History Wrestling / BillyGunn

* The Artifact: The Billy Gunn name was a holdover from his tag team with Bart Gunn, The Smoking Gunns. Despite that tag team breaking up in 1996 and Bart Gunn being unceremoniously fired in 1999 after the infamous Wrestling/WWEBrawlForAll debacle, Billy continues to use the name to this day.

* RingOldies: Approaching 60 years old and still ready to go. And [[StillGotIt he's barely slowing down]] either.

He was inducted into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame in 2019 as part of D-Generation X's group induction. He's currently employed by Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, mostly as a producer but also as a wrestler. His last singles action was in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal on the November 20, 2019 episode of ''AEW Dynamite'', but he's since returned to the tag team ranks, teaming with his son Austin as Gunn Club, and then being joined by his other son, Colten. After his sons eventually turned on him, he sided with their former-friends-turned-enemies Wrestling/TheAcclaimed.

* TheBigGuy: In DX, due to being the tallest and one of the biggest wrestlers in the stable.

* StillGotIt: Road Dogg claims Billy Gunn doesn't age. When it comes to athletic ability, it is somewhat believable.

* ButtMonkey: If not for the scathing promos about him from [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] and Wrestling/{{Edge}}, then maybe for Wrestling/KenShamrock bringing so much more enthusiasm to the task of beating him up than anyone else did, with no explanation ever offered. There is also him getting kicked out of Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople in TNA for being seen as creepy.

* NiceHat: The cowboy hat when he was in the Smoking Gunns.

* RingOldies: 55 years old and still ready to go.

* BadassMustache: From 1993 to 1995, when he was in the Smoking Gunns.

Monty "Kip" Sopp (born November 1, 1963) is an American {{professional wrestl|ing}}er born in Orlando, UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} and residing in Austin, [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Texas]] who is best known for his work in Wrestling/{{WWE}} as Billy Gunn. After four years in the indies, Gunn debuted in the then-WWF as part of the TagTeam, The Smoking Gunns along with his "brother" Bart Gunn. The Gunns held the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-t.html WWF World Tag Team Titles]] 3 times. After Billy and Bart broke up, Billy briefly aligned himself with the Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan under the name Rockabilly. Rockabilly had a brief feud with "The Real Double J" Jesse James, which led both to realize that they should team up, and Rockabilly dropped Honky Tonk Man (by nailing him with an acoustic guitar). Both men renamed themselves, James becoming "Wrestling/RoadDogg" Jesse James and Rockabilly the "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, together they were Wrestling/TheNewAgeOutlaws. Together, the Outlaws won the WWF World Tag Team Titles 5 times, aligning themselves with and eventually joining Wrestling/DGenerationX. Gunn eventually left DX and broke up with the Road Dogg, renaming himself Mr. Ass, a wrestler who mooned opponents and briefly wore see-through tights. For a brief time he renamed himself "The One" Billy Gunn and teamed with Wrestling/TheBigShow and they became the Show Gunns.

He was inducted into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame in 2019 as part of D-Generation X's group induction. He's currently employed by Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, mostly as a producer but also as a wrestler. His last singles action was in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal on the November 20, 2019 episode of ''AEW Dynamite'', but he's since returned to the tag team ranks, teaming with his son Austin as Gunn Club.

* ParentChildTeam: Working as a tag team called Gunn Club in AEW with his son Austin.

* BreakupBreakout: Was the more successful tag team partner of both the Smoking Gunns and the New Age Outlaws. Bart Gunn's US career is nowhere near as successful as Billy's for the former. For the latter, he won one more Hardcore title, two more Tag Team titles (with Chuck Palumbo) and lasted two more years in WWF after the Road Dogg left.

He was inducted into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame in 2019 as part of D-Generation X's group induction. He's currently employed by Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling as a producer, and last took part in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal on the 20th November 2019 episode of ''AEW Dynamite''.
