Billy Gunn is a self-proclaimed parent's worst nightmare.
In the Attitude Era, Billy Gunn was one of the members of D-Generation X that popularized crotch chops and telling people to "suck it." Twenty-five years later, Billy Gunn is in AEW, and as "Daddy Ass," he invites everyone to scissor with him.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda's WrestleBinge, Gunn says that he believes scissoring is just as popular as the crotch chop was, but in its own way to account for the popularity of WWE's Attitude Era.
"Yeah, I think so. They're both amazing, right? I was just at a signing this weekend, and people would come up to me, and they have their kids, and I'd go, 'I get it. I'm a parent's worst nightmare.' I go from sucking it to scissoring, right? I don't know how my career has been so not parent-oriented," he joked. "I don't know., I think it's just two different eras and two different things. 'Suck It' was with the DX stuff. It was iconic. There's nothing that's going to touch that because it was just so special, and it was so good.
"Not saying that this isn't. This is just something else," he continued. "It's just different. The crotch chopping and all that stuff was in that era, which was amazing. Now, everybody is still — I walk through the airport and all I do is scissor. It's crazy. On the other hand, it's amazing because you don't realize until you walk through the airport, or you're going through Walmart, or somewhere people are, that's all they want to do. So, on the one hand, it shows you how special it is, and I just think the two were different, but at the same breath, they are the same."
In the past, Tony Khan has encouraged people scissoring at school because it's a great way to greet friends. Learn more here.
