Its a shame really.

That's the thing. His potential, which was huge, got snuffed out. People here for some reason like to degrade dead people and claim death somehow taints our thoughts on the man, but his talent was there. It was that of an elite superstar, there can be no denying that. He didnt have a weakness, except his health.
We shouldnt be arguing about what Pillman was, because he was what he was..a great talent with untapped potential that could have attained that elite status, and quite easily.

Being booked for a time like shit...derrr Yellow Dog, like the ignoramus pointed out, isnt a fault to Pillman. It takes nothing away from what was being buried...which was more talent than most other wrestlers could ever hope to claim.
