TNA: Kip James ,Part 3


Sopp then once again had a short feud with Jeff Jarrett for the Intercontinental Title before reuniting with Road Dogg to reform The New Age Outlaws. The Outlaws then won their forth tag team championship by defeating The Rock 'n' Sock Connection. After defeating teams such as Edge and Christian, Hardcore Holly and Crash Holly, and The Acolytes, The Outlaws reunited with X-Pac and Triple H to reform D-Generation X. The reformed DX then feuded with the likes of Steve Austin, The Rock, Kane, Mankind, Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon. During this time, The Outlaws won their fifth WWF Tag Team Championship after defeating Mankind and Al Snow.

At the 2000 Royal Rumble, The New Age Outlaws retained their Tag Titles against The Acolytes after and interference from X-Pac. The Outlaws then had a heated feud with The Dudley Boyz, who won the WWF Tag Team Championships from The Outlaws at No Way Out 2000. After suffering a torn rotator cuff in a match with The Dudley Boyz, Sopp was kicked out of DX for "losing his cool". Sopp then took some much needed time off to tend to his arm injury, before returning later in the year.

Sopp made his return in October and immediately teamed with Chyna to feud with The Right to Censor, who wanted to "censor" his Mr. Ass gimmick. At No Mercy 2000, Right to Censor members Steven Richards and Val Venis defeated Chyna and Sopp after Eddie Guerrero knocked out Chyna with a lead pipe. Due to a stipulation, Sopp could no longer use the Mr. Ass gimmick, so he renamed himself Billy G. for a few weeks before settling on "The One" Billy Gunn. Gunn then feuded with Eddie Guerrero and The Radicalz. At Survivor Series 2000, Sopp reformed DX for one night only, teaming with Road Dogg, Chyna, and K-Kwik in a losing effort against The Radicalz. A few weeks later on SmackDown!, Sopp won the Intercontinental Championship from Guerrero. The title reign was short lived, however, as Chris Benoit defeated him two weeks later at Armageddon 2000.

After feuding with Benoit, Sopp interfered in the WWF Hardcore Championship Match at No Way Out 2001, and taking advantage of the 24/7 Rule, pinned Raven for the title. The reign was short lived, as Raven would win it back a few minutes later. Sopp then competed in the Hardcore Division until June when he turned heel and had a short feud with the 2001 King Of The Ring, Edge. After the feud, Sopp quietly turned face again and formed a short lived tag team with The Big Show. At Show's request, the team was called "The Show Gunns". At InVasion 2001, The Show Gunns and Albert lost to the team of Shawn Stasiak, Hugh Morrus, and Chris Kanyon. The Show Gunns quietly disbanded and Sopp feuded with the The Alliance midcarders.
