"Oh, You Didn't Know?"

WWE Magazine: What were the origins of The Smoking Gunns? Billy Gunn: Throughout wrestling history, cowboys had always worn black hats and had these big nasty looks. Our idea was, “Let’s change this around.” WWE Magazine: What were the origins of The New Age Outlaws? Gunn: I got to be the man every guy hates and every chick loves. We played with it, as much as we wanted, because there were no reins! WWE Magazine: How different is Billy Gunn today? Gunn: Today’s Billy Gunn is about, “What can I do for the company?” I spent 14 years with WWE and then went out for a little but then came back to win the WWE Tag Titles and coach down at the Performance Center. WWE Magazine: A Fatal Four Way: Smoking Gunn-era vs. Rockabilly-era vs. Attitude-Era vs. today. The winner is? Gunn: The Attitude Era one because I had an awesome partner at the time in Road Dogg. He was my man. I would have him in the crowd yelling. Actually, I can hear him right now.
