Billy Gunn is 58 (going on 59 in a couple months). He's not only older than Taker, but also Goldberg AND Steve Austin! A true freak of nature @RealBillyGunn https://t.co/oYMEAbeZFe
@eesy_o I had to double check. F--- a duck! It kinda takes the gloss off of an interstellar career now.
Aww well, we're all the same only by being human, I suppose. https://t.co/LfM0PIdbp5
@eesy_o He’s the “deadman”, real age unknown.
@eesy_o Billy has great genetics and good doctors - and lucky genetics to still be as healthy as he with his...diet regimen
@eesy_o Taker took way more risks with his body..
Billy still looks unreal
@eesy_o @ChicagoAEWFan And Mark looks old enough to be Billy’s dad. Deadman indeed! https://t.co/onQLnf2LBP
@eesy_o Man’s 58 literally almost 60 and still fighting https://t.co/yHxzKy1pld
@HammerSticks22 @eesy_o One sold his soul to the devil, one is the devil.
Taker was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year by Vince McMahon. Gunn made the class of 2019 along with his D-Generation X stablemates when he had just signed with All Elite Wrestling.
Billy Gunn recently disagreed with The Undertaker's comments on talent being 'soft' in the ring these days
The two legends clashed on multiple occasions when they were with WWE in the 90s. Billy Gunn also assisted fellow DX member Shawn Michaels to escape The Undertaker during their feud.
Last year, The Deadman appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience and stated that current superstars are "soft" when it comes to their in-ring personas.
The former WWE star responded to The Phenom's comments at Wrestlefest Asia Virtual Meet & Greet, highlighting the difference in times and generation when they were at their peak versus now.
“I heard him on Joe Rogan [The Joe Rogan Experience] and it was an awesome interview. Soft? I guess we were just brought up a different way. If you don’t work, you work hurt, you work endless dates. These kids don’t work like that anymore. Like I said earlier, we worked 300 days out of the year, and that’s not a joke. We did that for years."
