And before all that he was one of the best wrestlers in the world. His career was a tale of two halves for sure.

I think inside the ring, Owen had the better career, but Pillman just has so many memorable moments that are still talked about today
I'm not too familiar with Pillman, so for me he doesn't really have so many memorable moments.

Hollywood Blondes team with Austin, pulling a gun on Austin, joining the Hart Foundation, feuding with Goldust.

These are the only things I really know him from.

I did think he had potential, but I don't think I ever thought "they should make him world champ" like I did with Owen. Maybe I would have if I saw more of Pillman, or if he didn't pass away and continued his career..... but I can only go based on what I thought at the time.

Which leads me to give Owen the nod.
