This deserves it's own thread.

We can confirm that former WWE star and DX member Billy Gunn has signed with WWE to return as a full-time trainer for their NXT developmental territory. The two sides started talking back at WrestleMania 28 and he was signed on part-time with NXT in July. As of this writing, he will NOT be appearing on television. He has also taken steps to clean up his life and appears to be sober these days.

His real-life best friend, Brian “Road Dogg” James, is currently an agent with WWE.

This is fucking shit, Outlaws should be tag champs already.

Remember how awesome they were at the 1k Raw, still two of the most charismatic guys out there.

I'm sure he will work his way back to TV. With the "rebirth" of the tag division, the timing seems appropriate.

Cool. Was always a fan of Billy Gunn. Wish it was a full time wrestling deal though, with him getting to main event a PPV.

HE'S GOT IT ALL!

Glad to see him back in the WWE family. It seemed wrong that he wasn't before with all he contributed in the Attitude Era and pretending to be gay.

Expect Josh Matthews to be replaced on Are You Serious soon.

Can't wait for Puppet H/Billy Gunn confrontation.

Honestly, if I heard the Assman theme during the rumble I'd probably wet myself.

I remember that was the first WWF theme I downloaded when I started downloading themes on the internet because it was like my favorite WWF theme at the time.

Classic.

No real point in putting Billy Gunn on television, just takes away time from the guys that deserve it. In all respect for his in ring accomplishments, he's paid his dues and was a staple entertainer of the attitude era. Best of him to give his lasting contribution by training the talent of tomorrow in NXT and not push it beyond that.

I am wondering if this is done to induct Degeneration X into the Hall of Fame this year or next.
What are the odds Chyna is allowed back on stage?

Tazz Dan

Chris Benoit would get in before Chyna at this point in time.

When I first started watching WWE, I was an instant mark for Billy Gunn. Something about him just stood out as likeable and worth watching. The 2001 Royal Rumble solidified my fandom, as both Kane and Billy Gunn made the final four, and they were two of my favourites.

So you can actually thank/blame Billy Gunn and Kane for Noid Posts. Others would be Test, Matt Hardy and William Regal.

On the topic of Billy Gunn being back with WWE -- awesome. The man competed at a high level and knew how to hold interest, even if he never did make it to the top. They tried to push him in an era where Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Triple H were available options to be your top guy. Tough competition.

If the WWE presents a Tag Team of the Year Slammy, Edge & Christian should be the official presenters only for The New Age Outlaws to crash the party. That would be a pretty entertaining dream interaction.
