Anthony Bowens Recalls Being Scared Of Billy Gunn

AEW star and Acclaimed member Anthony Bowens spoke with Everything Is Pro Wrestling on a number of topics, including being scared to talk to “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn when he first joined the company due to something that happened years prior.

Bowens said, โ€œI used to be scared of Billy. When I had my tryout at the Performance Center in 2015, I was doing a drill slightly incorrectly. Itโ€™s a drill where you lay on your back and get up and square off with your opponent. I went down on my back, I went up, and I saw an angry tomato red man looking at me from up above. That sight haunted me for years. I was scared to say hello to him when I first got to AEW. Now, itโ€™s kind of funny that it went from him giving me nightmares to being my dad.โ€
