10 Attitude Era WWE Stars Who Should Have Been Bigger

4. Billy Gunn

'Bad Ass' Billy Gunn and The Road Dogg were one of the most over tag teams of the attitude era. As members of DX, The New Age Outlaws had the fans in the palm of their hand with their pre-match promo and masterful crowd-working. As popular as the Outlwas were though, the WWF clearly had bigger plans in store for Billy and there were many attempts to get elevate him as a singles wrestler. Considering his size and look, the man Jim Ross frequently called the 'best pure athlete in the WWF' (whatever that means) had a lot going for him. After winning the King of the Ring in 1999, it seemed that 'Mr. Ass' was being groomed for the main events. Save for a brief feud and match at SummerSlam with The Rock, the push didn't exactly go to plan and Gunn was back teaming with Road Dog when he wasn't on the injured list. Returning from another in a long series of shoulder injuries in late 2000 as 'The One', Gunn yet again failed to make a connection with the WWF faithful. He never made it to the main event level but it wasn't through want of trying.
