Billy Gunn is a former King Of The Ring winner, Intercontinental Champion, Hardcore Champ and 11-time Tag-Team titleholder. He was also a key member of D-Generation X and memorably launched tags with Bart Gunn (as The Smoking Gunns) and Chuck Palumbo away from his New Age Outlaws fame.

None of those title wins qualify as his favourite career moment.

Gunn's personal favourite is the time he and Road Dogg pushed Terry Funk and Mick Foley off the Raw stage in a dumpster. The February 1998 angle hyped an upcoming gimmick match between the quartet at WrestleMania XIV, and it's one Billy told 411's Wrestling Interviews got the Outlaws over more than anything else they'd done.

After that, the team had arrived as an important part of the roster. This isn't something Gunn takes for granted; he recognised a "different feeling" and "different vibe" towards he and Road Dogg afterwards. It remains his personal favourite angle ever.
