Or do you think Brian Pillman might also have had a career on par with Stunning Steve Austin?
Now, I'm not saying Pillman would have become the face of the company and sold bagillions shirts and become the highest grossing superstar or whatever. I just mean, I think Pillman could have been huge, held in the same group as Bret, Shawn, HHH, The Rock, Austin, Taker, & Foley and not some undercard guy that was eventually forgotten about, but a WWF Champion.
In many ways I like Brian Pillman a lot more than Stone Cold Steve Austin circa Summerslam '97. Austin's good wrestling days are almost behind him now, with his immanent neck break at summerslam coming up, and I've yet to really see him as being on the same level as Bret & Owen, or Bulldog.
Pillman however looks great in the ring, and has just as edgy and awesome a character as Stone Cold. It's apparent to me that Pillman is just being held back (bad term I know, but I don't mean it in a negative manner here) until more story can be told and also for the right time to spring him on the WWF. He's definitely a main-eventer and Austin's equal. It's just a matter of giving one the push to the top, and THEN the other, and Austin is going first. But what do I know.
What do you guys think about The Loose Cannon Brian Pillman?
