Billy Gunn in most of his career as part of stables where he was often recognized as a tag-team specialist and by far he has had very less rivalries as in single feuds with wrestlers. But there were some which are so memorable that can’t be left unspoken. So, today we will unveil some of his greatest moments, matches, and rivalries which also prove how good of a wrestler Gun is even if it is to fight in a singles bout. He may not be with WWE but his work and design to make a tag-team roster will always be considered important.

Mankind

Mankind has been viciously battered by the Corporate Ministry before limping out to the ring to meet the Bad Ass Billy Gunn. Gunn had hoped for a forfeit from the Hardcore Legend, but Mankind arrived enraged and ready to exact his vengeance. The new Gunn, on the other hand, would seize control early by tossing Foley into the ring steps and barriers. Mr. Socko would assist Foley, but Gunn would react with a piledriver and Fame Asser to dispatch the legend.

Chris Benoit

Billy Gunn was on his way to recover his Intercontinental Championship when he saw Chris Benoit. Gunn would dominate the bout from the start, but The Crippler would claw his way back into it by attacking Gunn’s leg in the hopes of preventing him from utilising the Fame Asser. Even after many German suplexes, Gunn managed to make a comeback, but the leg injuries proved too much. Benoit would lock in the Crossface, forcing Mr. Ass to tap.

The Rock

The Rock and Billy Gunn would battle at SummerSlam in the greatest match of Mr. Ass’s career, with the loser facing the ultimate humiliation of kissing the winner’s buttocks. Gunn would be able to hold his own against The Great One and win the most of the battle. He’d even forego a Rock Bottom in order to give a Fame Asser. The People’s Champion would eventually stage a comeback, flattening Gunn with a Rock Bottom before landing the People’s Elbow for the three-count.
