Road Dogg Reveals Origins Of New Age Outlaws Tag-Team Name, Talks Current Relationship With Billy Gunn


Oh ... you didn't know? Your ass better call somebody.

... or tune into the latest installment of the new podcast hosted by WWE Hall of Fame legend "Road Dogg" Brian James.

During the latest edition of the "Oh ... You Didn't Know" podcast, Road Dogg spoke about the origins of the New Age Outlaws tag-team name, as well as his current relationship with Billy Gunn.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the episode where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.

On the origins of the New Age Outlaws team name: “I was the New Age Outlaw Jesse James Armstrong. That was my name in Memphis in USWA in late ’95 when we (him and Jeff Jarrett) quit (WWE). I went there and started working. I had new clothes made that said New Age Outlaw. I wrestled as the New Age Outlaw, and so when we went there I just said ‘Hey, I would love to use New Age Outlaws’, and so it stuck. I don’t know where I ripped it off from. I’m sure I didn’t come up with it by myself.”

On his relationship with Billy Gunn today: “We’ve literally grown from then to now in our relationship, and I mean, we’ve been through everything, ups and downs and all arounds and we got sober together. I spent this whole weekend with him and our relationship couldn’t be better. I have probably three really good friends in the industry, and he’s one of them. That relationship is just ironclad now. It’s awesome.”
