ayn rand hand job posted:Brian Pillman was working a loose cannon angle where he was booked to be on the outs with WCW management. He talked his bosses into letting him work ECW after giving him a formal release so it would add to the realism. It's also worth noting that this was after he shattered his ankle in a car accident and was practically unable to wrestle on a permanent basis.

And that his plan was to just leverage the angle into being paid "Lex Luger money" by WCW and wanted to just use the WWF to raise his price. The WWF was the only one offering guaranteed money after the accident so he went with them. Then felt so guilty about signing a contract he couldn't live up to in the ring that he wrestled well before he should have and hosed himself up worse.

Being friends with Austin probably helped him get that WWF gig, since by '96 Austin was getting bigger by the week.

When you make a promotional investment in a guy in his late thirties who spent most of the last two decades of his life doing pro wrestling you should probably expect to have to spend three years replacing all his bones and organs before he can fight.

Brian Pillman once called up a friend who worked for some football team and asked him to run across the field during a game holding up a sign with Brian's name on it, because it would get Brian lots of press and guarantee him a better contract during his wrestling negotiations. The guy said,"Yeah but won't I get fired if I do that?" and Brian replied,"Yeah but we gotta make sacrifices to get what we want."

Then business picked up and punk was injured for 2+ years but things were dire when all of this got inked.

Pillman went up to Vince at a convention and Vince didn't want to deal with him since he thought he was a psychopath until JR convinced him it was all a work.

If I remember my stories right, Big Show's first friend in the WCW locker room was Brian Pillman. They bonded over their shared love of pranking people by taking shits on the floor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt3jlekNbaI Put it like this, uh, CM Punk, Phil Brooks ny migga. Fly to Sacramento with a quickness and Dan Quinn will give you instant 9-second KO Hands of Steel. You'll be legally murdering Conor McGregor in no time while retiring in style from the Cold Fission Miracle. Speak on it, Scott Smith.

The kick does its job. It's not meant to hurt Bisping or anything of the sort, just set up the BRH.
