�Former WWF Tag Team Champion (6) | Billy Gunn was formerly one-half of the 3-time WWF tag-team champion, Smoking Gunns. The New Age Outlaws appeared in late summer 1997. Billy Gunn was approached by Jesse James to form a tag team. Gunn ditched his then-mentor, The Honkey Tonk Man, and his gimmick, Rockabilly, to join forces with the fellow mid-carder. By November of 1997, the Outlaws had captured the gold from the Legion Of Doom. The NAO held the titles until Wrestlemania 14, where they lost a dumpster match against the Hardcore legends, Cactus Jack and Terry Funk. The Outlaws protested and the titles were held up until the next night, when they defeated the Legends and reaptured the belts. That same night, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn and "Road Dogg" Jesse James became the newest members of DX. Since joining forces with new attitudes to go along with their new nicknames, the Road Dog Jesse James and Bad Ass Billy Gunn have done anything and everything to make enemies within the tag team ranks. Whether it is stealing Los Boricuas� clothes and jewelry or smashing a boom box over the head of Mosh, Mr. Dog and Mr. Ass have done nothing but frustrate and anger their opponents with their disrespectful and childish demeanor. However, no team has more reason to seek revenge on these two wise-guys than the legendary Legion of Doom. Not only have the New Age Outlaws stolen the infamous spiked shoulder pads of Animal and Hawk, but many Federation experts feel that the new champions robbed the L.O.D. by cheating their way to victory to take the Tag Team belts. Then recently in the War Zone, the Road Dog and Bad Ass Billy Gunn did the unthinkable by dismantling and disrespecting Hawk and Animal in a way that no one has ever dared. As the Legion of Doom were involved in a match with D-Generation X, the New Age Outlaws appeared rings ride. Billy distracted Hawk as the Road Dog crept up behind him, pouring some type of chemical solvent into a rag. Jesse then covered Hawk's mouth with the rag, eventually knocking him unconscious. Shawn, Hunter, and Chyna pummeled Animal, while Bad Ass Billy shaved Road Warrior Hawk's famous mohawk. The five superstars then turned their attention to Animal, by powerbombing him off the ring apron and on to the announcer�s table. While he lay motionless among cracked wood and smashed TV monitors, Billy and Shawn took turns coming off the top rope to further injure the disgraced Hawk. As the legendary Legion of Doom lay badly beaten around the ring, it seemed as if Billy and Jesse may have successfully begun their plot to do away with the L.O.D for good. The next legendary duo "Mr. Dog" and "Mr. Ass" looked to retire was the team of Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie. After locking the two Hardcore Legends in a garbage dumpster and dropping it nearly twenty feet to the concrete floor, it appeared as though the Outlaws had accomplished their feat. But, Cactus and Chainsaw made a comeback and squared off against the Road Dog and Badd Ass at WrestleMania XIV. Although the hardcore duo won the match that night, the decision was overturned the following evening. A rematch was ordered that night, and with the help of D-Generation X, the Outlaws regained the titles. As D-Generation X and the New Age Outlaws annihilated the Legion of Doom and jointly celebrated the assumed destruction of Cactus Jack and Terry Funk, it became apparent that something was beginning to unfold between the two most heinous teams in the World Wrestling Federation. Recently, when Triple H decided to bolster up the DX ARMY, the first tag team he looked to was the New Age Outlaws. With the belts firmly wrapped around their waists, and their status in D-Generation X as full fledged members, the future has never looked brighter for the Road Dog and Badd Ass--which may be a bad thing for their fellow tag team superstars!
