Billy Gunn is a veteran of the professional wrestling business, and he was fortunate enough to be part of some of the company’s biggest tag teams such as the New Age Outlaws and Billy & Chuck, and he was also part of DX which was one of the most popular stables of all time.
However, after Billy Gunn parted ways with WWE, he took some shots at Triple H in shoot interviews. But during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet of WSVN-TV, the former Intercontinental Champion confirmed that he apologized to Triple H.
“Oh of course I did. It was mostly for me because a lot of it was in my recovery program from being an addict. So a lot of it came from that but I don’t blame it on that at all because all my actions and everything I did were me. It’s more or less so I don’t feel guilty. I felt bad for saying all of those things because everything I said was not true, so I just wanted to clear the air. Like if I do something to you and I feel bad about it, I’ll come back and apologize, you can take it or you don’t have to take it, it’s ok. It’s not selfish, it’s to help me and to stay where I need to stay safe and I’ve been safe for 8 years.”
Gunn also talked about the success of Billy and Chuck, but he noted that he doesn’t think the team would be as successful nowadays.
“It wouldn’t be as surprising because there’s so much diversity and now we have transgender bathrooms and all this other stuff. So nowadays it’s like ‘Oh you’re gay? Oh that’s awesome.’ It’s not that big of a deal. When we did it, it was still kind of that way but it was still a behind the door kind of thing. When we did that, wrestling became instantly real because I had so many people that said to me ‘I knew you were gay. I knew it the entire time you worked here.’ That’s how much they bit into it.”
