The One Billy Gunn

(or the one that makes everyone vomit)

Federation: WWF

Real Name: Monty Kip Sopp

Other Gimmicks: Bad Ass Billy Gunn, Billy Gunn of the Smoking Gunns, Mr. Ass

Billy Gunn has just the look Vince and company loves. He’s a tall guy with big muscles. In Vince’s mind that goes a long way. Despite the fact that Mr. Gunn lacks any in ring talent , charisma, and the ability to work even a short match without getting winded he gets pushed constantly. But, he’s a tall guy with big muscles otherwise know as a hoss and that’s all that matters. You see in the WWF/WWE all you need is height and muscle mass and Vince/JR will think you’re talented and a sure thing. Not only is Mr. Gunn just plain bad at wrestling he’s sloppy too. During his run as the gimmick I’m about to cover he nearly killed Chris Benoit twice by dropping him straight on his head. On to the gimmick now: after he lost the right to use the name Mr. Ass to the RTC, Billy slapped “The One” in front of his name. In a daze of barbeque sauce and spider nightmares JR proclaimed him, “the one for the future.” Now how a worthless slug that’s been with the company since the early 90s who has never risen above mid-card is “the one for the future” is anyone’s guess. JR also claims that Gunn is the “best pure athlete in the WWF today” so I take it he has no idea who Billy Gunn is and falls asleep during his matches and sleep commentates them. Man that was a long sentence but then again that has nothing to do with anything. This gimmick gets worst then a sham name. You see during this time he was Chyna’s bitch. He shilled for her more then JR did for him. He went on and on about how great she was making him all most as much as a liar as JR is. The good thing is that this gimmick ended and Billy went on to have a fake romance with Chuck Palumbo.
