Billy Gunn Says He Is In The Best Shape Of His Life

During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet at WrestleCon, AEW veteran Billy Gunn discussed his current mindset with regard to his health and physical condition. The WWE Hall of Famer currently works as a wrestler, coach, and manager of The Acclaimed in AEW.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On having a positive energy now: “I don’t know like, because I love what I do. I mean how can you not enjoy what I do right now. I’m just having so — I mean, with the boys — my real kids and then my new adopted kids — I mean it’s just, right when I think I’m about to get out, I just switch and go somewhere else. And it’s like, ‘God why do people like me?’”

On being in better shape now than in WWE: “I am, only because I put effort into it now. It’s like a lifestyle for me. So people don’t like — it’s never an easy question when they ask me, like, ‘What do you do?’ I go ‘It’s just a lifestyle. It’s not your lifestyle, it’s my lifestyle.’ So my lifestyle is what I enjoy. I love doing this nutrition stuff, I love playing with my workout stuff. Of course Mike, I talk about bad about him, but he’s awesome because he helps me with all my stuff. He got me to where I need to get to, and I’m just happy.

“I needed an outlet besides wrestling, because it just consumed everything that I did. So, a few years ago, when I kind of wanted to start doing shows and kind of get into what this is about instead of just eating everything that was in front of me and just go lift heavy weights and go ‘I’m good, I’m a bodybuilder now!’ It’s like, no, there’s way more into it than that.”
