9 Wrestlers Whose Last WWE Match Came At WrestleMania
9. Bart Gunn - WrestleMania XV
The story of Bart Gunn and his demise in the World Wrestling Federation is a peculiar one. A serviceable journeyman throughout the majority of his career, the peak of his career was most probably a tag team run with Billy Gunn as the Smoking Gunns. All this changed in the summer of 1998, with WWF's ill-fated foray into shoot fighting.
Gunn took part in the Brawl for All tournament, a concept that came about after JBL told Vince Russo that he could beat anyone in a bar fight. Any idea that comes from bar fight claims probably shouldn't be explored further. Participation in the tournament was strictly voluntary, but the overwhelming feeling was that it would act as a way to get 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams over in the WWF.
WWF top brass didn't reckon on Bart Gunn however, who went through Williams in the second round before going on to defeat Bradshaw in the final. This was never in the plan. Gunn's reward for winning the tough guy tournament? He would go up against pro-fighter Butterbean at WrestleMania XV. 35 seconds after the bell rang, Gunn was staring at the lights. He would never work for WWF again.
