Billy Gunn was a man of many gimmicks during his time as an active wrestler, and his first characters in the WWF includd one-half of The Smokin Gunns and The Honky Tonk Mans protege, Rockabilly. He later allied with Jeff Jarretts roadie, Jesse James, and together they became The New Age Outlaws. Together, the New Age Outlaws were one of the most successful tag teams in WWF history, picking up a total six Tag Team Championships over their career. Billy Gunn himself was seen to be a breakout star in the making and as such he went on to with the 1999 King of the Ring, defeating X-Pac in the finals. During The Attitude Era, Billy Gunn was known as Mr. Ass and came out to the ring with the instantly memorable Ass Man music. The New Age Outlaws were drafted into Triple Hs DX Army in 1998 following Shawn Michaels departure and were the perfect fit for the sophomoric stable that D-Generation X was known to be. The New Age Outlaws returned to the WWE in early 2014 and turned heel, aligning themselves with Triple Hs Authority. They won the WWE Tag Team Championships from Cody Rhodes and Goldust but lost them a month later to The Usos, and later were demolished by The Shield at WrestleMania XXX.
