Billy Gunn is back with Part 2 of his “GUNN SHOW SHOOT” video series and in this installment, he talks about how fans remember DX and what it was like putting over wrestlers like Steve Austin & The Rock during WWE’s Attitude Era:
Who Fans Think Of When They Think DX: “Honestly, I think it’s Shawn and Hunter… yeah, you’re right, me, Bryan [Road Dogg], X-Pac, we were complete degenerates, to the word… but I think when you think of it all around, from a fan’s perspective, DX is Shawn and Hunter because we were short-lived… every time they bring DX back around, which is helping, it’s always Shawn and Hunter. It’s never us. Even the book [Unauthorized History of DX] just kind of mentioned us in there… it was like a two-paragraph, ‘Oh yeah, Brian and Billy, they were in there too’, so… I get it. They kind of started it, we made it really good, and then they still finish it off.”
Putting Over Stars Like Rock & Austin: “The reason me and Brian put all these guys over, and took their finishes… one, we loved it. Two, we were very good at it. Three, we were probably the best in the whole locker room that could get it done. You know, it wouldn’t do any good if Barry Horowitz and whoever came out and did it… the New Age Outlaws, by themselves, were over, and I don’t mean to say all this just because I was a part of that.. I’m just stating what I feel is right.”
