Pillman

Recommended Posts

I've never seen a Brain Pillman match, and he remains one of the last few praised wrestlers I haven't watched often.

 

What are some of his best matches, and what would you rate them? why are they so great?

 

Give me your thoughts on the guy in the ring (maybe some strengths/weaknesses).

 

I greatly appreciate it.

vs. Flair (WCW Satrurday Night)

Was that the match where both of their chests turned purple with welts from all the chopping? Visccious smacks if I recall correctly.

That's the match.

Find ANY Hollywood Blondes matches you can. He and Austin were one of the best tag teams ever, on par with the R n' R's or Midnights, and got broken up due to petty politics. Their big feud with Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas would produce, on average, a four star match at least every time they fought.

 

You also need to find some footage from WCW late '95-early '96 when he started using his real life "loose cannon" persona. Everything about it was gold.

 

The match from Fall Brawl '95 vs. Johnny B Badd went nearly a half hour and was four stars.

 

He also had a match with Flair in '89-'90 that was billed as a mentor vs. protege match, I believe it was on WCW Main Event, that was a great bout.
