• “I have two stress fractures in my back that absolutely smoke me” – AEW Legend
During an interview with Fuel & Flex, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW star Billy Gunn revealed that he is dealing with two stress fractures in his back:
“I love to squat. I don’t know what it is. I’m not a huge squatter. I don’t know what it is. I love the feeling, I love the movement. But I have two stress fractures in my back that absolutely smoke me when I do it.
I refuse not to do it. I’m not gonna do it. I found ways to make myself feel safer doing it just in case my back – every time I squat, I box squat. I just stretch and go, only because if something goes, I know that I have something that I can go to instead of going whoom! Trying to wipe out half the gym.”
Gunn’s last match in AEW took place at the Double Or Nothing 2024 PPV. While he hasn’t wrestled in All Elite Wrestling in over a year, he has been active on the indy scene, with his most recent match being on September 15, 2025.
The D-Generation X member will turn 62 on November 1st.
• “I changed what it meant to be a big man in wrestling” – Former Universal Champion
During an interview on TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast, former Universal Champion Braun Strowman made a bold claim about his WWE booking:
“I always joke around if WWE would have ever just let me be me, I would’ve ruled the world. I didn’t have the pencil. So, I did my best I could with what they gave me every week.
I like to think I changed what it meant to be a big man in the wrestling business.
And now here I am with another opportunity in life to go out here and prove naysayers wrong and break these stereotypes that follow around big people like me.”
• Tony Khan Says The Highlight Of Sting’s Retirement Was What He Said To Him Backstage
During an interview with amNewYork, AEW President Tony Khan talked about Sting’s retirement match at Revolution 2024.
Here’s what Khan said:
“Before Sting went out for his last match, as they were showing the video package, and as his sons were about to make their entrances and they were on the stage, that was really special.
Sting said some very nice things to me right before he went out that I’ll never forget about how fantastic his run had been, and how happy he was about all this and the things he said afterwards. That was really probably the highlight.”
Sting appeared at the AEW WrestleDream PPV this past Saturday, where he beat up The Death Riders for interfering in the Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley “I Quit” match.
• “He’s a little undersized, but that’s not an excuse” – WWE Legend Says Chad Gable Can Be A Main Eventer
During an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Kurt Angle praised Chad Gable (who was also portraying El Grande Americano before his injury) and thinks the former Tag Team Champion should be a main eventer in WWE.
Here’s what Angle said:
“I think he’s great. I’m just happy he was able to find his niche. I know it’s kind of identical to mine, but if it works for him I’m happy for him. I think regardless of if he did my character or anyone else’s, I think the kid’s incredibly talented, so he would have succeeded either way.
You know the problem with him, I think it’s only because the office looks at him like this but he’s a little undersized, but that’s not an excuse. Chris Benoit was 5’9″, Eddie Guerrero was 5’8″, Rey Mysterio’s 5’5″, so someone like Chad can be a main eventer.”
