Still the biggest loss of talent in wrestling in my life...








"But hey, IM NO TASKMASTER" the subliminals in this one are gold

Taking goldust broad lol


Rip, truly one of my GOAT

Pillman is basically what Dean Ambrose would be if the overrated delusions of his stans were actually true. Top 5 to never hold a world title

He was clever as fukk on the mic, and legit seemed like a threat. I was really hoping he teamed with Austin in early 97...they had one of the hottest rivalries before he passed.

Pillman shytted all over flair and goldust during their respective fueds

 

[THE 101]

That worked shoot he had in ECW was legit

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Pillman 9MM >>>>>>

Still probably my all time favourite Raw segment.

Right now Vince would give his eye teeth for someone with Pillman's ability to blur the work/shoot lines that well.

 

[the artist known az]

Hollywood Blondes, Flying Brian, Loose Cannon

 

[Bob Loblaw]

He reached his ceiling. Segments would've been dope. Ahead of his time

Pillman working with vince against Austin in 98 wouldve been humorous . Pillman would shoot on Patterson I bet

Heard Bischoff talking about Pillman on his podcast a few weeks ago. He mentioned about how the "I respect you Bookerman" was a work that only he and Pillman knew about, and the plan was that Pillman really gets fired, to go to ECW to refine the Loose Cannon character (which he did) and then come back to WCW, but instead he went and signed with WWF.

Bischoff said something like, "i'm still not sure if he was working me the whole time to get to WWF, or if I was in on the work against the WWF and just didn't know it yet"

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Worked the whole industry

Ahead of his time with his character and in-ring ability pre injury. Possibly one of my top ten all time. I became a real mark for him as a teen after watching the DVD set they did on him years ago.

I disagree....i think the way attitude era was going, especially after bret left, he had a bright future still. He would've spun out of that goldust fued into a program/blood fued over the title vs. austin.

Assuming HHH didnt try to have him buried.

I think his ceiling was where Chris Jericho was to be honest.

There was an ep of Shotgun Saturday Night where he was on commentary during a Mankind match. This was around the time he was doing the 3 faces gimmick. Mankind is walking down to the ring saying "Bang bang" and Pillman says "Gangbang? Nobody wants to have a gangbang with that ugly SOB " had me

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Pillman had it all. He could play the super babyface if he wanted to and he was good at it but his heel runs were dude was legit fukking crazy. lol

He was a hell of a worker too. Him and Jushin Thunder Liger tore the house down

 

[jackswstd]

He damn sure earned his moniker. I remember watching the Pillman 9mm angle as Austin beat down his boys and thinking to myself, I hope Pillman didn't pay them dudes to protect him. Pillman had that intensity in his eyes and he made me believe Austin was about to catch two to the chest.
