Busted Open Radio interviewed AEW producer and former WWE Superstar Billy Gunn this week, who talked about his upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame with D-Generation X. Gunn also spoke about the late Chyna also being inducted with the group. Below are some highlights and audio for the interview (transcript via WrestlingInc.com).

Gunn on being excited about Chyna joining the Hall of Fame: “I think that was the most exciting thing about this whole thing because when [Road Dog] had said, ‘And Chyna’s going in,’ that was a huge relief for me. I’ve always said that she needed to go in.”

Gunn on what Chyna did outside wrestling: “What goes on outside of wrestling is what goes on outside of wrestling. It has nothing to do with the fact she had a huge impact in wrestling and that’s what this is recognizing. It’s not recognizing that I was once an addict or recognizing that I’m not a good person. It has nothing to do with what this has to do [with].

Gunn on how Chyna should’ve gone in by herself: “‘Oh, she should have went [in] by herself.’ Let’s not look at the negative side of this and look at the positive side. She is going with the group that kinda put her on the map and she’s going with the most iconic and most influential groups of all time.”
