10 Wrestling Careers That Were Revived by TNA

#5 B.G 'Road Dogg' James & Kip 'Billy Gunn' James

Tried to bring a 'war' to WWE

The Road Dogg and Billy Gunn formed one of the most successful tag teams in WWE history in the late 90's, the New Age Outlaws. The 6 time WWE Tag Team Champions popularity would go to even new heights when they joined D-Generation X and dominated much of the Attitude Era.

After some time spent battling his demons, Road Dogg was fired from WWE in 2001. He spent some time on the independent scene before joining up with TNA in their very early days. Road Dogg, now B.G James, would find great success as apart of the 3 Live Kru stable with R-Truth and Konnan, where they would become 2 time NWA Tag Team Champions, and remained with the company until 2009.

Billy Gunn was released by WE for similar reasons to Road Dogg, in 2004. 'The one' had actually planned on leaving WWE when his contract expired anyway, in hopes of joining TNA. He would join the company as Kip James, in early 2005 and remain with them also until 2009.

As expected, B.G and Kip would eventually reunite, first in the 3 Live Kru, then they returned to being a duo, the James Gang. They then controversially became the 'Voodoo Kin Mafia', an angle that saw them 'wage war' on WWE and D-Generation X. After the team broke up in 2008, B.G's appearances became sporadic until he was released, and Kip soon followed after a manager role with the Beautiful People.

Both men returned to WWE for backstage roles in 2011 and 2012, which Road Dogg still works today.
