As for Holly....meh. People like the hardcore stuff. He still sucks though.

I agree with a lot of what you just said, but I think Billy Gunn managed to maintain the face reaction they got. Billy Gunn got major pops when he came out by himself, and when he went solo against DX. The One wasn't his best angle, but it was good enough for him to get pops from people whenever he showed up. And Billy & Chuck is by far the best gay angle I've ever seen in the WWE. They could work as faces or heels, getting some of the best reactions of the night either way.
I'm not saying that Billy Gunn & Hardcore holly are the best wrestlers, but whether or not they put on five star matches, they do get pretty good reactions everytime they hit the ring.
