[1] In the first few years of his career, he was mainly used in tag team matches alongside his brother, but in September 2014, he changed his ring name to Bobby Gunns and adopted a smoking gimmick, as a way to elicit heat from the crowd.

The following year saw him begin his unbeaten record in Hamburg with a win over Da Mack,[4][c] and at the 17th Anniversary show, he won the Shotgun Championship, defeating Ivan Kiev for the title.

He was finally defeated by Marius Al-Ani at Shortcut to the Top, but later in the night, won the battle royal for a title shot at the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship.

[11] On night three, Gunns formed a new stable (later named Die Raucherpause), when he and Norman Harras, assisted Pretty Bastards (Maggot and Prince Ahura) in winning the tournament and the vacant wXw World Tag Team Championship.

[16] On the 2 October episode of Shotgun, Gunns called in a favour to Metehan to use his lackeys Abdul and Aytac as replacements for Harras and Prince Ahura, who dropped out of an eight man tag team match.

[23] With emphasis on Al-Ani's unbeaten run and Gunns' status as the longest reigning Unified World Wrestling Champion,[d] the two men faced off against each other on 9 April 2020, at Dead End.
