What was it like for Austin and Colten Gunn to grow up with “Bad Ass” Billy Gunn of New Age Outlaws and D-Generation X fame as their father?
The Gunn Club spoke about this during a recent appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
Colten Gunn on growing up with their father being a popular WWE Superstar in the middle of the Attitude Era: “Sometimes during the summer when we had school off, we were allowed to go with him. He would take us on the road. Me and Austin would just be in the ring goofing off all the time and I remember Vince used to walk by and be like, ‘Get the hell off the ring!’ He was mad. Yeah, but we got to interact with everyone backstage, and we knew them all personally.”
Colten Gunn on displaying an accomplishment of his dads in school: “I remember one time in second grade, I took his tag team championship belt in for show and tell. I was pretty cool. But going back to that way, we weren’t really allowed to watch wrestling that much. It was the Attitude Era, and we were young, and my mum was a little sheltered for me and Austin, trying to keep us sheltered. Another funny thing is we used to have to do the ‘suck it’ but we were never allowed to say it.”
