[7.0] "Ich habe von Anfang an das Gefühl gehabt, dass Brian Pillman seiner Zeit irgendwie voraus war. Im Ring wusste er genau was er tat. Meistens habe ich ihn nur als Heel gesehen. Sein Micwork und seine In-Ring Arbeit passten hier perfekt. Hier hätte einfach mehr gehen müssen, also besonders in Richtung Face Dasein"

[9.0] "Brian Pillman is, low key, the total package. In the ring? Brian Pillman could do all the high flying moves that left the audience breathless, was also great when he got technical in the ring, always doing something to keep the fans entertained. On the mic? While he may not have the most appealing voice in wrestling, he was able to make his voice fit his "Loose Cannon" character and cut amazing promos, his return promo in ECW is one of the most iconic that I still think about to this day. As a character? He played the role of the "crazy" wrestler to a tee, you could argue he's the benchmark for how to be an insane wrestler. In terms of charisma? No doubt, this man was always captivating to watch whether he was on the mic or in the ring, never a borefest. Hell, you could argue he's the greatest worker of all time, he was a master at blurring the lines of reality and fiction, to the point, McMahon and Bischoff were even worked by Pillman. R.I.P. Brian Pillman"

[10.0] "In terms of being an entertainer and master of his field, nobody comes close to Brian Pillman. In his athletic prime, he put on a lot of technically strong matches. His tag-team with Steve Austin easily could have been a huge asset to WCW, and his unpredictability made for must-see TV. He might not have ever won any of the major singles titles, but Pillman still managed to walk this Earth like a champion ala Roddy Piper. He had a surprisingly good look despite being only 5'10, " and was constantly wanting to improve himself. Thus there was some layer of professionalism despite being totally out of control and a master of manipulation. Behind the scenes he started a bidding war between WCW and WWE, while making brief appearances on ECW. Thus attempting to pinpoint his main promotion is virtually impossible. The WWE years were a little difficult due to severe injuries, yet Yellow Dog kept this hidden well and often told his stories verbally. In many ways, Pillman was like a cross between Kurt Cobain and Andy Kaufman. Talented beyond his peers, intelligent, yet ultimately self-destructive. 10/10."

[7.0] "Hereditary health problems that ran in the family didn't stop Pillman from becoming one of the best lightweights of WCW's early years. There was big hype in him signing with the WWF but the car accident destroyed his ankle and he lost about 70% of his ability and saw very little ring action before a heart attack took him at a young age like his Father. Pain medication probably didn't help either. For a short career and being gone a long time now, he still fondly remembered by us old school WCW fans."

"One of the most underrated performers of all time. Truly innovative in the ring as "Flyin Brian" and on the mic as the "Loose Cannon." The wrestling world was robbed not getting to see Pillman at his peak."

[9.0] "Pillman ist einer dieser "was wäre gewesen, wenn" Fälle. Anfangs ein relativ farbloses Babyface, aber unheimlich innovativ und athletisch für die frühen Neunziger. In den Hollywood Blondes blühte er dann an der Seite von Austin richtig auf und entwickelte sich zu einem absoluten Komplettpaket. Bei WCW bekam er in der Folge aber keine Chance seine Klasse unter Beweis zu stellen. Sein Engagement bei den Horsemen und dann seine Charakterentwicklung zur unberechenbaren tickenden Zeitbombe waren vielleicht seine Karrierehochphase. Nach dem schweren Autounfall war er leider im Ring nicht mehr der selbe. Dennoch war er in der ECW und bei der WWF immer noch extrem unterhaltsam und seine Segmente waren immer sehenswert. Er brachte die Attitude zu einer Zeit, in der die WWF insgesamt noch nicht ganz so weit war. Sein tragischer Tod hat die Wrestlingwelt eines potenziellen Superstars beraubt."

[10.0] "My criteria is almost exclusively based on "how watchable are they"? And with that, Brian Pillman claims multiple rewatches and rewinds in earnest. I wish I have seen more of his work in Canada but - the Jim Herd era in WCW was fan-freakin-tastic. Everything he did wearing neon or Bengal striped trunks is extremely high quality ring action. One of the all time ULTIMATE UNDERDOGS. Undoubtedly Lex Luger's best opponent outside of Ric Flair (Luger n Pillman KILLED it at house shows). Wicked great chops. Pioneer of the junior heavyweights and his work from the top rope was a game changer. Matches with Jushin Liger are legendary. Helped make WCW f#ckin COOL in the early 90's. Hands down one of my favorite babyfaces ever, none more fiery. The Loose Cannon stuff didn't resonate with me. The WWF material is a series of disconnected events. Team with Tom Zenk was underrated, team with Steve Austin was overrated. Recommended! 9.5 rounded up."

[8.0] "A talented asshole. Not in real life, but that's his gimmick throughout his entire career. He was an asshole, as a heel and a face. Amazing in ECW, great in WCW and...sadly, not as great in WWF because of his injury. He could've been a star in the Attitude era"
UWF Rules Enthusiast wrote on 06.03.2022:
[7.0] "Flyin' Brian Pillman was a good worker in the late '80s and early '90s. He was a very good high flyer for that time. His dropkicks were spectacular. He started focusing more on his heel character work in the mid '90s. Of course, his injuries eventually prevented him from working on the level he used to work at. His "Loose Cannon" character was one of the most talked about characters at the time (this was around '96)."
WhatIsLooveee wrote on 28.01.2022:
[10.0] "Unfortunately, Brian's life ended very early and he died when he was only 35. He managed to become an outstanding mid-card wrestler and half of one of the most entertaining teams in roster of those years in WCW and became a real sensation in WWF when he became "Loose Cannon", a completely insane unpredictable character, one of the most interesting in the attitude era. He has only 10 years wrestling experience, and in his later years he did not perform as actively due to a serious injury, but however Pillman was a creative genius who recorded his name in the annals of history."

[6.0] "Assets: Doesn't get the recognition he deserves for bringing The Attitude Era to the forefront of mainstream wrestling. His early in-ring work was just as innovative as his character work. Did rather well as a tag specialist and faction member. - - - Flaws: Was undersized in the "land of the giants" era of late 20th Century wrestling. Was forced to change his style after suffering a severe ankle injury. Regrettably passed away before his potential was fully realized, leaving us to wonder what could've been. - - - Career Potential: Satisfactory major league vanguard wrestler."
Ma Stump Puller wrote on 13.08.2020:
[7.0] "Pre WWF, Pillman was a remarkable high flyer for the time, being able to have great matches with nearly anyone in the ring, but worked best with guys around his size and talent, both in singles and in tag teams, namely as the all too short Hollywood Blondes with Austin. His size and mass meant that he was never going to be a heavyweight contender but he could still go and was relatively ahead of his time with his moveset and a stronger focus on workrate and in ring storytelling rather than the usual standard for wrestlers. Pillman got better on the mic as time went on, but his wrestling got considerably worse (much like his tag partner Austin) through that really wasn't his fault considering his car accident had left his body completely wrecked and incapable of working his usual style. Pillman got more grounded and relied less on high flying moves to try to keep himself together, but it was clear that he was dragging himself along in these matches: he didn't have much else in the tank. Despite some sensational promos during this time, Pillman was overall a lot less impressive compared to his WCW days, and I really couldn't put him much higher as he never quite got himself back to that condition again. If he had, combined with his mic skills, he might have gone a lot further than he ever could."

[10.0] "Always been a big fan, even in 1996 when I was only 4 years old I loved watching his "loose cannon" persona and I have since went back and watched his classic WCW, NWA and Stampede stuff and he was always so great. Even after his motorcyle accident and couldn't be "Flyin Brian" anymore he just changed his character and adapted. I really wish he hadn't left us so soon. He would have been huge in the Attitude Era."
DaWizWithAD wrote on 07.07.2018:
[10.0] "In my mind, Pillman is one of the all time greats who should have been more, although I honestly think he wouldn't have became WWF Champion since his body was breaking down by the time he got there... Although he seemed to be smart enough that he very well may have adapted had he had more time. He had good acting skill, good charisma, great in-ring slill, and a mind for the business, the complete package for a smaller guy in the American wrestling scene."
jcb9 wrote on 12.05.2018:
[9.0] "When people say Pillman would've been WWF Champion had he not died, it very much sounds like revisionist history to me. He was a midcarder, pretty much #4 in the Hart Foundation's pecking order behind Bret, Owen, and Bulldog. Besides that, by the time of his death, injuries had very much slowed him down and he wasn't the in-ring performer he once was. With that said, in his prime he was as good a high flyer as you'll ever see, and as his ring work began to decline he developed out of the ring into one of the best heels in the business. His "Loose Canon" gimmick is the stuff of legends."
TheLoudMouth wrote on 10.01.2018:
[9.0] "Hätte sein Herz länger mitgemacht, dann wäre er längst ein legendärer Main-Eventer der 90er gewesen. Pillman brachte nahezu alle nötigen Skills mit, die er für die Uppercard und den Main Event gebraucht hätte: Er war richtig stark im Ring, war großartig am Mic und konnte auch durch seine Ausstrahlung überzeugen. War seiner Zeit einen ganzen Schritt voraus, den er aufgrund bekannter Umstände leider nie nutzen konnte."
JEK 1991 wrote on 03.10.2017:
[9.0] "Underrated for sure! He was great and fast in the ring. He pioneered the high flyers which wrestling later on had wrestlers jumping off the turnbuckle. Former football player was trained in the Hart Dungeon. His best time was in WCW becoming the very first crusierweight champion. Even teaming with Steve Austin was great as the Hollywood Blondes. He went downhill when he had the Loose Cannon gimmick. It ruined his wrestling style. Reminded me too much of Kurt Cobain. ECW was just hype. When he went to WWE he was one of the wrestlers who used attitude in wrestling. Using a gun on TV now that's scary as hell. He had a great feud with Steve Austin and Goldust. He was great with the Hart Foundation. Even talking about sex on TV and wrestling was WOW! He was an icon during the early days of the attitude era. Shockingly he passed away and it was very sad to see him disappear. You could just seeing he was dying in pain. Who knows what would have happen if he did not died too early. WWE does not acknowledge Pillman anymore. His wife Melanie is just taking advantage of his children now. If he was not wrestling today he could have been a color commentator or training wrestlers. I wish he was in the WWE Hall Of Fame."

Das wäre im total entgegen gekommen und er wäre bestimmt in den Main Event gekommen."

[9.0] "Pillman was years ahead of his time. In his early career he was a amazing wrestler and a fantastic high flyer, after a horrible car crash and his physical side was failing him. He came up with a character that was innovative, interesting and very different. His loose cannon promos were amazing and completely different from what everyone else was doing at the time. It's a shame he passed away when he did since he's do fantastic in all 3 of the big companies as the loose cannon."

[8.0] "Pillman is legendary for many reasons to his evolution as a character, from a young high flyer, to one half of the Hollywood Blondes, to Part of the Hart Foundation to a crazy psycho, the fact Pillman was always doing something has left many good memories for the fans."
Mizzle Assault Ant wrote on 28.08.2016:
[7.0] "I do like Pillman but I think he has become somewhat overrated historically. He was a good flyer and technician in his prime, but never a true standout in either category, and his list of great matches is actually very short. His "loose cannon" stuff was inventive for the time but rarely tied into a true angle or match, and eventually devolved into a bunch of "worked shoots" with diminishing returns. He is good, especially at certain times like with the Hollywood Blondes, but mounting injuries really cut short his prime before his untimely passing."

[9.0] "Flyin' Brian war etwas besonderes. Athletischer Kerl, toller Tag team Wrestler, herrausragender Charakter. Nur war er zu einer Zeit eben auch sehr Kontrovers unterwegs, was ihn wohl zu großen Engagements brachte. bei WWE steckte man ihan in ein Stable mit leuten die höher auf der Card standen, nichts gegen die Hart Foundation. Dennoch bewieß er dass er überall wo er war etwas draufhatte. Hätte man ihn in der ATtitude Ära gebookt als diese im vollen gange war, er wäre ein Top Star geworden. Leider hatte er sein leben nicht im Griff und verstab durch seine Sucht. Schade um einen besonderen Charakter, den es in dieser Form kein zweites mal mehr gab."

[9.0] "Sadly didn't find his best gimmick until the final year or two of his too-short career. Was always able to put on a match that would impress a crowd... And the intensity of his personality leaked through the babyface promos he was stuck with... But it was only following his bookerman exit from was and his short stint in ecw where everything turned to hold for pillman. I wonder if he could have joined Austin and rock at the top of the foodchain in wwe or not. I do know that I loved everything he was doing and I feel strongly he was just getting better and better."

Leone wrote on 15.01.2014:
[10.0] "Brian Pillman is 1 of those wresters with 2 different legacies. In 1 legacy, he is 1 of the most important junior heavyweight wrestlers in the late 80s/early 90s, as well as a fantastic tag team wrestler. His match against Jushin Lyger in 1992 was phenomenal, and even though he didn't win a heavyweight title, he was able to hang with the big boys like Sting and Flair. His 2nd legacy focused more on his character than his wrestling. After a car accident practically destroyed his ankle, his physical prime was unfortunately cut short. But just before, and during this period, "The Loose Cannon" became 1 of the most interesting, unpredictable and controversial characters, not only at the time, but ever. Pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable on television, breaking kayfabe and the fourth wall, and creating an anti-hero/villain along the lines of something Quentin Tarantino would happily create. In the end, we never truly saw Pillman's true potential, due to his young death and also because of his car accident. If he had the Loose Cannon gimmick, while maintaining his Flyin' Bryan wrestling skills, he would very likely have become the top heel and a future world champion in WWE. His influence eventually helped create a path towards WWE's most profitable years. WIthout ECW and Brian Pillman, there may not have been an Attitude Era to compete with WCW."

[7.0] "Brian was a trendsetter, but wasn't fully appreciated when he was trendsetting. A bit controversial at times, Brian was a really talented wrestler. The thing that stands out to me about Brian was his dedication. He was tremendously gifted and really dedicated to whatever he was going for. Whether it be creating controversy as the loose cannon persona, or adding to the Hollywood Blondes gimmick the guy was persistant and creative. I don't think there is really enough positives that can be said about Pillman, the biggest negative is the fact that he left us to soon."

[10.0] "I really miss Brian Pillman. I wish he was still alive today. In person, he seemed like such a good guy and in wrestling, he had all the god given tools you could possibly ask for! He had something that I really wish every single wrestler had, he was really a big, big student of the game, he'd watch Ric Flair's promos and he studied them and I think that definitely helped him in the wrestling business besides the fact that he was always reading vocabulary books to add new, interesting words to his dialogue cause he was always outstandingly, unbelievably great on the mic and he was also such a great wrestler and he could tell a story so well in a match and his loose cannon character was awesome! Before he died, I think he had an amazing wrestling career! Him having a fitting name like "Flyin" Brian Pillman because of his unbelievable high-flying that was way ahead of his time and going into an elite group in wrestling such as the Four Horseman and doing so well in that group and then developing his loose cannon character, going to ECW, having a great career there, and even though he wasn't happy later when he was in WWF, I still think he had a great career there as well! He was in the 2nd incarnation of the Hart Foundation which that stable was awesome and every guy did so well in that stable, even Brian! Me and the rest of your true fans miss you so much Brian. R.
