## Smoking Gunns(1993-1996)

Billy Gunn debuted at Smackdown 46 as one half of the Smoking Gunns along with Bart Gunn as they lost to Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler

Smoking Gunns just wanted to become world tag team champions and they weren't scared of anyone on their way even if they were more accomplished, they started a feud with Heavenly Bodies to determine the NO1 contenders to the tag team belts and they defeated them after Heavenly Bodies' manager Jim Cornette turned on them and joined Smoking Gunns turning them heel

During late 1993, Smoking Gunns also feuded with Steiner Brothers briefly giving us the best tag match of the year as the rookies defeated the pros. In march 1994, Steiner Brothers were set to leave Smackdown but shockingly won the world tag titles in their last night, Roddy Piper told Smoking Gunns that if they didn't win the belts at Wrestlemania and brought them back to Smackdown, they would be fired. At Wrestlemania 10, Smoking Gunns defeated Steiner Brothers to become tag team champions for the first time

At Smackdown 90, New Headshrinkers faced Smoking Gunns but it ended in a DQ as Fatu refused to stop his leg hold after Billy got to the ropes causing the tag team to turn babyface again, Smoking Gunns would only give them tag title shots if they were able to defeat them in singles competition. At In Your House 11 Sione defeated Bart Gunn and Fatu defeated Billy Gunn and they became world tag team champions in the july 8th episode of Smackdown.

They continued their feud with them as Smoking Gunns won the tag belts back on the september 30th episode of Smackdown in the best tag team match of the year. At Smackdown 117, Jim Cornette turned on the team to form Camp Cornette with Yokozuna and Crush. At Wrestlemania 11, RAW tag team champions Kama and Bundy defeated them to unify both tag belts as the brand split had ended

At Survivor Series 1995, Bart Gunn walked out on Billy during a tag match of theirs but he apologized for it and they kept teaming up, Billy started getting attracted to Chyna and Bart tried snapping him out of it, DX kept mocking him saying Billy is an ass man and he should be proud of it. In march, Bart officially turned on Billy as he attacked him

## D-Generation X and New Age Outlaws(1996-1999)

Bart and Billy started regularly brawling with DX watching with popcorn, this match was scheduled to happen at Wrestlemania 12 but it ended up being cancelled due to Vince Mcmahon himself not finding it interesting and instead replacing the match with Chyna defeating Billy Gunn, after the match Gunn proclaimed he was an ass man and officially joined DX

D-Generation X was in full force as Shawn Michaels tried to find a new tag team partner for Billy to win the tag belts with, at In Your House 20 Billy defeated Bart and in july Billy chose The Roadie as his tag partner as they shockingly defeated Ahmed and Bradshaw to win the tag belts on their first match together

They defended against The One Cold Scorpio and Marc Mero, Papa Shango and Mark Henry, Rob Van Dam and Mikey Whipwreck, The Godwins before losing the belts to Legion of Doom at In Your House 22 but they regained it at Royal Rumble 1997. Throught the year, DX started a feud with Hart Foundation as each stable wanted to hold all of WWF's belts, at Wrestlemania 13 Jim Neidhart and British Bulldog defeated NAO to win the tag team titles.

Hart Foundation continued its feud against DX as at Canadian Stampede there was a big winner take all between DX and Stone Cold vs Hart Foundation where HF won as Owen became WWF champion, Bret became IC champion, Bulldog and Neidhart retained the tag belts. They continued being a part of DX but didn't do much in the tag division, they won the Survivor Series Tag Team Tournament. At the 1998 Royal Rumble Shawn Michaels turned heel and with it all of DX as they allied themselves with Vince Mcmahon

Billy Gunn was involved in some of the biggest RAW moments that brought WWF to mainstream involving Mike Tyson joining DX and being part of a huge 8 men tag team match. At Wrestlemania 14, they failed to win the tag team turmoil for the tag belts which was won by Cactus Jack and Terry Funk.

DX became allies to Vince's The Corporation but as Shawn Michaels started screwing over more people, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn and X-Pac attacked him and ensured that Stone Cold retained the WWF belt against him, 3 weeks afterwards New Age Outlaws defeated Cactus and Funk to become 3 time tag team champions, he also became the NO1 contender to the WWF Championship but was defeated by Stone Cold at Money in the Bank 1998

X-Pac wanted to continue DX as its leader but NAO declared that the group was dead, they lost the tag belts to Headbangers in a ladder match at Summerslam. After X-Pac won the Intercontinental Championship, he called out New Age Outlaws saying that he was better than both of them. In the following weeks he defeated Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, New Age Outlaws in a triple threat AND handicap match to retain the IC belt. At Survivor Series he held another open challenge as New Age Outlaws showed up with Chyna, Chyna defeated Pac to become champion

Pac and NAO became buddies again and in an episode of RAW is WAR, all of DX reunited along with Shawn Michaels to take down The Union and The Corporation. At Judgment Day NAO defeated The Blue Guy and Mr.Imperfect to win the Survivor Series Tag Team Tournament, they teased Jim Cornette that they would end The Union's tag title reign so Cornette dropped the bomb that Wrestlemania 15 will be their last match together as they will be forced to disband afterwards. They started a farewell tour having matches against Owen Hart and Kurt Angle, Test and The Big Show, the returning British Bulldog and Jim Neidhart, Edge and Christian, Bollywood Nova and NAT, APA, Hardy Boyz, Too Much, Legion of Devils, Hardcore Holly and 123 Kid(who went back to this gimmick just for a day), Holly Cousins and Brothers of Destruction effectively facing the whole tag team division and at Wrestlemania 15 they held the tag belts for the last time as they defeated Dan Severn and Dr.Death

## Heel turn and singles run(1999-)

On the RAW after Wrestlemania 15, since Jim Cornette was replaced as co-owner by the higher power, Road Dogg told Gunn that they wouldn't have to vacate the belts and disband but Gunn responded with a fameousser as he turned heel. At Backlash Test defeated Gunn, Road Dogg, X-Pac and Steve Blackman to get a WWF title shot. He wanted to join The Corporation but was continuously mocked by The Rock in a promo completely killing any hopes of a main event push. He entered the MITB match but lost as Road Dogg took him out

Dogg wanted to end Billy Gunn and he accepted his challenge for Summerslam, Billy became hardcore champion during this time but kept losing it, he says he would quickly became the king of the hardcore division if this kept happening. At Summerslam Gunn defeated Dogg to enter the G1
