Billy Gunn Says Teaming With Road Dogg Saved His WWE Career

AEW star and Pro wrestling legend Billy Gunn appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics, including when things started clicking for him in wrestling.

Gunn said, “I think not until me and Road Dogg got together…because…in a sense, I should have never gotten a job at WWE because I was so green, but the stars aligned… all the leashes were off… literally, they handed it to us…because we were literally about to get fired because they just didn’t have anything. We weren’t going anywhere. We weren’t doing anything.”

On how Road Dogg helped him:

“And they said, ‘Hey, you guys just go do what you want to do. Go be what you want to be…’ Road Dogg is so talented, anyway, that he kind of helped me along. He [said], ‘Hey, dude, just turn it on. Just be that thing that’s in you that you wish you could get out,’ and I think that was the ‘Mr. A**/Bad A**’ Billy Gunn character.”

On training Baron Corbin before Corbin step foot in WWE:

“The funny thing is I’ve actually known him before his wrestling career, right before he was going to the [WWE] Performance Center… now if you know me you know that I hate training football people (laughs), but because they’re entitled, but you know what, not just because he’s sitting here but he was awesome, he was one of the one that always wanted to learn, always wanted to do- and I’d always sit in the ring after our classes if he wasn’t in my class cause I knew he was coming.”

On teaming with Corbin (Bishop Dyer) at MLP Mayhem:

“It was kind of along the same feelings as tagging with my kids (Austin and Colten Gunn). The first time I did that and was working with my kids, it’s such a cool experience that a lot of guys- they don’t get to experience that. Right when I thought that my career was complete like it was, I get to compete with my kids and then I get to work with (Dyer)… I feel I can retire like right now and never do this again.”
