10 Wrestlers Who Couldn’t Come Up With A Comeback
1. Billy Gunn, Again
His ass really should have called somebody, Christ.
Billy Gunn was red hot in 1998. Three years later, he was not, and he probably wishes he was born later. Being massively over and cooling down three years later nowadays gets you a Universal Title.
That man again, before Edge discovered he had grit he had a very amusing sense of humour, and used it frequently as a meteor with which to kill the dinosaurs of the incredibly recent past. Like, imagine the ammunition if he feuds with Dolph Ziggler next.
Billy Gunn emerged from the back to interrupt the celebrations after Edge had won the 2001 King Of The Ring tournament to complain that he wasn't even allowed to enter it after winning two years prior. Edge was not remotely sympathetic; in what was a fairly savvy idea for a TV segment, and the sort of thing that lasts at least two months in 2020, Gunn's disastrous push was used to get Edge's tournament over as a mea culpa from WWF creative. Edge turned to Commissioner William Regal and "vowed" not to "Billy Gunn" the King Of The Ring, reducing him to a level below even Mabel. Edge invoked Gunn as a verb and everybody knew immediately what it meant.
In the freewheeling days of the Attitude Era, Billy Bitchcakes had nothing, for he was deceased.
