5 things learned from AEW star Billy Gunn's Sportskeeda interview

#4 Billy Gunn on what Sting offers to AEW at this stage in his career

WWE Hall of Famer Sting has taken AEW by storm since signing with the promotion in December 2020.

The Icon has also surprised fans by competing inside the ring on a semi-regular basis, despite being 62 years of age.

Billy Gunn stated that despite his age, Sting still has a lot to offer AEW:

"Sting's an icon. He's a great wrestling figure and he still has something that people want to see. I worry about this performing with the boys also. Do people really care about me? Do they care about seeing me? But they do and it's the same thing with Sting. You still want to see him," Gunn opined.

Sting is currently undefeated in All Elite Wrestling, boasting a 4-0 record in tag team competition.

#3 AEW wrestler Billy Gunn shares his thoughts on Owen Hart's legendary ribbing

AEW recently announced a partnership with The Owen Hart Foundation to present exclusive merchandise, licensing and the inaugural The Owen Hart Cup Tournament.

Billy Gunn recalled that he didn't witness any legendary Owen Hart ribs but, like most wrestling fans, has heard the stories of The King of Harts' incredible pranks:

"We were lucky that we only came in on the back-end of when all the ribs started to go away because I heard, through the grapevine, that there was a lot of craziness that they would do and some of them were wild and I was like 'I don't want any part of that.' I'm not much of a ribber but Owen was and it wasn't harmful things, it was funny things that you never really expected from him," Gunn recalled.

There has been no confirmation on when the inaugural The Owen Hart Cup Tournament will take place. However, all AEW fans have already begun to anticipate who could be the first winner of "The Owen."
