Watch the full interview with Billy Gunn on my main channel here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8CfZJWGl8-0hoE.html

This is why Billy was partnered with The Road Dog Jesse James. To hide his promo weakness since the Road Dog was such a legend on the mic.

It's good that Billy is taking this with no hatred in his heart. He was always on The Rock side one way or another when it came to talking about the business, and how Rock is in person

One of the best Rock promos that solidified his status in my opinion.

I liked when Edge promised not to “Billy Gunn” the King of the Ring.

That promo was the funniest thing I heard at the time

After watching Wrestling Bios it really shows that it was bad bookings that killed Billy’s singles run. Rock’s promo didn’t change the course.

Billy Gunn seems so cool and chill

“…and then Billy, as fear went through your body, tears went down your cheeks, AND PISS ROLLED DOWN YOUR LEG!” 😂😂😂

I like Billy's take. I honestly always felt that Road Dogg and Billy were just the guys that they fed to anyone that were gonna work against DX

"Bob. But my name is Billy. It doesn't matter what your name is !" - The Rock

I had no idea how badly I needed to hear this interview.

My name's Billy It doesn't matter what your name is

The part where The Rock said “Everybody still thinks THAT I ABSOLUTELY SUCK!” gets me every time 😂😂😂😂😂

That promo killed his singles career and he knows it😂

Lookin good Billy

Just listened to this episode this afternoon at work. Happy to see him still working. As a kid watching the Mr ass gimmick was hilarious.

The only time I can think of when someone was completely shut out on the mic and in the ring for a short program and still elevated.

I like Billy Gunn here and he's saying what we all thought: people thought that promo buried him. The whole point is of every promo is to bury each other. I thought people made too much of it. It's not any different to what he says to everyone else.

Great to see Bob finding it funny

Billy could play John Cena's dad in anything💯

One of my fav matches as a kid was Rock teaming up with Billy and I think also Chyna. I was so hyped for that cause they put aside their diffr and put on a great performance.

Kudos to Billy for being such a good sport about it.

Billy Bob Gunn

billy's being pretty humble here because he wasn't the only person production allowed rock to no sell their promos or responses, rock was constantly going into business for himself and burying people and no selling their talk, im surprised he didnt get more heat for it backstage, id be mad if production kept cutting my mic while rock gets to own me over and over, and then when your frustrated your mic is getting cut by production it *looks* like you are getting worked by rock burying you even further

Daddy ass is so chill. Not that he not wrestling and is with the Acclaimed he is even funnier.

It actually seems like he's better at promos nowadays. Love when he gets on the mic now

Still The Rock's best promo of all time.

They feud was fun

The Rocks Prayer was one of the best ever

"My name's Billy" is also a line from the horror movie Black Christmas (1975). I wonder if Rock or his writer got it from that.

I actually just watched this promo back…. And I can say I spoke without hearing the words. Billy wasn’t buried… the writing for the character just didn’t push him to the heights…

After that promo....Vince Mcmahon looks to Billy and says...Bob...Midcard....that's your future....no more singles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wrestling is such an interesting business, there's this entire subtext to everything we see.

He can say all he wants, but he was never the same after that promo. S-tier burial if ive ever seen one.

bob .. butttttt my name is billy......IT DOSENT MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS. good memories..

They should actually bring him back to the WWE with the story of a oldshool tough guy, showing those young Punks whats really going on. Like Heath Slater figthing all the oldshool dudes, but this time the other way around.. After that he could do work as a Mananger part cause we dont really got notable managers anymore. And he would be a massive manage who even ca nstep in and do stuff.

"Nothing's ever malicious." Ahmed Johnson might beg to differ! 😂

Fine... I guess I got to go watch the promo again foe the millionth time. Rock really was the best.

Many say those Energy drinks will ruin your prostate. Ouch

According to Prichard, Rock wasn’t exactly thrilled about working with Billy…for Rock, it must’ve felt like a step down. The hope I guess, was that Rock could elevate Billy as a heel, but that didn’t happen

Arguably the greatest promo of The Rock's career

i never got the promo lol

My opinion, Austin would do the same exact thing. A lot of guys would be in the middle of a great promo and Austin would either flip em off and the crowd would lose it or just go "What?" and all the heat is gone.

The Rock cut an even better promo on Billy Gunn going into that match. They never show it and I can't find it anywhere. The Rock sounded a bit angrier and was more personal. He basically was upset at Vince for booking a match against Billy Gunn. He basically called him a "jobber" and talked about main eventing PPVs with guys like Austin for titles and now he was reduced to having matches with a "Bobby Gunn". Does anyone else remember this?

I mean...that was iconic promo, INSTANTLY one of the top ten promo of all time. It may be the best single target Promo in The Rock's vast repertoire. Including the Kurt Angle Milk, Kane Big Red Retard, Big Show AHAHAHAHHHHHAHH, and my personal favorite, "The Undertaker's 33 pound head." And Mr. Ass was already super over so it didn't matter. But I cried laughing at that. I'm glad Billy enjoyed it as much as we did. And with the Nation vs DX parodies...hell of a time to be a fan.

On our screens again soon. Cobra Kai season 6.

Billy always have and will be a fan. But that was what was supposed to have happen. They (Vince) wanted Rock to crush your heat. HE was the new face after Stone Cold. We would later see Cena, as great as he is, totally crush any heat his opponent had. At one time HBK crushed any heat Bret had. So yea, it happened how it was planned. More than likely from Vince.

he does mind he just explained it in a polite way but it sounded like he was really pissed about it

Yeah I feel him here. Because his 'feud' with The Rock sucked largely due to just not booking Billy Gunn in a way where the audience could take him seriously. Of course that promo simply needs to exist because of how good it was, but there were other things that were more egregious that probably should have been handled better. It didn't do anyone any favors, including The Rock making Gunn look as weak as they did.

The Rock had his own writer?!

So called fans saying The Rock buried Billy during this. Is a total idiot!

Why not show the promo?

I think people who think Rock was trying to bury Billy's push with that promo are just working themselves into a shoot. Billy said himself he wasn't the best promo. The only thing Billy did wrong was be a midcarder trying to move up the card into one of the most stacked main event level rosters in the history of wrestling. You had to be a truly complete performer to have a chance at that level, because if you couldn't hang with Rock in a promo, you sure as hell weren't gonna make it against Stone Cold or Triple H. Everybody in that main event echelon back then had a full grasp of the business, they knew how to work in the ring and on the mic, if you couldn't do both, you weren't ready yet. It's not like that promo was particularly malicious, it was just a great Rock promo to throw on the pile of great Rock promos. If one Rock promo is enough to bury you, you are probably already laying in the hole waiting for him to throw dirt on you anyway.

Anybody who knows wrestling knows that isn't just the best delivery of it doesn't matter what your name is that was the very first time the Rock said "it doesn't matter what your name is."

I watched the promo. I could have sworn Billy Gunn was out there with The Rock. 2. I also thought this was on Raw & not Heat their like 3rd tier show or lower. I know Billy says he doesn't care & he did it for fun. Like he says that now. I'm not so sure he felt that way back then. Yeah this promo probably ruined his career. However if Billy was just there for a pay day then yeah he doesn't like wrestling as much as he claims.

It was a legendary promo, but to say it ‘buried’ him? He was in DX, one of the biggest factions around in those times, and a multiple tag team champion. Wasn’t exactly a jobber was he?

Is it me or does he look like Cena?

Lesnar Gunn?

How old is this guy? He’s jacked …what’s he on?

This is why I think guys like Roberts and Foley are far better at promos than Rock and Cena, those latter two just completely buried their opponents and not many wrestlers came out better after feuding with them.

Rock was pissed being in a program with Billy and went out there to kill Billy’s singles career and he did that it shows a lot about Billy that he’s never held a grudge and had always been able to have fun with the promo

Billy is being too fake, what's the point of not telling the truth and giving his real feelings, he's already 60

Damn Billy is jacked

When he did the eye roll promo on Undertaker (a man I admire like no other) and said "undertaker you come on down and do that "die die die" and all that stupid crap all you want" I lost my sh*t , like billy says it's wrestling , if you get offended then go do somethin else.
