Appearing on ARWP, the 60-year-old AEW coach and Attitude Era legend gave a brutally honest assessment of the current wrestling landscape, accusing many younger talents of relying too much on flashy moves and not enough on psychology and character-driven conflict.>“Nowadays, nobody knows how to work,” Gunn said. “They don’t know how to work in general.”>“There has to be a reason for us to fight. There has to be a reason for somebody to like me and hate you,” he explained. “Just because we’re going to wrestle, I don’t understand how you get into that.”>“The only conflict we need is, ‘You slapped my wife on the butt.’ Now there’s some tension there. Now I want to see Billy beat you up for touching his wife.”>“Me doing a bunch of wrestling moves and begging you to cheer for me isn’t a thing. That’s not my thing to do. You bought a ticket to watch me. Why am I going to beg you to cheer for me?”>“They just want to go, ‘I’m going to do this move. I want everybody to pop for me first. They pop and then I do it.’”>“In the Attitude Era, I had so much energy and all I said was, ‘I have two words for you,’ and that was it—but there was so much energy. To this day it’s loud and not old.”>“They are so athletic that the people can’t follow along. They just know that at the end of all the moving around, when you stop moving for a second, they go, ‘Yay! Woo!’”>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arwp/id1542316753
No lies told.
We Love Buddy.
AEWtists will get mad at this even though he works there
No school is teaching the newbies how to work, this is true.
>>19686738He's right. Think of the emotional turmoil him turning heel on Paul Wight caused in some fans.
Anyone remember when he had a stalker and he'd post videos absolutely fuming about it. Like genuine blood boiling rage. I'd like to watch those again.
>>19686738>Me doing a bunch of wrestling moves and begging you to cheer for me isn’t a thing.Al Snow syndrome. The only time anyone took notice of Billy Gunn's in-ring was when he dove into a dumpster
If I was Tony I would have had Billy Gunn beat CM Punk for the belt.
>>19686738>Billy Gun
>>19686738Kind of weird for him to be trashing AEW so hard even though the checks in the mail. Is Billy Gunn returning to the E????
>>19686738>doing a bunch of wrestling moves and begging you to cheer for me isn’t a thingIt is now. His gen should've taught better. instead of being selfish fucks
i too am an ass man
>>19686857Link us up
>>19686996Pretty sure they're long, long gone. This was easily 15+ years ago. The amount of wrestling lost media out there must be insane when you think about it.
Isn’t he the fucker training and agenting the AEW faggot wrestlers? You do something about it you roided up geezer.
>>19686738he's not wrong, he knows how to work people into shoots
>>19687061The Show-Gunn reunion we never asked for
>>19686738>The only conflict we need is, ‘You slapped my wife on the butt.’Don't you mean husband Billy?
>>19687042My favourite wrestling lost media might be those old Byte This & Radio WWF episodes, the Hogan vs Bret Summerslam 93 Poster, Those obscure WCW and WWF Internet PPVs from the 90s. Tri-Moon (RIP) made a compilation series of live feeds during old RAW and Smackdown shows that’s worth checking out
>>19686738has he been seen in AEW since that dogshit match vs Jay White?
>>19686879Unironically one of the best spots in all of AEWs entire run
