The Acclaimed Have Attempted To Bring Some Of Billy Gunn’s Past Teammates To AEW

Max Caster doesn’t see a scenario where The Acclaimed will split with Billy Gunn anytime soon.

All Elite Wrestling‘s Max Caster was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked about bringing any of Billy Gunn‘s former teammates into the company, Caster revealed they’ve attempted to bring in names like Chuck Palumbo and Sean Waltman in the past, but it just didn’t work out.

“We’ve tried (to reunite Billy & Chuck Palumbo in AEW),” Max Caster revealed. “He’s a busy guy in his own life, and I finally just met him at an autograph signing a couple of weeks ago, and he was (a) nice guy, amazing guy. He’s like, ‘You work with Billy? I worked with Billy!’ And it seemed like he doesn’t follow but, just having that connection and a conversation with him about our tag team partner is a special thing so, I don’t know if he’ll ever show up on the show. I wish he would.

“We’ve tried Bart Gunn, we’ve tried Rico (Constantino), I think we’ve tried Sean Waltman. No one is showing up for Billy except for Max Caster and Anthony Bowens… They would all be great. They all, I think, deserve a little bit of a moment along with us because we’ve given Billy so much, Billy’s given us so much.

“But they’re part of that family, too. So, if they ever want to, if it ever comes up, the invitation is always there. But if they’re busy, they’re busy. They have their own lives, and not everyone can be a wrestler on TV all the time.”

When asked about the possibility of The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn going their separate ways, Caster said he believes there would have to be some animosity there first.

“I don’t feel the animosity yet (that would cause The Acclaimed to split),” Max Caster said. “And you would think, right? It has (been almost four years) and it doesn’t feel like that because we can look back on the start, and it seems like yesterday.” [H/T: POST Wrestling]
