EVERY Wrestler From The Original ALL IN - Where Are They Now?

40. Billy Gunn

Rey Mysterio All In
AEW

In what might be the most shocking story of a transformative change in the wrestling landscape, Billy 'Daddy Ass' Gunn became one of the most over talents in All Elite Wrestling. This is a "played out" post format, but imagine telling people that back in 2018.

He's recently teased retirement, but that feels like a way to add some emotion and heft to a trios run with the Acclaimed that hasn’t picked up the match quality gauntlet thrown down by the Elite, Death Triangle and the House of Black. Still, match quality isn't everything: the Acclaimed's progressive update on the quintessential Attitude Era act is a massive hit with the adoring AEW faithful.
