Monty "Kip" Sopp, better known as Billy Gunn, was fired today as a trainer by WWE due to testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone in a powerlifting meet from July 25.

 

Gunn's drug test at the meet came up with a 37-1 testosterone/epitestosterone ratio, well over the 4-1 limit, and he was suspended from powerlifting for four years.

 

Billy Gunn, 52, had returned to WWE as a trainer in 2012 after several years away from the organization. He worked as an agent and a trainer, and had a New Age Outlaws nostalgia run in recent years, winning the tag team titles with Road Dogg in early 2013.

 

He had done occasional run-ins at the end of some NXT shows with he and the babyface wrestlers ending shows doing DX crotch chops. Most recently, he had appeared on television as one of the trainers on Tough Enough and Breaking Ground.

 

WWE officials were not aware of him competing as a powerlifter until a few weeks ago or his suspension from that sport.

 

What a mad fucker. He had such a sweat gig there.

That testosterone level is insane. I remember seeing him doing shoot interviews while in TNA outright saying steroids were the only thing holding him together. As others have said, you only had to look at him to know it was still the case.

 

You wouldn't expect anything different from any promoter so whatever, but have to be amused at PCW being so proud they booked him today - you know, on the 10 year anniversary of Eddie Guerrerro dying of an enlarged heart. Never change, Wrestling.
