Pillman DVD!

A Pillman DVD, if handled properly, could be really interesting. However, check out the match list:

Brian Pillman's before my time of watching wrestling - I was wondering whether you're looking forward to this:
The Brian Pillman DVD "Loose Cannon" will feature a 95-minute documentary on his career, touching on football, Stampede Wrestling, his run with Austin as The Hollywood Blonds, the Four Horsemen, ECW, his car accident, his time with Hart Foundation and will include the following matches:*Bruce Hart & Brian Pillman vs. Midnight Cowboys 4/23/88 for International tag team titles
*Pillman vs. Lex Luger 10/28/89 Halloween Havoc
*Pillman & Tom Zenk vs. Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin 2/12/90
*Pillman & Austin doing "A Flare for the Old" segment on WCW TV
*War Games 1991 with Pillman & Sting & Steiners vs. Four Horsemen
*Pillman vs. Ricky Morton 10/27/91
*Pillman & El Gigante vs. Barry Windham & Arn Anderson 6/12/91 loser leaves town match
*Pillman & Windham vs. Johnny Gunn & Zenk 12/26/92
*Pillman & Austin vs. Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas 5/23/93
*WCW Thundercage with Pillman & Sting & Dustin Rhodes vs. Paul Orndorff & Austin & Rick Rude
*Pillman vs. Jushin Liger from the first Nitro match
*Pillman vs. Dean Malenko 1/22/96 Nitro
*Pillman vs. Eddie Guerrero 1/23/96 Clash of Champions
*Pillman vs. Austin 6/16/97 Raw
*Hart Foundation vs. Austin & Shamrock & LOD & Goldust 7/6/97 Calgary Stampede
*Pillman vs. Goldust 9/7/97
*Pillman vs. Liger 2/29/92 SuperBrawl from Milwaukee

By my count, that's two ***** matches (Wargames, Canadian Stampede), two ****3/4 (Liger/Pillman, Blonds v. Steamboat/Douglas) matches, and a whole bunch of awesome. Zenk/Pillman v. Midnights title switch from Capital Combat is missing, although that would have been great, too. Definitely I'm buying this one.

    I always liked Pillman. He had an interesting career, and he was one hell of a worker. Nowadays, compilation DVDs are made for everything under the sun when it comes to wrestling. But I’m seriously excited about this, and yes, I’ll also buy it.

    I wonder if they are going to use the footage from WCW when Pillman left the ring and went off on Kevin Sullivan.

    Potential to be the best combination of documentary and matches that they have put out. I’m really, really looking forward to this one.

    Bahhh No Pillman/Liger from SuperBrwal 2 that makes me not so happy but who I am I kidding the rest of that is gold so yet more money Vince gets from me.

    As I said when I found out about this, Pillman’s before my time so although I’ve seen clips of his Hollywood Blonds and Loose Cannon days, I’m surprised they’re devoting a DVD to him.

    Yeah, that’s worth at least a Netflix rental. Pillman was criminally underrated for most of his career, and to see those two powerbombs off the cage again would be very nice indeed

    Sweet.

    FINALLY a DVD with a WarGames match on it! Not to mention a “Flair For the Old” one of my all time favorite segments from WCW AND the Canadian Stampede match!!!

    I think Brian has been somewhat forgotten and I really hope this makes people realize what a tragedy it really was when he died.

    I was buying this anyway, but now its a Tuesday morning purchase.
