Billy Gunn says he could happily retire now that he’s working with his sons in wrestling.
With 30 years of experience in the wrestling business, Billy Gunn is passing that on to his sons Austin and Colten Gunn and collectively, they are known as The Gunn Club in All Elite Wrestling. Billy has reeled in a multitude of accolades throughout his career but ranks teaming with his sons as his greatest achievement.
The 58-year-old Billy Gunn was the most recent guest on Highspots Wrestling Network’s ‘Virtual Gimmick Table’ and said being with Colten and Austin beats out anything he’s ever done in wrestling. He added that because he’s been able to check that off his bucket list, he could happily retire now if he wanted to.
Yeah, this [working with his sons in wrestling] goes up there with anything I’ve done. It out-trumps everything. I mean, when you get to start with them or they get to start with me or however that wording goes and watch them get better and better every time they get in the ring and be around that and have some influence over that is amazing. That’s probably — like I can retire now and be — not that I wouldn’t have been before but now I’m — there’s nothing else I need to do in this business, because that is the ultimate. If you get to work with your kids in a profession that [you] love to do, then that’s it, it’s over, it’s done.
Colten and Austin were a part of the World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Battle Royal on the 2/23 Dynamite. That match was won by reDragon (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish).
