First saw Pillman in the Hollywood Blondes during the series with Steamboat and Douglas and thought he was the most annoying dick I'd ever seen. Him and Austin were such good heels that if I saw a team like them now, I'd love them instantly, but back then, I wanted to see them get shitkicked.

Pillman was great. As for the "nothing without a death" point, hey - if Kurt Cobain meant little to music, his death wouldn't have meant much anyway. Lead singer of Drowning Pool dies, no immortal legacy just because of a death. The end of Pillman's life is a really sad story, how he became the talk of the business and a red hot commodity, but things just not going his way, ultimately spinning downhill for good, throwing it to the curb. Unbelieveable character that I wish we could have seen more of.

And if anybody has a FULL copy of the Brian Pillman WWF Contract Signing, complete with his flip-out that they'd like to sell, please PM me...
