Billy Gunn discusses potential arrival of WWE Hall of Famer X-Pac to AEW
AEW star Billy Gunn recently discussed the possibility of two-time WWE Hall of Famer X-Pac joining the Jacksonville-based promotion.
In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Gunn expressed his admiration for Waltman's talent but suggested that it may not be the right time to team up with him.
"I don't know if that's the thing right now because I think you'd be hard-pressed to get Tony [Khan] to get me away from The Acclaimed right now. No, I mean it would be great. I think we...we've tried to get, um, Sean [Waltman] in here a couple of times, things just didn't work out. But if the time's right I think he'd be a great asset because he still has you know (...) huge popularity and everybody knows him. And he's such a good guy that he'd not only help the younger talent as well as be a good, good representative for our company. He'd be amazing if we could get him in here," said Billy Gunn.
