Book on the life of Brian Pillman coming out end of October
 
With it being a particular anniversary today, I feel it's the appropriate time to announce the upcoming release of my first book.

At the end of October, Crazy Like A Fox - The Definitive Chronicle of Brian Pillman 20 Years Later will be available on Amazon and other online retailers. The book offers the most in-depth analysis of Brian's personal and professional life ever compiled, with unheard details of his football and wrestling careers complimented by exclusive interviews with close friends and colleagues, such as:

- The Pillman family
- Dave Meltzer (Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor and close friend of Brian's)
- Kim Wood (Cincinnati Bengals strength coach, father figure to Pillman and co-creator of the Loose Cannon)
- Bruce Hart (Brian's trainer, partner in Bad Company and close friend)
- Raven (Former travelling partner, worked together in WCW and ECW)
- Jim Cornette (Booking committee member for WCW and the WWF during Brian's time in both)
- Mark Madden (Former PWTorch writer and confidant to Pillman)
- Les Thatcher (Promoter of the Pillman Memorial Shows)
- And many more...

I know there are a few Pillman fans on here, so thought it would be cool to post...

Big Vic 10-05-2017 02:49 PM

Congrats on your book! Hope you bring the podcast back!

hb2k 10-05-2017 02:55 PM

New episode this week :-)

DaveWadding 10-06-2017 03:00 AM

Yo, you're writing this? Someone on r/SquaredCircle was talking about it on the Rewind thread today. Cool.

Sixx 10-06-2017 04:17 AM

No interviews with Bret and Austin?

Odd.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2017 07:52 AM

Sweet!

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2017 07:53 AM

How was interviewing cornette and bruce?

Mr. Nerfect 10-06-2017 06:49 PM

Congratulations on getting a book out. Onward and upwards by the sound of it. I can't wait to hear latest podcast too.

Triple A 10-06-2017 08:42 PM

Nice dude

Triple A 10-06-2017 08:43 PM

Can't seem to find the book on Amazon. Seems a shame that it isn't there for pre-order now since I'm seeing it get a lot of coverage in "the dirt sheets" today and yesterday

Swiss Ultimate 10-06-2017 09:17 PM

Good cover.

Create space doesn't really allow for that.

hb2k 12-12-2017 01:15 PM

For those interested in picking this up (its getting great reviews, and I know our own Dale Newstead has read it for an objective take...) - Amazon code for $5 off $15 on any print book:

BOOKGIFT17

Works a charm for this book...

Anybody Thrilla 12-12-2017 01:47 PM

Good look, boss. I'll probably scoop one of these on Thursday, being a Cincinnati guy and all. :y:

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-12-2017 01:49 PM

Man if Dale Newstead read it and he liked it, I'll have to buy it!

It is legit great. Liam interviewed about 7 million fucking people and through them almost made it feel like an autobiography. Very detailed, very well-written, and just really cool.

Bad News Gertner 12-12-2017 03:07 PM

Gotta finish up my Sean Avery book and my Montreal Wrestling book and I'll pick it up

A Brian Pillman book and no mention of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Lol, ok there bud.

Also, a story on the book by Alex Marvez of Sporting News can be found here:

Thanks for that valuable input, though.

OwenHartFan 12-15-2017 04:35 AM

Still fucked that any biography of Brian Pillman won't have Austin in there. Just seems poorly researched.

hb2k 12-15-2017 07:43 AM

Given the feedback from people far more knowledgable about the subject than yourself, I'd have to say your opinion on the matter is poorly researched.

Big Vic 12-15-2017 07:51 AM

Biography on Tommy Dreamer next plz.

Bad News Gertner 12-15-2017 08:36 AM

Yeah I'm having a hard time figuring this one out too. I'm not sure if it's a sock or what.

Big Vic 12-15-2017 08:41 AM

He was in the red yesterday and now has plus 10,000 rep.

Destor 12-15-2017 08:54 AM

Bad News Gertner 12-15-2017 08:58 AM

Could you imagine? Itd just turn into pge long quotes about austins dog and him talking about how heel turn at X7 "was what it was"

Translation....

"Steve Austin had little or no relevance in the wrestling career of Brian Pillman."

Yeah really. You should only post your sig if you have a kick ass sig.

He's back

Sixx 01-05-2018 12:54 PM

Hm, does Amazon ship outside of the US?

I could probably find it online, but even though I read comics on my laptop I could never read a book on the computer. It just doesn't work.

Sixx 01-05-2018 12:54 PM

Damn, even if they do ship outside of US I would probably pay a fortune.

hb2k 01-05-2018 04:21 PM

Depends where you want to ship to, where are you based?

Ol Dirty Dastard 01-05-2018 04:27 PM

Gonna get mad #HeelHeat with the #TPWWBoyz for posting your sig.


I like it.

Ol Dirty Dastard 01-05-2018 04:28 PM

Here, now we can be a heat seeking tag team.

Destor 01-05-2018 04:37 PM

I hope you get cancer

Destor 01-05-2018 04:37 PM

Penis cancer

Ol Dirty Dastard 01-05-2018 04:40 PM

Man, that is the kind of heat some wrasslers dream of. I'm working you fucking marks like a bawss.

#1-norm-fan 01-05-2018 04:41 PM

It's a subtle Pillman tribute. Takes a real loose cannon to show his sig every post like a mad man.

Destor 01-05-2018 04:41 PM

Gonna go write shittt reviews on amazon

Ol Dirty Dastard 01-05-2018 04:43 PM

I have spammed Amazon with nothing but 6 star reviews.

#1-norm-fan 01-05-2018 04:52 PM

We should all promote different wrestler biographies in our sigs instead of stealing Liam's gimmick completely.

Ol Dirty Dastard 01-05-2018 08:04 PM

He is a Libertarian

Mr. Nerfect 01-05-2018 08:09 PM

I've been so busy over Christmas, but I'm going to try and order it sometime this week. Heard nothing but great things and I enjoyed the podcast with Matt that went into the processes.

Who cares if Liam posts his sig? He's pimping a book he wrote. When you actually do something, I think posting with your sig is fine. The only reason I don't post with mine is because I haven't done anything.

Bad News Gertner 01-05-2018 08:18 PM

I've done many things

Awesome.

Loose Cannon 04-20-2018 10:21 PM

haven't finished the book yet, but so far it's an excellent read :y:
