Brian Pillman Jr. always comes across as such an idiot on TV. I see zero potential in him, even if his life story is compelling.

He also posted a pic of himself wearing a "Cancel Cancel Culture" jacket backstage so he seems to be an idiot IRL too.

He comes across as a complete dweeb, especially against someone like Black, who is actually cool

His "feud" with MJF was the nail in the coffin. He looked like he didn't belong. 

Yeah, what should have been a blood feud was approached by Pillman Jr. with an aww shucks earnest babyface routine. All wrong. He's still greener than grass, but I do see a sliver of potential him. I see more in Griff Garrison though.

HHAHAHA I don't know if that was a botch or intentional, but that should be curtains for BPJ ever amounting to anything lol

With the top-tier talent that isn't being used (and in some cases, isn't even signed), it feels like a waste to focus on him. They tried and there's no shame in that, but yeah, that should be the end of it.

Since this match is boring, it's also a good time for me to state that I find Brian Pillman incredibly overrated, especially his early 90s work.

One of my all time favorite wrestlers because of his early 90’s work. I thought he was a phenomenal babyface with a ton of potential. WCW politics hurt him, then when he was on the verge of breaking out with the Loose Cannon gimmick he had his accident. I think he could have been a big deal in the attitude era but it wasn’t meant to be.

I thought for sure it was Brody King. Made it anticlimactic 

Felt like a botch. I'm hoping we weren't supposed to be impressed by that hocus pocus of Malakai suddenly teleporting halfway out of the ring, or whatever that was.

Scorching hot take. I disagree 100%.

If you're measuring him up against other high flyers, well, no, but he was a tremendous wrestler.

His heel work in the Hollywood Blonds and in ECW/WWE Attitude Era is the stuff of legends, but he was a great fiery underdog babyface too.

See, especially with the loose cannon thing, watching the weekly Nitros (admittedly not in real time) it just never seemed like a big deal, more like an annoying distraction in between the important stuff. I am sure it was revolutionary for its time but I am not sure what actual potential that gimmick had.
