10 Things You Learn From Rewatching LAST Time WWE Raw Lost In Ratings War
6. Billy Gunn Does Not Age
While we all age over time and the wrestling business particularly takes its toll on ones physical appearance, Billy Gunn clearly does not age like the rest of us.
Currently working as a trainer and semi-regular on-screen talent in All Elite Wrestling, Billy looks like he's barely aged a day when looking back at 1998. To think, the WWE Hall of Famer was on the cusp of turning 35 at the time of the October 26, 1998 Raw - and nowadays he's 57 and looking near-identical to his younger self.
D-Generation X was at a strange place in October '98. Long gone were Shawn Michaels and Rick Rude, Triple H was out with an injury, and Chyna was being held off TV. For the trio of Billy Gunn, Road Dogg and X-Pac, the traditional black and green of DX had yet to be incorporated into their attires, and the group was clearly just treading water until Triple H was cleared to return.
In terms of involvement on this particular Raw, Billy and the D-O-Double G got involved in X-Pac's opening match encounter with Steve Blackman, the three took part in a Mötley Crüe performance, and then the New Age Outlaws successfully defended the Tag Team Championships against Al Snow and Mankind.
