give him the belt, have him lose to Booker T, and then put him in a best of seven with Steiner.

Reposted on: 27.4.10 2259.04 | I'm smelling another tag team title reign for Mr. Gunn. The question is, which lucky stiff is going to get pleasure to team with him?
It's off topic but why did my sig pic spread out when I entered it in? Is there a way I can correct this. |
