Billy Gunn's next tag team partner

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Even though SD! isn't until Thursday I'm not spoiling anything to say that everyone's (least) favorite tag team specialist is BACK! BABY!!!

 

Now with every relaunch of Billy Gunn...he'll probably get a single's push to start...but we all know how that story ends.

 

So my question for you all is...WHO will be the next man that Billy Gunn holds the tag titles with?

 

...

 

Yes I think this is a serious WWE topic.

 

Stop looking at me like that. Business is slow because of the war.

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

It'll probably be Torrie Wilson, judging by this past Smackdown. They'll be the new versions of the Boddy Donnas.

[Guest the pinjockey]

If he is going to be face I say Rikishi.

 

Ass Man plus Fat Ass = Future Tag Team Champions

 

God the WWE is depressing.

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

I would like to see the return of "Shogunns". I loved how all they did was insult each other's old gimmicks/failed pushes. Plus it gets Big Show out of main events.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

He could team with Sho Funaki instead.

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

He could team with Sho Funaki instead.

It would fit with the Japanese conotations of the name at any rate. Maybe they can have Billy be a stereotypical loser US guy who thinks he's Japanese because he wears anime shirts. He can sit in the back watching Kurosawa movies all the time talking about how much cooler Japan is.

[Guest Space_Cowboy]

Maybe they'll stick him with someone talented who actually has a promising future, thereby dragging them down to the depths of crap, much like they stuck Kane with RVD.

 

Therefore, look forward to the future WWE Tag Team Champions, BILLY GUNN and CHRIS BENOIT!

[Guest the pinjockey]

Well at least Benoit won't have to worry about Gunn almost killing him again if they tag up.

Well, if he had to come back, I can't complain because that likely means all their TV time will be lumped together.

 

I hate them both--they deserve each other.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

I feel the smae actually

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Im trying to think of a cool tag team name involving some part of the name Billy Gunn. The only thing I can think of is Gunn Show with Big Show.

If he was on raw, he could tag with Tommy Dreamer and call themselves Tommy Gunn.

Or bring back the Doink the Clown character, team him with Mr. Ass and call em the Ass Clowns.

ASS CLOWNS IT IS! Just as long as it's Heel Matt Bourne Doink.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Funaki and Gunn might actually make me tolerate Gunn, and they'd probably get over as well.

[Guest Goodear]

Considering Billy's past history of taking tall partners over 6'4" who usually are brawlers who need some help with their timing, you would think O'Haire would do well to take shotgun.

[Guest eirejmcmahon]

Hey, be thankful they didn't release him or you'd be paying 10 bucks a week to watch him tag alongside X-Pac.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Yes, good point. But I think any wrestler (whether you like him or not) who has been blessed with the visage of Satan should be a heel.

[Guest Goodear]

You'd think but this is wrestling where anyone who wears a suit is evil and guys who drink heavily are good. Plus its not like it would be hard to change Billy over again anyway since he's better in a heel role as far as I'm concerned.

[Guest mach7]

10 bucks says they hire BG James back to resume his role as Road Dogg. Why not? They've already brought back a whole whack of nostaliga related signings already.

[Guest Goodear]

Seriously what's the beef with Billy's tag work anyway? Sure he sucks as a single, but the team work with three different partners sure haven't been disappointing or anything.

[Guest AndrewTS]

He could team with Sho Funaki instead.

It would fit with the Japanese conotations of the name at any rate. Maybe they can have Billy be a stereotypical loser US guy who thinks he's Japanese because he wears anime shirts. He can sit in the back watching Kurosawa movies all the time talking about how much cooler Japan is.

You have a problem with Kurosawa movies?

 

Otherwise, sure. Have him bitch about how Funaki should have been subtitled instead of dubbed when they did the dubbed Kai En Tai gimmick.

 

Give him a DBZ related nickname.

 

That'd be some funny crap. Of course, Gunn could never live up to the work ethic of a Japanese worker (work until you die and work some more). However, he does lack any sort of individual personality and is used to a herd mentality.

 

Japan: ahead technologically by several months, 60 years behind in gender equality and social welfare.

Yes, but compared to the wrestlers in the tag teams on Smackdown, he blows.

[Guest Goodear]

Yes, but compared to the wrestlers in the tag teams on Smackdown, he blows.

 

Maybe Tajiri, Eddie and Team Angle... but it's not like he sucks compared to The Bashams or APA if they ever come back. He can be a servicable midcarder in the tag roles.

[Guest AndrewTS]

The APA aren't there yet and won't be until Bradshaw's hernia heals, at least.

 

I've never seen the Bashams in action (I don't watch that much of SD anymore), but they're too green to be on TV yet, ditto with La Res. Even so, I still stand by the comment I made when he was with Chuck: they're about the same in skill level, but Chuck's green of course. Billy's been wrestling since the early 90's. What's HIS excuse?

[Guest Mystery Eskimo]

Well, Palumbo shouldn't be *that* green, he's been around a while now.

 

As for Gunn's next tag partner- a team with Val Venis wouldnt be too painful. Perhaps.

Oh my god, are you saying that Billy Gunn should be ME? *Curls up in a ball and cries*

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

You have a problem with Kurosawa movies? 

 

Of course not, he's great, one of the best ever. But you know the type I mean right? They see one anime, one puro match, and one Japanese movie, and all of a sudden they are experts on the Japanese culture and look down on anything from the US.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Bring back the Road Dogg and team them up for one last time to generate some sort of interest in Gunn and sell some merchandise in the process.

[Guest Zero_Cool]

You know, I could almost see a Rhyno/Gunn tag team work, or it may just be because Rhyno's theme is playing on my winamp.

 

If he's a heel, Big Show. If he's a face, Rikishi. I think he needs to tag with a hoss.

[Guest Choken One]

Ummm...Hello?

 

Brian Kendrick is the ideal partner...

 

SPANKASS!

SPANKASS!

...that's just a scary thought.

 

Scary because that's most likely what WWE will do...

[Guest The Hamburglar]

Billy was actually quite good with Chuck, which coming from me is saying something, considering I despised and ridiculed his two previous incarnations. He'll suck this time, though. Has he gone back to that Assman music? 'Cos that music isn't even subtle. Back in the day I laughed at its sheer gayness, but these days I prefer my homo-eroticism covert and subtle. Or at least more covert and subtle. Well, actually I'm lying, I thought the Triple H - Steiner stuff was hilarious. Still, even the "We can't wrestle, so look at our BIG MUSCLES, mmmmm" program has more subtlety than "I'm an Ass Man, I love to love 'em, I love to shove 'em."
