"Not a ripoff" - AEW star Billy Gunn lashes out at a fan for criticizing Dumpster Match on Dynamite

AEW has received some backlash for a recent Dumpster Match, which didn't sit right with Billy Gunn. The legend has now responded to the criticism in style.

The Acclaimed and The Gunn Club were firmly aligned not too long ago. However, a shocking betrayal from Austin and Colten Gunn ended the unorthodox faction. During last night's Dynamite, the two teams finally got their hands on each other during the promotion's first-ever Dumpster Match.

After the contest, a Twitter user called out Tony Khan for seemingly using one of WWE's gimmick bouts on his promotion's programming. In response, Gunn set the record straight, highlighting that he was integral to the original Dumpster Match in 1998.

"It’s not a ripoff if it was my match. My kids “get it”genius," Billy Gunn tweeted.

Unfortunately for Billy Gunn, his sons came up short and were pushed off the stage while in the dumpster. Despite their defeat, The Gunn Club has had an impressive run in All Elite Wrestling over the past year.
