10 WWE Stars You Didn't Know Started As Part Of The New Generation

5. Billy Gunn

Road Dogg's fellow outlaw, Billy Gunn, also got his start during the New Generation era, though his role was a bit more expansive. Pairing up with his kayfabe brother, Bart, they were The Smokin' Gunns, a highly dysfunctional tag team that were all about "takin' care of business" in their Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots. If that sounds familiar already, yes that was pretty much Blackjack Bradshaw's thing a year later, but there weren't many gimmicks to go around back then. Everything about Billy Gunn's character was different from the New Age Outlaw/Mr. Ass persona he would portray during the Attitude Era, from the sweet mustache-and-mullet combo to the down and dirty wrestling style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOuD7seLv5M
