7 Things You Should Know About WWE Royal Rumble 1996

7. The Smoking Gunns And Bodydonnas Were New Teams

This was a show full of new talent emerging in the midcard, but it was also like that in the tag team division as well. The Smoking Gunns (Billy & Bart) weren't really related although they were presented as brothers in the storylines. Their gimmick wasn't that complicated. They were just two cowboys that worked well together and the fans liked them. They faced off with the Bodydonnas, who had a new gimmick where they were gym fanatics that wanted people to get in shape. It started as just Skip (Chris Candido) and the beautiful Sunny, but then they added Zip (Tom Prichard) to the mix to make them a tag team. They were heels that liked to insult the fans. The real star of the team was Sunny, who was one of the best looking women in wrestling history. It was a competitive matchup that saw the Gunns get the win with a rollup after the Bodydonnas tried to do some cheating and failed. The most notable performers from this match were Billy Gunn, who got more notoriety as part of the New Age Outlaws tag team with the Road Dogg. Sunny also became a huge star although her career in WWE and she ended up in the WWE Hall of Fame.
