Road Dogg Feels He Could’ve Been A Good Fit As The ‘Uncool’ Member Of The nWo If DX Didn’t Exist
Road Dogg explains why he thinks he would have been a good fit in the nWo if DX did not exist.
The Road Dogg was a huge part of D-Generation X. He and Billy Gunn, collectively known as the New Age Outlaws, captivated audiences with their ability to speak on a microphone and, most times, had those audience members reciting every single word of their shtick along with them verbatim.
However, what if DX did not exist? What would the Road Dogg have done?
When asked these questions during a recent Q&A episode of his Oh… You Didn’t Know podcast, Road Dogg explains why he would have been a better fit in the nWo than The Four Horsemen or any other group.
Dogg jokingly stated that the group needed someone to be uncool, and that’s where he would have fit in perfectly.
“It’s the nWo, don’t you think? Once they lost kid [X-Pac], they needed a piece of white trash that could be — the joke could be on me, do you know what I mean? They had all really cool people. nobody was not cool. Then, of course, it got too big to where, for a while, then everybody in it wasn’t cool. That’s the one. I wouldn’t have fit — I wasn’t a good enough wrestler for The Four Horsemen, and don’t give me your Lex Luger comments, either. I don’t even know who was in The Dangerous Alliance, but I remember it was in the [’90s], and there were some bad people in there.”
Billy Gunn is still wrestling today as part of AEW. He is frequently paired with The Acclaimed and gets audience members to scissor along with him as “Daddy Ass.” Fans can read about Billy comparing DX to The Acclaimed here.
Billy recently appeared to be teasing potential retirement, unlacing his boots and leaving them in the middle of the ring on the July 22 episode of AEW Collision. Learn more here.
