PINNING ADDICTION TO THE MAT (actual mat) –
March 12, 2023 – “You did it, babe! @RealBillyGunn Another year, that now makes [12] years SOBER!” Gunn’s wife Paula Sopp tweeted, sharing a photo of the two. “To say I’m proud is an understatement!! Daily triggers around you all the time but you maintain and do the right thing. It’s not easy but you’ve done it! I love you.”
“Thanks love of my life,” Gunn responded.
As Gunn celebrates this important milestone, he continues to be a focal figure in the tag team division of All Elite Wrestling, caught in the middle of a feud between The Acclaimed and his real-life sons, Colten and Austin — better known as the Ass Boys. Outside of his recurring on-screen appearances, Billy Gunn maintains his backstage roles as a coach and producer as well. The road wasn’t easy, but through his strength and dedication, Gunn put his life back on track and now serves as a mentor for many professional wrestlers.
