10 WWE Tag Teams Vince McMahon Actually Loved
7. The Smoking Gunns
Billy and Bart should by rights have never gotten over. The heyday of 1950s Western TV was forty years before the team’s debut. Yet Billy and Bart had a huge fan in Vince McMahon. This company support persisted ensuring the pair had time to build a connection with the audience.
The Smoking Gunns would go on to win the Tag team championship on three occasions. A pairing with the notorious Sunny would even guarantee them an adolescent male fan base.
Billy would move on to even greater success as half of the New Age Outlaws. Bart on the other hand would win the infamous Brawl for All. Thus ruining WWE’s grand plan for 'Dr Death' Steve Williams and ending Gunn's push.
