Reposted on: 5.1.10 1039.25 | From the Observer(stolen from a post on another MB):
"There is talk that Billy Gunn might not be able to return from his current injury that has caused some nerve damage. If not, he could become a road agent."
That'd be a shame because you don't like to see that sort of thing happen to anybody. Like him or hate him, he was a big part of the "Attitude" era of the WWF(mostly as part of the New Age Outlaws and Degeneration X).

Reposted on: 5.1.10 1150.40 | | Yeah, I was never a fan of Billy Gunn either, but it's still a sad story. He was just getting some good heat behind him with the Billy & Chucky thing, then this happened. Now he's more-than-likely retired, while Chuck Palumbo is a 4th rate jobber who will probably be standing on the unemployement line, right behind Justin Credible and in front of Jamal, in a few months. | JST

Reposted on: 5.1.10 1422.39 | | Well, while Gunn almost dropped Benoit on his head twice in a two week period in late 2000, nearly depriving us of years of Benoit matches (we lost a year anyways), he DID provide us entertainment as one-half of the coolest tag team of my childhood, the Smoking Gunns. And, he *was* part of D-X and the New Age Outlaws, so I guess we owe him for his part in making wrestling suck a little less than it would've without him. | Russenmafia

I didn't mind Gunn in the midcard tag team role but he was just missing that something extra to be a singles performer. He is close to 40 and I remember him saying awhile ago that he didn't think he had too many years left in him. He had close to a ten year run with WWF/WWE, that's pretty impressive. | OMEGA

Hey, it could have been Albert who got hurt. I think it's still sad when any athlete not named Triple H or Kevin Nash gets hurt. Of course, if there name IS Triple H or Kevin Nash, that can only mean good things for the rest of the world. Oh, throw Undertaker's name in there too. "I won't job to Brock Lesnar." What an ass! | evilwaldo

Actually, this will probably lead to the Billy Gunn coming back from the brink of retirement singles push. | Russenmafia

No. It's a bad thing when someone gets hurt... unless they're a dirty, rotten politician who only cares about themselves and couldn't give two craps about the business. Then I HOPE they go out there and break their necks. Hope I cleared that up for ya'.

I know I`ve mentioned on here before that my friends and I have found Billy Gunn the source of humor for years now. The Ass Man gimmick, the name "Monty Sopp"...not really due to his ringwork, just all that stuff is why I`m always amused by The One Ass, and I hope this isn`t the end of the road. | krakken2000
