Billy Gunn was recently interviewed by The Ring, the Cage, and the Stage. During the interview, Gunn spoke on a wide variety of topics. This includes Chyna not being in the WWE Hall of Fame, his firing for WWE and more.
Below are some of the highlights (h/t to Wrestling INC).
Gunn on his firing from WWE in 2015:
“There’s a lot more to it [getting fired from WWE for failing his PED Test]. The strength and conditioning coach at the Performance Center came to me to do a powerlifting contest. So I trained for it, they tested me, then someone leaked the information about failing my PED test. More to it, but I would rather hold up my end of the bargain to not talk about it. People thought I was doing it to cheat, but I wasn’t. I’m 50 years old, I was on the drug because my levels were completely drained. That’s about it. I don’t hold any grudges, it was bad on my part, but I told them, and didn’t hide anything either.”
On Chyna not being in the WWE Hall of Fame:
“She [Chyna] deserves it more than anyone that’s in there right now. That’s a huge sore subject with me. It’s just bulls–t! I just think Chyna should have been in a long time ago. She did more. It’s who they send. It’s political, they send who they want to send, and that’s wrong. You send who deserves to go. It’s about what you’ve done and contributed to this business and what legacy you left.”
