Gunn has been wrestling for 3-decades.
Billy Gunn has been a fixture in pro wrestling for over three decades, and the current AEW star was asked by Chris Van Vliet if he has any plans to retire any time soon:
"I wish I knew, I don't feel too bad. But a lot of it is the way that I take care of myself. I mean, yeah, do I wake up and everything until I get moving? Yeah. I just found I have two stress fractures in my back, but they don't stop me from doing what I do, it doesn't hinder me, but I can still do what I do at a pretty good level. I mean, I'm not gonna go out there and go 25 minutes with Will [Ospreay], that ain't happening. But do I still have equity in the company? Can I still bring something? Damn right. I can because the minute I step out there those people go nuts and they start saying my name. So as long as I bring value and it's not, you know, if I go out there and they go, Oh, God really? The first time I hear that I'll quit. But as long as I can do something to help The Acclaimed or help the company or help my kids, yeah, I'll stay around. There's no reason I can't…”
Gunn continued by saying:
“I have no problem just being The Acclaimed’s sidekick. I love it. Because I get to run around talk to people act like a goofball interact when I want to and work every now and then. When I work it's nothing crazy. My kids asked me that they go, did you just take a triple powerbomb? Go What are you thinking? I went, I thought it would help the match. [They go] Okay, don't ever do that again. I said okay. Well, I thought in my head it did. But as long as I can do that, and I feel good and I'm not...you know, it's a struggle. The only thing that is a struggle is flying these days. Because I hate it. Yeah, but I mean, as long as I'm still having fun and doing what I do, and I can bring something to help I'm in, I'm good…”
