Billy Gunn Shares That He Has Two Stress Fractures In His Back

Gunn opens up about a nagging pain he deals with.

In his 60s, Billy Gunn remains an active in-ring performer. He has tallied up nearly 40 years as a pro wrestler.

Gunn guest appeared on Fuel & Flex with Charlie William Parks and spoke about how he keeps himself in shape. He discussed his workout methods, and while talking about doing squats, Gunn shared that he has 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 laughed.

Gunn has a double contract with All Elite Wrestling. He is a producer in addition to being signed as a talent. He was last on television as part of Anthony Bowens’ singles run.
