Tonight after a brief chat with Monty Sopp aka Billy Gunn aka Mr Ass where I tweeted he & RoadDogg should be on Hunter's team at SS he's agreed to do a Q&A for us!

So please put forward your questions for the 1999 King of the Ring, the 10x Tag Team World Champion, the former Intercontinental Champion, the Ass Man! Billy Gunn!
_{(keep it clean and polite, any questions that are deemed unsuitable will be removed)}

Whats Roaddogg upto?

If you could and had you been asked would you and roaddog of liked to have been a part of dx reforming ?

Would you rather have been mainly working in the WWE during Attitude Era as the Intercontinental Champion when there were guys at the top of their game like Austin, the Rock, Undertaker, Kane, DX, etc or would you rather be working now in the main event of the current setup in the WWE where there aren't as many true greats active.

Did you have 'Ass' implants?

On a serious note excellent work Hero to get a guy of Gunn's star power for a Q&A....

Austin, Hogan, Rock... But who do you have at 4?

Hopefully it comes to fruition, he's following me which is better than Gunner did as that made it impossible to contact Gunner with further details. Seems a top bloke!

You are obviously very well known as a tag team wrestler, with the Smoking Gunns, The New Age Outlaws and Billy and Chuck being the 3 that stand out, what are your particular memories of these teams and what would you say was your favorite to be a part of?

What was your least favourite incarnation ?

What are the chance's of you returning to TV with either WWE/TNA?

- What city has the best atmosphere for pro wrestling?

- Do you associate particular cities with special moments in your career and if so, which city is the most special and why?

- Whilst competing in WWF/E, which fellow wrestler did you learn most from / improve your craft most while feuding with or teaming with?

- If there was one angle or storyline from wrestling history that you could have been involved in, which would it be?

- Which wrestlers are most like and dislike their characters in your opinion?

Wow - Billy Gunn is one of my favourite guys!

I need to think of some questions. Me and my best mate always wanted the WWE to release Mr. Ass pyjamas on Shopzone (like his shorts with lips on the ass) - which now sounds like a worryingly, confused, homoerotic desire from two young boys... but it made sense at the time.

Were there ever any plans to respond to the two letters requesting the manufacture of Mr. Ass pyjamas?

I'm going to think of some proper questions. What a coup - I think Billy Gunn is ace!

Do you think creating the 'Voodoo Kin Mafia' has harmed your standing with WWE and specifically, Vince?

You and BG took a lot of pot shots at the WWE during your time in TNA, was this born out of bitterness and frustration and do you now regret them?

Great coup Maccs

I'm fully aware of the storyline reason The Roadie and Rockabilly got together but who had the initial idea to put you two together and did it surprise anyone how massively over the New Age Outlaws became?

By the Summer of 99 it looked like you where on a path to the main event in the WWF, what or who do you feel halted your progress?

Do you look back at any point in your career and regret how you acted or re-acted to a certain situation? If so what?

During any of the DX reunions/ comebacks, were you ever approached to return with Road Dogg?

If you were head booker in the WWE who would you make IC champ and WHC and why?

Do you think Tag Team wrestling is a dying art in the WWE?

Who do you think was the most underrated wrestler in the Attitude era?

Cheers for the questions so far guys, some good ones coming in (and bizarre ones too Electric).
Keep them coming!

What was the back stage reaction to Bart Gunn winning the Brawl For All and feeding him to Butterbean at WrestleMania XV?

What was the thinking behind splitting The Smoking Gunns up and was there any real heat between Bart and yourself?

Was Rockabilly a rib or did someone seriously believe that could and would get over? If so who?

Being a Tag Team wrestler for the majority of you're career, and being in one of the most popular teams of the attitude era, what do you think about the current direction and quality of WWE's tag division?

What's your favourite flavour of cheesecake?

During your time on the indie scene since splitting with TNA, is there anyone who you feel is destined for better things and someone we should watch out for?

Did you ever put forward any storyline ideas for yourself, and what was the reaction? Do any wrestlers get any real input in their characters and storylines in WWE?

Do you know when you will get answers from him Hero?

I don't think he has compiled his list of questions yet Miky

Nope I'll leave it open a bit longer for a few more questions to come in.

In the meantime though, XPac has posted up a video which has Billy Gunn and Road Dogg discussing how a match is going to go down backstage with Scott Steiner.

What is your favourite rib that happened in WWE

What was your most enjoyable fued? Be it tag or singles.

Who didnt you enjoy working with?

Anybody you didnt wrestle that you would have liked to?

Probably one of my all time favourite wrestlers in WWF/E & TNA.

Had the pleasue of meeting him here, albeit briefly, when he came to wrestle, a few years back, decent guy.

Who do you think could make it into main event status in the WWE either off the current roster or possibly coming in ?

If you were offered the chance to come back to WWE, would you?

What would you change about today's Wrestling Product? (WWE's)

If you could be a writer for one day, what storyline would you have, and who would you include in it? (Using today's WWE Roster)

Where was Mr.Ass going in terms of storyline, before you were injured and thrown out of DX (Around 2000)

Who didn't you like to work with during WWF & TNA, Who wouldn't sell moves and were hard to work with?

What is your view on the Hardy Boy's?

If you didn't get injured after winning KotR where do you think you would have ended up? the previous winners The Rock and HHH were rocketed stright into the main event ant the WWE title.

The Rock didn't win the King of The Ring

My mistake I mean't Steve Austin.

I second this question, I'd love to know how they felt seeing their colleague put in such obvious danger

What did you think of Edge's comment in 2001 when he "vowed not to 'Billy Gunn' winning King of the Ring"?

What did you think of 'The One' gimmick, did you see it going anywhere? And how did you feel about teaming with Chyna around this time?

During your run in VKM, you and BG James said you'd put up $1 million to fight Paul Levesque and Michael Hickenbottom. Do you know if they heard about your challenge and what was their reaction to it?

Just to let everyone know, Billy Gunn has now got the questions via email so hope tohear something back over the coming days!

brilliant stuff mate

Well done Hero, if we get some answers its a great coup de gras for the V2.

Lets hope 'The One' doesnt let us down

You heard anything yet, Hero?

I pm'd him the other day, he said he's had a look but is on the road at the moment so struggling to get round to it...
Don't want to get pushy on him and mither again just yet.

Yeah quite right, he'lk do it in his own time

Or maybe he's not gonna bother answering any of the questions.

Good Gawd Almighty it was a set up all along!

Monty Sopp aka Billy Gunn aka Bad Ass Billy Gunn aka Mr Ass aka The One Billy Gunn aka Rockabilly didn't screw 606v2, 606v2 screwed 606v2

Yeah I didn't mean to sound like I was wanting you to rush him. Just wondered if you had heard anything.
