MT HOPE, WV (LOOTPRESS) – RetroReset Video Games and Collectibles continued its streak of attracting high-profile names from the world of professional wrestling to the Mountain State on Saturday as “The One” Billy Gunn made his way to the Crossroads Mall.
Gunn made his professional wrestling debut in the early 90s as one half of The Smoking Gunns, kicking off the career of one of wrestling’s greatest tag team competitors. Gunn would secure WWE tag team gold 11 total times: thrice with Bart Gunn as a member of the Smoking Gunns, twice with Chuck Palumbo as a member of Billy and Chuck, and six times with Road Dogg as a member of The New Age Outlaws.
As a member of the New Age Outlaws, Gunn would become extremely popular with fans during WWE’s Attitude Era, and the team would eventually align themselves with D-Generation X (DX), one of the most highly acclaimed factions in the history of professional wrestling. Gunn would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of DX in 2019.
During his time with WWE Gunn would also become the Intercontinental Champion and would have two runs as Hardcore Champion. Additionally, Gunn was the winner of the King of the Ring tournament in 1999.
He would later have successful tenures with TNA, New Japan, and on the independent circuit along with a brief return to WWE. Since 2019 Gunn has competed for AEW along with his sons Austin and Colten Gun – collectively known as The Gunn Club. At 59 years old, Gunn continues to compete at a high level and has seen a massive resurgence in popularity during his time with AEW.
Another WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend can be seen at RetroReset’s Crossroads Mall location next month when the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley stops by for a meet and greet with fans on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
