A former U.S. Marine who served in the second Iraq War, Lail got his start in wrestling for the NWA Anarchy promotion in Georgia. He signed with TNA in 2010, first appearing as on-air "security" and eventually winning both the TNA Tag Titles and the now-dormant TNA TV Title. 

Lail left TNA in the summer of 2015 and has been working select independent dates ever since.

It was previously reported back in April that Gunner would be starting with WWE soon.
